Now That You Ask

127. Maid of Cotton


Listen Later

Did you know that I was in a beauty contest? It's true. It was called the Maid of Cotton contest. It all started when my mother decided it would be a good experience for me to participate. Reluctantly, I agreed and went through the rigorous preparations for the contest. To my surprise, I won the first round and had to continue to the next level. However, as the pressure built up and I faced catty competition, I realized that this wasn't the path I wanted to pursue. Listen in as I reflect on this memorable and transformative experience.

Now That You Ask is a podcast that looks at topics that range from death to desire, and from wondrous to downright whacky. Join host, Akasha Halsey as she takes listeners on a journey through her writing and experience with life’s most persistent questions.
