St. George woman competes at Miss Deaf Utah | thespectrum.com | The Spectrum
While many students take a break over the summer, several young women are gearing up for a unique competition.
Deaf and hard-of-hearing women from around Utah will compete in the Miss Deaf Utah Ambassadorship Program on Saturday at 6 p.m. at South Hills Middle School, 13508 S. 4000 West, Riverton.
The public is invited to attend; doors open at 5 p.m.
The program is titled, “Discovering Hidden Treasures,” and is billed as an “Arabian Night to remember” with Aladdin, Jasmine and the genie performing as contestants vie for the title. Emcees are Steven and Davina Snow with entertainment provided by noted performer Clay Anderson.
The program will be presented in American Sign Language with voice interpretation provided. Tickets range from $6 to $20 with special rates for students and seniors.
The Miss Deaf Utah Ambassadorship Program, formerly Miss Deaf Utah Pageant includes a private contestant interview, talent performance, platform presentation, evening gown and on-stage questions.
The winner will be awarded $2,000. The first runner-up will receive $900 and the second runner-up will receive $450.
“We’ve changed the name of our competition to emphasize that these competitions are not just about beauty,” said Andrea Anderson, state director. “Miss Deaf Utah is also about leadership, service, and much more. The purpose of this program is to empower young, deaf and hard-of-hearing women to embrace and refine their leadership skills and thus be a voice for their communities and the deaf culture.”
Among the seven contestants is 19-year old Natisha Luke from St. George.
Luke enjoys boating, wakeboarding, hiking, and camping with her family. She has completed phlebotomy school and is certified. This fall she plans to enroll in college to become a C.N.A. In the future she would like to work with young children as a teacher or pediatrician.
“We hope the community will come support these fine ladies,” Anderson said.
The Miss Deaf Utah Ambassadorship Program is affiliated with the Utah Association for the Deaf, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.
