The Miss Plus America Pageant System
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!
