Owens, Lewis and Miner will go on to compete in the USA Ambassador National Pageant in Florida this summer.
“What I enjoyed most about the experience was seeing how empowered these women, young and old, feel with or without makeup,” said Owens, who was a first-time competitor at the pageant this year. “When you get all glammed up, you get that little boost of confidence. That is why I am going into cosmetic chemistry. I like helping people feel empowered to do what they want. So, just in that aspect, I think my favorite part was being backstage and seeing the look in their eye when they are getting their hair done or getting their make-up done. Just this look of confidence. This look of empowerment. This look of contentedness. I don’t know how to explain it. It gives me hope for future years, for sure.”
