About twelve years ago, my daughter, Shani and I became involved in the pageant industry -- an industry that was viewed by us (and many others), as a complete waste of time, money, energy and spirit. What Shani and I did not know then was that even though this industry had been around for quite some time, it was an industry whose time had not yet come and one that would change our lives forever.
Shani and I stepped into this arena on an act of faith, not knowing really why we were there or what would be the outcome of our involvement. What we discovered, together, were new and exciting worlds of growth and development, a new way of communicating with one another, and a whole new world of achievement in areas we had never given a second thought. We knew no one in the pageant industry and had no reason to believe that we should be involved - and no reason to think that we would ever reap any benefits as participants. Now, ten years later, we are totally immersed in this industry and now understand why.
Twelve years ago, when Shani "begged" me to allow her to enter a beauty pageant. My response was - well, for those of you know me, I'm sure you know how I responded. However, she was adamant about getting more information about this competition, so I polled the Director and when I was convinced that this particular pageant would be very helpful, i.e., learning interview skills, etc., I said yes. That was in 1993. That year, Shani placed 2nd runner-up; the following year, she returned and in 1994, she placed 1st runner-up. She returned the next year and in 1995, she won her first title. Since then, she has won a title every year - at least seven titles in all, including the right to compete for Miss America State titles in Pennsylvania and Missouri. Over the years, we have both greatly benefited and grown personally and professionally as a result of being involved in the pageant industry.
