Founded
by Kymm Barnett in early 2003, the Ms
Thick & Lovely National Pageant aggressively tackles
the leading causes of death amongst women in the United States. Cardiovascular
disease, HIV, low self esteem and a host of others; that could be
avoided through the power of knowledge and learning before it’s
too late. Current statistics translates to 1 in 4 women die today,
because they do not know what to look for, or know about prevention.
Our
Purpose is to educate the women of tomorrow,
by giving them a positive direction for a life of quality, health
and happiness today.
In the
observation of young women today coping with peer pressure, low-self
esteem and being full figured; just to name a few obstacles in their
lives. They find themselves in life altering encounters, changing
the course of their future and forfeiting their dreams. These situations
give our youth, nothing to work for and nothing to look forward to.
Starting with self; we intend to get these ladies interested in good,
safe, healthy life practices; so they will move into a future of greatness.
Teaching them how to recognize, change habits and break away from
things that kill them and their futures. Our ultimate goal; creates
awareness and produces a host of beautiful, confident and prosperous
women.
Because
we recognizing heart disease, HIV and unwanted pregnancy claim the
lives of women at a significant rate. We have created an event that
will speak directly to young women about heart health and self respect
through beauty and personal expression.
The
Ms. Thick & Lovely National Pageant is a message
to many women who don’t believe, it can or will happen to them.
Our cause is one we feel all women, young and old alike, should stop,
take a deep breath and recognize these killers. Know the facts, develope
good life habits and strive towards a happy, long and healthy life.
Our
Reason
for this pageant is to bring awareness to all women
who love to look great on the outside. We are providing a
stage to display and applaud their work at being just as beautiful
and healthy on the inside.
Thank You
