✨ WELCOME — YOUR JOURNEY BEGINS HERE. ✨
📍 The 2026 Ms. Full-Figured North Carolina & Virginia Pageant Weekend will take place Thursday, October 1st through Sunday, October 4th, 2026, in Durham, North Carolina.
My name is Purusha Jones-Shearin, Co-Founder & Director of the Ms. Full-Figured North Carolina and Ms. Full-Figured Virginia Pageants. I want to personally thank you for taking this courageous step toward joining our program. Whether you are registering for North Carolina or Virginia, I’m truly honored to have you here.
Both MSFFNC and MSFFVA were created with one purpose in mind:
to provide a space where women can grow, connect, rediscover their confidence, and be celebrated for who they are — inside and out.
To me, this pageant family is more than stages, rehearsals, and crowns. It’s a community. It’s a sisterhood. It’s a space where women are seen, valued, supported, and encouraged to evolve.
While the title of “Queen” is earned on pageant night, every woman who enters this journey is embraced with the same level of respect, support, and genuine care. The transformation does not begin on stage — it begins right here, in this moment.
Through this experience, my hope is that each woman gains:
✨ Confidence — the kind that carries you long after the season ends
✨ Clarity — discovering strengths, purpose, and personal direction
✨ Community — a sisterhood you can rely on
✨ Courage — to show up boldly in every area of your life
✨ Connection — with yourself, your story, and other powerful women
✨ Growth — emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and creatively
I want each participant to walk away knowing she is stronger than she realized, more capable than she believed, and absolutely worthy of taking up space.
This registration form is simply the first step, but it leads into an empowering journey designed to nurture your confidence, challenge you, and support you through every moment of the pageant season.
Thank you for trusting this process, for showing interest, and for giving yourself permission to step into something bigger. I cannot wait to meet you and walk with you through this chapter of growth and transformation.
— With gratitude and excitement,
Purusha Jones-Shearin

Ms. Full-Figured Virginia Pageants
