Jazmin Laughlin was born with Factor VII Deficiency, a rare bleeding disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n

To protect herself, she wears her clothes like armor to shield her skin from being scratched, bruised or cut. The slightest laceration can prove deadly.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want [people] to self-reflect and get tested to see if they have a bleeding disorder,\u201d said Laughlin, who serves as the Homestead Campus Student Government Association president.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To educate others who suffer from the rare condition, Laughlin is using her platform at the first-ever Miss MDC Homestead Pageant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The pageant will take place Dec. 9 from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the covered patio area of building F during the Homestead Campus\u2019 annual <\/span>Toys for Tots<\/span><\/a><\/span> toy drive. Attendees have to donate a toy to enter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lolisa Torbert<\/span><\/a><\/span>, a student life program coordinator at Homestead Campus, who was recently crowned Mrs. Florida U.S. Continental, created the pageant as a way to encourage people to participate in the annual toy drive.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSince I love pageantry so much because of the opportunities and friendships it has given me, and the empowerment of women, it [was] something that I definitely wanted to bring to Homestead Campus,\u201d Torbert said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Participants will be judged during three segments. Their opening dance, followed by an opportunity to showcase their school spirit based on their outfits and a question and answer portion featuring evening gowns.<\/span><\/p>\n

The winner will be crowned Miss MDC Homestead for the 2021-22 academic year and receive a prize package that includes a sash, trophy, a feature story in Crowns Magazine and<\/span> are entered as candidates for the Citrus International Model Search.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pageant applicants had to enroll in at least three credits this semester, have a minimum 2.0 GPA, and be a SharkNet member. More than 20 students applied but only six qualified.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Laughlin<\/b>, <\/span>Anna Johnson<\/b>, <\/span>Brianna Bogues<\/b>, <\/span>Jimena Pi\u00f1a<\/b>, <\/span>Shamori Fancher<\/b>, and <\/span>Daniella Noel<\/b> are vying for the Miss MDC Homestead Pageant crown.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Torbert mentors the contestants on Wednesdays. They practice pageant walking, rehearse interviews and do empowerment activities where they say things to uplift each other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI’m really looking forward to bonding with other females,\u201d said Bogues, one of the contestants. \u201cIt’s deeper than wearing a crown and a sash. It’s getting that empowerment from other women and having other girls look up to.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Johnson, who served in the United States Army for four years in Belgium, believes the pageant will allow her to elevate others.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI really like to empower and uplift anyone that I come in contact with,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cIt\u2019s almost like the other girls are my little sisters.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To ensure the safety of all participants and attendees, Homestead Campus will limit the audience at the event to 45 people. They will promote social distancing and encourage face masks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Torbert wants to continue hosting the pageant annually and possibly make it a college-wide event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b\u200b\u201cWhoever wins, I know all the other girls will be just so happy for her [and] they would like to remain on her royal court for the remainder of the academic year,\u201d Torbert said. \u201c[That] just shows what great sportsmanship they have.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
