At final night’s Miss America pageant, Delaware’s Kayla Martell became only the third-ever Miss Delaware to create it for the leading ten finalists — and her story is genuinely inspiring. Martell, a 22-year-old native of Milford, Delaware, has alopecia areata — an autoimmune condition that triggered her to shed her hair at just ten years old. But she did not let it quit her from pursuing her dreams — and final evening, Martell was an inspiring instance to us all.
You cannot be defined and shouldn’t be defined by your hair, Martell told the Delaware On the web inside a current interview.
Martell, who has competed inside the Miss Delaware pageant 5 occasions (3 occasions without having wigs; two occasions with them) is actually a outstanding instance of why it really is really worth it to fight for the dreams.
Did we mention she wore a Sherri Hill evening gown? (We’ll update the post with images as soon as we get some prints in.)
Congrats once again to Kayla!
