Another image of Kayelin from the @heyimhereohio campaign. Hey, I'm Here is a youth-led community engaged in changing the conversation when it comes to our mental wellness. We traveled all over Ohio photographing and listening to people's stories. . This is Kayelin's story. The goal of pageantry is to develop confident, intelligent, and engaging women. I knew that if I wanted this title, not just the sash and crown but a reputation of confidence, I would have to become a woman that is healthy in mind and body. For the first time ever, I was motivated. Motivated to understand my depression. Motivated to understand my value. I have used my pageant platform to advocate for young people suffering in silence with poor mental health and low self-esteem and my goal has been to educate people on the importance of speaking up and seeking help.
