There is an article that goes with this video. The pageant is in the Dallas metro area on September 28th. Here is more from the article:
The First Annual Bald and Beautiful Pageant aims to celebrate the elegance, confidence, and unique beauty of bare-headed women.
Taking place at the Mesquite Arts Center on September 28, the pageant will include up to 30 bald women, and hopes to instill self-confidence, raise awareness, and help support community engagement.
“As a bald woman myself, I started engaging with the community that also had more beautiful, bald women,” said Kateena Prescott, Pageant Director/President of the She Is Movement. “I had identified that there was not a lot of confidence in that community, so I wanted to be the pillar to be able to…raise awareness and be an advocate.”
September is Alopecia Awareness Month, which is a common medical condition that can cause hair loss, although baldness can be caused by multiple types of diseases, treatments, and conditions.
The pageant contestants will compete in five categories: formal wear, swim wear/beach attire, talent, questionnaire, and the final section, “my prerogative,” which is an opportunity for each contestant to show off their uniqueness. The event will also include entertainment, music, and onsite small business vendors.
“Society looks at them in a different way, being bald and beautiful,” said Okemar Weatherall, Vice President of the She Is Movement. “We want to let them know it’s okay, and we’re here to support them in any way necessary.”
The organization has an Instagram profile, of course, and it is worth supporting.
