Workshops
Workshops
It is imperative that we prepare the entire court, on each campus, for the year ahead of them. Participating court members learn the importance of professional development, personal appearance, public speaking, stage presence, community service and leadership. Therefore we offer workshops to each court in order to develop these skills; not just for the pageant, but for life.
Heel......No Problem
Heel......No Problem
Within the Heel......No Problem workshop directors train participants how to properly walk in pageant appropriate heels. We instruct on the difference between a pageant walk and a run way model walk. Participants become aware of their body posture in heels, angels that flatter them and turns that compliment their walk.
Queens to Service
Queens to Service
Within Queens to Service, participants conduct a service project at an area women and children's shelter. Together the participants meet, develop, plan and execute the project. The ladies will learn how to set up service projects, delegate tasks, learn others strengths and weaknesses as well as become apart of their community.
Queens Lead
Queens Lead
Within Queens Lead, participants learn intricate parts of professional development such as public speaking, scanning the audience, posture, answering questions, interviewing skills, professional appearance, professional etiquette and the importance of being knowledgeable of multiple topics. With these skills, Queens are able to lead and teach others these skills both directly and indirectly during their reigns.
Undergarment Expert
Undergarment Expert
Participants learn the diversity of undergarments and which ones flatter their body types. The display of what to do and what not to do often grasps the attention of all participants. Proper coverage of body parts under loose fitting or tight fitted clothing is displayed as well. Participants are able to bring their current undergarments and learn about new ones.
Hair, Nails and Makeup
Hair, Nails and Makeup
Within Hair, Nails and Makeup we instruct participants on the appropriate steps to take in completing pageant hair, nails, makeup and accessories. It is important that the Queens understand that less is most often more in pageantry. Properly matching hairstyles, makeup, nail colors/styles can make or break a look on stage.
Plus Size Fashion
Plus Size Fashion

Jazzmine Nolan is the reigning 2017 Miss Missouri State of the Miss American Diamonds Pageantry System. She has been competing in pageants since high school in which she paid for her half of her undergraduate studies at Harris Stowe State University. Ms. Nolan participated in several pageants during her undergraduate career including Miss HSSU, Miss Black and Gold and Miss Sigma Alpha Phi where she learned that she was provided 1st runner up-3rd place not because she couldn't compete, but because of her dress size. From there, the Miss BBW Scholarship Pageant was born in 2016.
