New Release! Just Call Me Daddy: The Impact of the Father-Daughter Relationship
Crowns, Dresses, Smiles…oh my! The life of a beauty queen can appear quite illustrious. What many don’t know is that many queens in pageantry have not come from a fairy tale beginning. They are women with pain and scars that have ripped their hearts at the seams…only to leave it oozing with the passion to bring forth purpose. Yes, Queens too wear crowns of thorns. Those thorns are the life experiences gathered along the way as they journeyed through the corridors of life, sometimes crying and begging for the gloom to be taken away. What these queens have done, is turned those pains into a platform to change the world. Here, we have compiled the ‘why’ from today's leading plus sized beauty queens. Why they kept going. Why they have a story and Why they care enough to share. Take the journey, and find out why these crowns..are crowns of thorns.

New Release! Just Call Me Daddy: The Impact of the Father-Daughter Relationship
Just Call Me Daddy dives deep into one of the most powerful and complex bonds a woman will ever know—the one she shares with her father.
Whether he was loving or distant, protective or destructive, present or painfully absent, a father leaves fingerprints on his daughter’s heart that last a lifetime. Research shows that when that bond is broken or strained, it can shape everything from confidence to relationships and even success. But what about the women who rise above it all? And what about those who seemed to “have it all,” yet still carry invisible wounds?
Through raw, honest, and diverse stories, Just Call Me Daddy explores the good, the bad, and the unspoken truths of father-daughter relationships. These pages will make you laugh, cry, reflect—and perhaps, begin to heal.
