Platform: Throughout
my pageant campaign
season I will be
highlighting abused
children as my platform.
Specifically emotional, mental and physical abuse. I feel in myself that I have to give back in any way possible; I want to be able to be a voice for anyone who feels they don’t have one. Too many times where the media does not have coverage on such a sensitive subject. In my opinion, I believe highlighting those areas can help prevent suicides.
