About this submission
When a black teenager reluctantly enters a prestigious pageant, she becomes consumed by the intense pressure imposed by her ambitious mother, leading her to adopt a mean-spirited demeanor towards her fellow contestants. As she navigates the cutthroat world of pageantry, she must confront her own insecurities and rediscover the true meaning of beauty, friendship, and self-acceptance before her dreams crumble beneath the weight of expectations.
