HMM Beauty Convention for Multiple Sclerosis,

About the event

Whitney Wesley was crowned Ms. Arkansas, into the Miss ArkansasUnited States Organization, on March 28, 2015. Whitney is 30 years old. She is an event producer, author, and speaker. She created "Orange You Beautiful" Fashion Extravaganza (HMM Beauty Convention) which raises awareness and financial contributions to benefit Multiple Sclerosis. As a survivor of the non-curable brain and spinal illness, She can contest to the physical, mental, and emotional stress it causes. This is why raising awareness is critical, so one day it can be a world free of MS. It is with great honor that I invite you to sponsor my upcoming "OrangeYou Beautiful" Fashion Extravaganza. We are on our fifth consecutive show, and excited that this year show will be a part of Ms. Arkansas United States promise to her platform. The event will open with a "Hour of Empowerment" and educate guests on entrepreneurial, starting a business, finance management, and/or how to grow in your niche.

The 1st- 4th Annual  HMM Beauty Convention brought out hundreds of attendees, included a fashion runway show featuring iconic Arkansas fashion brands: Richie Clark Clothing, Bella Boutique, ETE’89, Paul Morrell, Diamond Designs, as well as ecommerce brands JustFab, who is at the forefront of technology, social media and innovation in the fashion tech space, and closed with a stunning hair show. Previous participants enjoyed the benefit of being featured in national magazine Hype Hair Magazine, Midwest Black Hair Magazine, and La Gucci Magazine.

In an effort to show our participants appreciation for being a part of the HMM Beauty Convention Awareness Show, we would like to offer participants a 1-page feature in a national magazine; the top stylist and makeup artist winners, along with the top model and first runner up model winners.

Whitney Wesley

My name is Whitney Wesley, a girl with MS. I was diagnosed in 2002, after waking up completely blind from optical neuritis at the age of sixteen. I gave up on my dreams, I thought my life was over, and struggled to accept the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis for many years. I was angry, depressed, and even mad at God. I realized that if I wanted someone to reestablish my dreams and hopes, that someone would have to be me. I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and do something about it.

The Orange You Beautiful-Hair, Makeup, & Models Beauty Convention (HMMBC) event was born in 2013 out of the compassion of wanting to do more for this disease that affects me and so many others. As with any disease early detection can be the cause of a person being able to live a productive life. The event was created to raise awareness and educate people on the non-curable disease, Multiple Sclerosis and acknowledge the growing talent in the field of performing arts in my community. I dedicated my life to raising awareness for Multiple Sclerosis until a cure is found. Through my event I am doing just that and helping deserving talents live their dreams. Proceeds gained from our event is used towards awareness initiatives and making dreams come true to the talent that participate. Last year we donated hundreds to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, MS Walk, via donations on behalf of me, and the event donating funds.

This year, we plan to increase are efforts and expand our reach. We are planning to take our initiative on the road to spread awareness nationally; hosting our event in Central Arkansas and San Diego, California. In order for our initiative to be successful the need for support is greater than ever, so we have decided to collaborate with online social funding platform, to reach a bigger audience.  As the former Ms. Arkansas United States 2015, raising awareness for Multiple Sclerosis and community involvement is worth more than holding the crown. Orange You Beautiful-Hair, Makeup, & Models Beauty Convention (HMMBC) reestablished my dreams, and with YOUR support we can help make sure no one has to give up on their dreams! With your support I can get more reach and more attention on my event, Orange You Beautiful . The more support and attention brought to the Orange You Beautiful event, the bigger our initiative can be to raise awareness for Multiple Sclerosis.
