My Journey

Throughout my experience as a Lotus Beauty delegate, I learned a lot about myself. Initially, I was skeptical about my ability to integrate into this journey. I wondered if my body met the conventional standards portrayed in televised beauty pageants. The Lotus Beauty Pageant, however, celebrates diversity in body types. Delegates like myself are not required to conform to a specific physique; rather, authenticity is embraced. It’s not about being skinny, tall, or lean it is about being true to yourself.

While this pageant received widespread coverage on various social media platforms, the evening itself was marked by the thriving encouragement from loved ones. Encouragement was expressed in a multitude of remarks and reactions. That evening, all the stress and tears seemed to melt away from me as I stood on stage. Despite coming across some negative opinions, I understood that everyone is entitled to their viewpoint. Regardless of the remarks made, what meant more to me was the personal development I went through and the genuine sense of blossoming as an individual.
