The Miss Point Fortin Boro Queen Pageant is proud to announce its leadership in the movement towards body positivity and inclusivity in beauty pageants. Prior to the Miss Universe’s 2023 landmark decision to include plus-size women, our very own pageant featured two inspiring delegates, Wendy King and Emerald Edwards, who challenged traditional beauty standards and showcased the confidence and grace of full-figured women.
Inspired by the growing “Body Positivity” movement, which rejects body shaming and celebrates diversity in body types, the Miss Point Fortin Boro Queen committee made the conscious choice in 2023 to break the mold of the typical pageant delegate. This decision aligns perfectly with the global shift towards inclusivity, and the committee is thrilled to be at the forefront of this positive change.
Opening the door to plus-size women not only increases the pool of potential participants but also fosters a more empowering environment for all contestants. Wendy and Emerald’s participation in the 2023 pageant served as a beacon of inspiration, demonstrating that beauty and confidence come in all shapes and sizes. Their unwavering self-assuredness during the competition solidified the committee’s commitment to inclusivity.
Looking forward to 2024, the Miss Point Fortin Boro Queen Pageant promises to be another exceptional year. Building upon the groundbreaking inclusion of plus-size women in 2023, the committee has announced the expansion of eligibility to mothers, married women, and divorced women, further diversifying the pool of contestants and celebrating all aspects of womanhood.
The Miss Point Fortin Boro Queen Pageant stands as a testament to the power of inclusivity and diversity. By embracing all women, regardless of size or life circumstances, the pageant serves as a powerful platform for self-expression, empowerment, and the celebration of true beauty.
