This morning's interview on The Morning Edition on Stillwater TV 31

Mrs. Stillwater International 2009 Stacey Harkins and I were interviewed by Casey Kendrick on Stillwater TV 31's Morning Edition today! We spoke about our platforms and about my year as Mrs. Oklahoma 2008, but primarily about the upcoming Mrs., Miss, and Miss Teen Oklahoma International Pageants on April 26.

The pageant is a fantastic opportunity for women who want to serve their communities and live the dream of being a local (and possibly state!) titleholder. The experience of pageant preparation is a lot of fun and very rewarding for all of those who participate. Pageants provide women with the opportunity to better themselves, develop their communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills. Pageants also provide motivation to take care of oneself physically and stay healthy and fit through proper diet and exercise. The local and state titles also provide an opportunity to advocate for causes that are important to the contestant and her community.

In addition, our 2009 state titleholders will receive a wonderful prize package (new prizes are being announced almost every day!) and the experience of competing at Mrs. International, Miss International, and Miss Teen International this summer in Chicago! Thank you to all of the wonderful sponsors who provide wonderful prizes, support our pageant, and understand what it's all about! I had a great time in Chicago with amazing, like-minded women from around the world, and I'm proud to say that I was named fourth runner-up!
