ABOUT US

What began as more than just a beauty competition, the Miss Plus America Pageant has blossomed into a powerful celebration of triumph, perseverance, and empowerment!

​

Founded in 2003 by the visionary Melissa Stamper, the first pageant brought together 16 trailblazing delegates from across the nation-state representatives from Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana, Texas, Washington, and North Carolina—all united to compete in this groundbreaking event. Fast-forward to 2014, and Marcella Meyer took the reins, further championing the pageant’s mission of self-acceptance and philanthropy.

 

Today, under the inspired leadership of Dr. Meahgan Dickerson, Esq. (affectionately known as Dr. Meag), the Miss Plus America Pageant is on a mission to make waves in the mainstream pageant world. As the most prestigious plus-size pageant in the nation, her dream is to add a "plus one" to the list of the Big 5 major pageants in America.

​

With 19 royal courts and thousands of extraordinary queens, the pageant proudly celebrates women from all walks of life: doctors, lawyers, educators, non-profit leaders, firefighters, nurses, radio hosts, Olympians—you name it! These women embody brilliance, ambition, and heart, and every year, new members join this vibrant sisterhood.

​

For over 20 years, the Miss Plus America Pageant has been a beacon of hope and a safe haven for curvy women to shine. Dr. Meag upholds this legacy, creating a platform where diverse beauty, talent, and individuality are celebrated. With its focus on promoting self-love, acceptance, and empowerment, the pageant uplifts women everywhere, proving that true beauty knows no size.

Because when curvy queens take the stage, they light up the world!
