Glad you stopped by. I created Pageants United Magazine to fill a need for a platform where all the voices in pageantry can be heard. A collection of the life stories, tips and tricks, and personal journeys of pageant moms/dads, fashion designers, experts, and of course-the queens themselves.

This all came to me as an idea while I was driving down Charleston Blvd. While sitting at a red light, a random thought popped in my mind- although we had our individual social media accounts to share our messages, that message was always limited by the amount of followers we had as well as the algorithm. But a magazine, although a bit old-fashioned, could bypass all of that and have a greater reach. It also helps that as pageant queens, we always have gorgeous photos to share.

My hope is that this magazine grows to become a staple in the pageant community. It’s more than just a publication—it’s a community. A place where everyone can feel seen, heard, and celebrated.

I welcome you to join in by submitting your articles, photos, and jumping in on the conversations in the Pageants United Magazine social media accounts.

This is truly YOUR magazine.
