As she steps onto the national stage, Becks aims to shine a spotlight on the Yorkshire Coast and her inspiring campaign, 'HER STORY', which celebrates women in education. Get ready to be inspired by this trailblazing beauty queen and her powerful message.
A Beauty Queen with a Mission
Becks, a local girl with big dreams, is no ordinary beauty queen. Born and raised in Scarborough, she now calls Whitby her home. Her passion for education and community engagement is what sets her apart. As she prepares for the prestigious Miss Great Britain pageant, Becks is determined to use her platform to make a difference. But here's where it gets controversial: she's chosen to wear an outfit sourced from a local charity shop, challenging the traditional expectations of pageantry.
The Power of Pageantry
Miss Great Britain, established in 1945, is renowned as the UK's oldest and most prestigious pageant. It goes beyond the superficial, seeking contestants who embody strength, intelligence, and compassion. Becks, a recent graduate from the University of Oxford with a history degree, embodies these qualities. Her motivation stems from a desire to represent her home region and highlight the incredible work being done by women in her community.
"I love the idea of pageantry, but it's more than just glitz and glam," Becks explains. "It's about the girls who are making a difference in their communities. It's an opportunity to showcase where I come from and the amazing things happening in my region."
A Unique Fashion Choice
One of the most intriguing aspects of Becks' journey is her decision to wear a charity shop outfit. She explains, "One of the sponsors of Miss Great Britain is cancer research, and I wanted to support that cause. Danny, the shop assistant, found the perfect dress for me, and I'm thrilled to wear it on stage. It's a way to give back and make a statement."
Promoting the Yorkshire Coast
Becks' focus on the Yorkshire Coast aligns with the pageant's ethos, which emphasizes promoting tourism and eco-tourism. As a potential Tourism Ambassador, she aims to showcase the region's beauty and raise awareness about environmental issues. Her campaign, 'HER STORY', takes this a step further by celebrating women in education, a cause close to her heart.
'HER STORY': Empowering Women in Education
'HER STORY' is a campaign dedicated to recognizing women in education who have been historically overlooked. Becks shares, "Many women throughout history have broken barriers in education, yet their achievements were often silenced. Today, some women still struggle to access higher education. My campaign aims to award these trailblazers with posthumous degrees and create scholarships for future generations."
A Growing Recognition
Becks points out a recent development at Oxford University, where a native New Zealander was awarded a posthumous master's degree. This, she believes, highlights the need for more recognition and support for women in academia. "It's inspiring to see this change, but there's still so much to do."
As Miss Scarborough prepares for the final, her journey is a testament to the power of pageantry as a platform for social change. Will she win the crown? That's for the judges to decide. But her impact on the community and her unique approach to beauty pageantry are already making a difference. So, will you be championing Becks on her quest to inspire and empower? The stage is set, and the story is just beginning. Get ready for a controversial and captivating ride!
