Miss United States Appears at the Nevada Women‘s Expo

PRLog (Press Release) – Mar 16, 2009 – Brittany Williams, the reigning Miss United States, is the featured speaker at this year’s Nevada Women’s Expo, an annual two-day event to be held Saturday and Sunday, April 4-5 at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center. Miss Williams’ program, "B Real …with Brittany," is the offshoot of her own struggles to build self-esteem.

The national program’s goal is to help young women find their own identity, define their own beauty, and celebrate who they are. It empowers girls to make educated decisions, live their lives to the fullest potential and most importantly, to "Just B. Real".

Miss Williams’ presentation at the Nevada Women’s Expo is part of a premier event for women which includes 200 exhibitors. Expo booths range from cosmetics to insurance, to massage, health, food, travel and education. Brittany Williams joins other speakers who will be giving presentations on health and finance, beauty, career, and other topics.

The Expo weekend gives women a chance to feel pampered, sample products, wine-taste, network, find that perfect gift or ideal piece of jewelry or – most exciting – to win one of the expo’s many door prizes, such as a $100 Expo shopping spree.

Miss Williams’ presentation is a powerful combination of personal and professional experience. She has a great passion for her platform, “Building Self-Esteem and Empowering Young Women.” Growing up suffering from low self-esteem, insecurity and depression, Brittany secretly wanted to be a beauty queen. Finally, at the age of 21, she competed in her first major pageant, though with little success.

She devoted the next three years to self-improvement and to developing the confidence and strength that she never knew she could possess. She now shares the insights she gained through her own struggles, using her title to affect change and help girls overcome societal pressures and arbitrary body image standards.
