As International Ms. DC and a visually disabled woman, I know firsthand how heavily life’s challenges can weigh on our mental health. I also know how much strength it takes to keep showing up with a smile, a sash, and a cause close to your heart. Especially on days when your own heart is hurting. That is why I am proud to support Still She Rose, a charity that provides mental health support for women in the pageant community. Every woman who uses her time and energy to shine a spotlight on the causes she cares about deserves someone looking out for her well-being, too. When you give to Still She Rose, you help make sure these women have the support they need to weather hard seasons and keep rising. Together, we can make sure no woman has to shine alone.

Still She Rose is a wellness program for leaders, women and teens in the pageant industry. Funded by the B4ACUSA Foundation, wellness program initiatives are open to all pageant community members.
The ROSE is symbolic of the spirit that grows within each of us when proper care and attention is applied.
Together, we can encourage wellness through self care, positive body image, renewed self esteem and affirmation of one's identity beyond pageantry. We aim to engage in a conversation of support, honesty, reflection and awareness, in order to promote wellness as the foundation of the pageant industry.
Because each of us can say, She Struggled; and Still She Rose.
