A Million Reasons Why You Should Apply For AMCP
You've been seeing the ads about "Who wears the crown of Ada Mbano 2015?"
and you're thinking to yourself, I won't let myself, my friend much less my
relatives enter this cultural beauty pageant!"
Hold on, don't be so fast to draw conclusions. I'm here to tell you there are a
ton of reasons why you should! A lot of people think that it's all about the
big hair, beauty, walking around on stage, and being superficial! You have no
idea what even participating in a competition like that holds for you. I’m
going to give you few of those reasons why you should be a part of this
experience.
1. Building Self-Confidence
The number one of a million reasons to enter a beauty pageant is to build
self-confidence. Have you seen Nike Oshinowo-Soleye speak in public? She’s
absolutely amazing. At some point she launched her fitness DVD “Fit, Forty and
Fabulous” if that's not confidence then what is?
2. Lessons You Learn
There are so many things you learn not only about yourself, but also about
communication skills, leadership, interviews, poise and more especially
cultural exploit! Pageantry is a doorway for those who want to be on stage,
give back, and of course learn more about themselves!
3. Friendships/Family
The girls you compete with or even after become your family, regardless of all
the stereotyping about girl fights and fake personalities. You'll be pleased to
learn that it isn't true. You'll always have one of those girls who eventually
turn out to be family.
4. Opportunities
Pageantry opens a window of opportunities in the entertainment world and
beyond. There are good chances you might turn out to be a professional model,
actor, performing artiste, ambassador and even hold a political position. The
list is endless! Even if you want to speak out about things you are passionate
about for philanthropy points of views as well, you know everyone will hang on
your every word because that’s part of what being a celebrity is all about, so
choose your words right.
5. Community Involvement
Now, the best sides of pageantry are the organizations you get to work with or
begin! It’s really all about giving back, paying it forward, and doing the
right thing! It’s just like doing your Community Development (CDs) as a corps
(NYSC) member the only difference is that you’re well known. Pageantry gives
you the opportunity to network with numerous organizations and work with them,
help them spread the awareness and much more. You just have to know that all
you need to do is ask right and have a well thought out plan and they will come
toppling at your brand. Now, you don't need a sash or crown to be involved with
your community!
6. The Crown
Now, of course the crown and sash are materialistically the highlights of the
competition. The title itself! But the truth is that you define the crown, the
crown does not define you. Meaning, you make the crown, so do something good,
amazing, and make a difference. Your reign is only a year, and in a year you
can do whatever your heart pleases! And trust me when I say some people really
just take that fame and party all year, I’m guessing you will want to be one of
the few that will want her name to be remembered with a deeper meaning than
just a beautiful face.
7. New You
Pageantry wouldn't do anything for you? Except you refuse to explore the
different platforms it places right under your lashes. Because pageantry
literally changes who you are with what you aspire to do, your vision,
philosophy and everything you once were. It teaches you so much about yourself,
and you learn so much about other key things in life from poise, grace, proper
communication, building self-confidence, networking, and much more!
So, do you think you are a bright young woman that wants to be singled out for
something distinctive? Do you really think you stand out among the most
beautiful and brightest ladies from all over Nigeria that are confident enough
to step out of their comfort zones? Let’s make this year a memorable one.
