About North Carolina & South Carolina Us Continental Pageants
For more than 25 years, the US Continental Pageant system has sought out and crowned women who are what we call the "total package." They are strong, passionate, committed to their communities, and have an inherent desire to make a positive impact on the world, but most importantly, we're a fun family to join on the adventure of a lifetime!
US Continental Pageant system is committed to excellence not only in the workplace but also in the community. It is our responsibility to provide leadership and give back to the community as much as we possibly can. In recent years, US Continental National Pageant has led or participated in many successful events from trade shows, open houses, seminars, sponsorships to community fairs, sports events, and educational activities.

My life changed on November 29, 2016, when I heard the words – YOU HAVE BREAST CANCER. After my diagnosis…I thought I would never be able to do the things I love again because I wouldn’t have the strength or confidence to do so as I did before.
Today, I am a 2X Breast Cancer survivor (surviving and thriving) and I have turned my pain into my purpose by Encouraging and Educating women about the importance of early detection with mammograms because that is what saved my life. I am so honored to advocating for Breast Cancer Awareness with H.O.P.E. and to have the opportunity to share this message across the world.
Honoring and praising all the survivors out there – to Never give up Hope and stay Strong!
