The Queen’s Gala was a beautiful reminder that the title is so much more than a crown…it’s about the memories people impacted, and the legacy left behind.

It was such a special night dedicated to celebrating the women who have worn these crowns before us. 👑✨

I had such an incredible time celebrating the beauty of cultures from around the world at the International United Miss World Fair Party! 🌎✨

Tonight, I celebrated my German heritage while embracing the opportunity to learn from the amazing women representing countries from around the world.

Our stories, traditions, and experiences are what make each of us unique, and it’s our shared sisterhood that brings us together. 👑

💙I is for Integrity💙

At my first ever pageant, I was incredibly amazed and delighted to see how everyone supported one another backstage! That’s the type of mindset I want to bring to internationals, I want to support and be kind to all my fellow contestants!

Day 3: Respect
I admire all of the IUM contestants for stepping out of comfort zones, sharing their stories, and be authentic. But today I want to highlight my Colorado girls! I cannot wait to see them all take the stage next week! It’s been so fun getting to know these wonderful ladies 💕
I love and respect them all so so much! #iumrespect #ium10

As we count down to Internationals, I’m so excited to introduce the incredible women who will be competing for the title of International United Miss this July! 👑🩵

Next up… COLORADO!

Hello everyone! My name is Keira Dotson, and I’m your International United Miss Colorado! 👑

💙I’m currently an undergraduate student at the University of Colorado studying to get a bachelor’s of science in public health! I plan on going to PT school to earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree!

💙My biggest passion in life is ballet, I’ve been dancing since I was 3! I also do a little bit of modeling on the side as well! When I’m just chilling at home, I’m usually baking, crafting, playing video games, or watching the Colorado Avalanche!

💙As an African American woman, I’ve experienced first hand what it’s like to be discriminated solely due to the color of my skin. This is why I created Curly! A safe environment that educates people on past and present history, the racial barriers that people still face today, and how we should Listen, Learn, and Lend in times of need!

💙Im still new to pageantry and have competed with IUM for the last 2 years. What I really like about this system is the focus on sisterhood and helping others! That’s primarily why I fell in love with pageants, I want to help those in need and make a difference in the community!

I’m excited to meet new friends, cheer on my sister queens, and push myself to be the best that I possibly can at internationals!
