True beauty is not just about a striking appearance; it is about the confidence that radiates when someone embraces their authentic self. Embracing one’s authentic self is a lifelong passion turned small business for Stacy, the visionary creator behind the brand The Frizz Girls, this philosophy is more than just a tagline—it is her life’s work. As she prepares to step onto the national stage at the Petite USA pageant as Elite Ms. Petite Kentucky in Chicago this July in Chicago this July, Stacy is proving that the journey to self-love is a lifelong celebration.
A Full-Circle Journey
Stacy’s relationship with the stage began early; she first competed in a pageant as a precocious three-year-old winning that coveted red 2nd place ribbon and a trophy! Now, decades later, she is embracing the spotlight again in the “Petite USA” pageant this July.
This return to pageantry as an Elite competitor is not merely for a chance to win the crown; but it is a strategic platform to showcase that young women and girls can embrace their natural hair texture and be sophisticated, versatile, and stunning just as they are. Whether the occasion calls for formal evening wear, athletic attire, or sharp business interview outfits, Stacy’s goal is to demonstrate that natural hair texture is beautiful and belongs everywhere—from the boardroom to the ballroom.
The Heart of The Frizz Girls
An accomplished author and illustrator who is a graduate of both the University of Kentucky and Northern Kentucky University, Stacy founded The Frizz Girls to fill a vital void. The brand, which includes a series of four books, a dedicated journal, hair care accessories and classes, began as a set of illustrations in 2021, inspired by her own life experiences, friends, and family.
The Frizz Girls is more than just a collection of stories; it is an educational movement. Stacy’s mission is to teach young girls and women how to love, care for, and celebrate their unique curl patterns. While Stacy spent many years in Los Angeles—a hub of diverse hair textures—she recognized that young girls in smaller communities, like her current community of Bowling Green, Kentucky, may not have as much exposure to seeing hair like theirs being represented in daily life.
