I was amazed on the portrayal of something I wanted to particiapte in....
26 June 2020
I grew up here in Fort Worth, TX and to see this story unfold before my eyes was refreshing. I always wanted to be in the pageant but I knew we couldn't afford it and I always felt I didn't have the talent or looks to be a Juneteenth Queen (Basically I felt I was to fat), but seeing this truly made me feel as if I was part of it from the success to the failure...I felt the pain of the actresses. I understood the mother's desire to have her daughter finish something she started, but then I also understood the daughters desire to be herself.

The relationship with her and her daughters father, was odd, but not uncommon. I actually knew a couple (Well not) that actually had that relationship and to see this...made me know that people truly do this. Why I don't know? But I think the way she wrote this left so much room for a for a part 2. So much was left unanswered and for me that was good.

I am proud of all that participated in this project and I must say I fall asleep easily on films....and this one...I watched beginning to the end. Not only did I watch...I want to see if the pageants are still held and make sure I help promote it next 2021 year. Congratulations. You brought awareness and the desire to support this to me....
