Lydia is not happy about how some pageant organizers exploit young ladies who partake in pageantry and urged entertainment journalists to investigate such issues instead of conniving with organizers in their gimmicks. She started her campaign on social twitter yesterday with a lot of tweets and spoke extensively about how she discovered how some pageant organizers made young ladies pay for pageants.
What amazed her the most was the fact that women always spearheaded some of these pageantry organizations.
“If more girls would be bold to speak out, maybe there could be a solution to this.
But too many young girls are so desperate to be “popular” they’ll all but sell themselves for it.
Again this isn’t to condemn all beauty pageants; there are some credible ones out there, just as there are some corrupt ones.
If people were held accountable for their actions etc. We would have so many young girls spending everything they have just to get “a crown.”
And if some journalists would dedicate some of their time to look into these things instead of peddling false
“Until she recently told me that she had been asked on several occasions to indirectly pay for things.
I was surprised, and couldn’t believe it, until another lady, who like my cousin tried out for a pageant told me the same thing.”
She continued do her own investigations and was amazed at the findings as pageant organizers asked contestants for money.
“These girls in some cases have to buy their own food at camp, spend on their own clothes for TV, and even transportation.
“So what happens to the girls who can’t afford these things? Don’t they get a chance? What’s even more alarming is that, these practices are spearheaded by WOMEN? How? Why?” she asked
