The Miss America Pageant happens every year, celebrating the beauty of a select few women from around the country. this year, one contestant has had to overcome a lot more odds than most. Kayla Martell, Miss Delaware, was diagnosed at a young age with alopecia areata; otherwise known as unexplainable hair loss. She was going bald at age of 10 and had to wear a human hair wig. Unfortunately there’s no treatment or cure and no reason found why certain people are affected.
But despite being bald from the time she was a little girl, Kaylee has a dream to compete in beauty pageants. After 5 tries, she finally won the title of Miss Delware and will now be going to Las Vegas this year to compete for the title of Miss America. She is going to have four different European hair wigs for the competition on top of her various costumes and gowns.
When she’s not competing Kayla doesn’t wear a wig, as she has embraced her baldness as who she is.
Kayla has proven that no matter the odds against you, anything can be done if you put your mind and heart into it.
