HURDLER OF WEEK! QUEEN AFTAN WILLIAMS!

What made you want to get into pageants? 
Pageants are great for exposure when you are trying to do something impactful. My mom put me in a church pageant when I was 2 years old. When I found that you could earn scholarships and have a platform, I got bit by the pageant bug and I loved it especially coupled with my cause.

How did you choose which pageant you were going to be apart of?
Other women can be aware of pageants and more specifically the U.S. United Pageant system, by connecting to current title holders, visiting the pageant's website, joining pageant related social media groups or by looking out for postings at their schools.

How can other young woman be aware of the pageant system?
 Wow! What a great question! I have many goals so I will narrow it down and share my top four. My first is to use my current title effectively so that young ladies (ages 10-18 years old) will join my organization thereby helping to change the mindsets of our girls. Secondly, I hope to have 100 young ladies registered and consistent in my program. Third, I want every girl, no matter her background, race, status, condition, body shape or hair type to understand her worth.  Fourthly, I want to make a global impact so that my organization (I Am A Queen Foundation) is not just a program to join but a movement to follow.

Do you aspire to have a family in this day and age?
I absolutely desire to have a family in this day and age. Although I am ready for it right now, I will wait patiently for my husband that I can truly honor as a king.

How is your queen business going?
The business off helping young ladies understand their worth as royalty, is going great! Our next outreach is in October and we are mega excited! God can only take us higher from here.
