National American Miss (NAM)…at first I thought it sounded like a scam until I decided to go for an open call session with them to learn more about them and what they do.
NAM is an organization for young girls to build their confidence, gain good poise, and build valuable communication skills. They give girls around the country an opportunity to participate in pageants.
NAM is out to teach girls that you don’t have to be thin or look a certain way to participate in pageants or model to be an actress. They are trying to help girls learn to be themselves and love that they are as a person.
I personally think that this is brilliant, because many people think and believe you have to look, walk, or talk a certain way and that’s not the case. We should be who we are and not let society form who we are as a person.
When I went, the people that were there and holding the event were so nice and encouraging. They were honestly great people to be around.
I full heartedly support what they are doing and hope to one day work with their organization. They aspire to do the things that many people do not attempt to do.
