A Weekend of Queens: A series of conversations with three women who won and exceeded their own expectations I have a lot of pageant associates on Facebook and around the world who compete in pageants of all kinds and know about many, many things. I am chatting with one of them today about her recent win during the 20th anniversary of our original meeting, Plus America and the new Legends crown that she won over the weekend. Listen and Learn!

Being invited to "do a pageant" can be a thrill and a half. Doing a pageant, with little to no experience is all the ingredients you need for a nightmare. I have reviewed photos, videos and head shots from several pageants. Here is my take (36 years of experience in pageantry).

As a child I heard my mother utter those words... "You don't come for and I won't come for you", meaning don't pick a fight with me if I have done nothing to you. It may not turn out the way you've planned it. In this three-part podcast, I discuss the "Slap seen around the world"; Causes and Consequences of Stardom and its management or mismanagement; and finally the "War Putin Made"! Sorry this is so late but I have lost a friend since my last posting and taken time out to do some introspection. The Platinum DIVA - Rose H.

This week we lost one of our brightest lights in the Pageant community, Miss USA 2019, Chesli Kryst. You never know what is going on behind a person's face until you pull the mask that hides their despair and disappointment. Get some help can be easily said. It was said to me many years ago. It's been said to alot of us. We need to care for each other more during this time of COVID and self-imposed quarantine. It never hurts to ask: "Are you ok?" because they may not be. Call a friend, hunt for them on Facebook if they have not been seen or heard from in sometime, write a letter like we used to do years ago just to say hello. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rev-rose-h-mccall/support

So much to do and so little time to do it in. I took a hiatus from podcasting for a few weeks to get something together - pageants, family heath, and personal challenges.... but guess what? I'm back!

Its been a very long and difficult three weeks Peeps but I am ready to share some things with you all. I lost my beloved baby brother this month. Here is my version of what should have run as part of his Obituary, McCall, Robert Henry - Sunrise date, April 8, 1956, Sunset date April 6, 2021 in Montgomery, Montgomery County, Alabama. He was the youngest of two children, born to the late Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson McCall and the late Mr. Robert “Buddy” McCall of Montgomery, Alabama. He was the grandson of the late Rev. Robert (Paw Punch) McCall and the late Roseanna (Rudolph) McCall of Lowndes County and Montgomery, Alabama (Paternal) and the late Vera Finerson Poole and the late Henry Robinson (Maternal). Robert received his early education at a private children's preschool that was at the end of the block from their family home on Vine Street, which is now the middle of I-85 near Fairview Avenue. After preschool graduation, he began attending Fews Elementary School under the direction of Mrs. Katie Fews Evans whose father founded the school for Black students as the first elementary school on the west side of town. ​ I will mourn his loss for sometime to come. I can no longer call him twice a month or visit on a whim but 37 years is a long time to say good-bye to someone you love. Rev. Rose H.

Well its that time once again to talk about history and Montgomery is a place filled with history. From the Civil war to Civil Rights, I believe that "you must KNOW your history or you will be condemned to repeat it" as has oft been said. This is the anniversary week of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which ran from December 5, 1955 to December 20, 1956. In this episode I also talk about that "spiritual glow or essence" one has in photos and the difference between good winners and bad losers on every stage in life.

I spent 31 years, first as a contractor and then in Federal Service, working with and for the Military (Air Force and then Veterans) and have always felt a part of that circle. My ties with the Military go far beyond that with friends and family who serve or have served this nation. I believe that the discipline gained only makes an individual better suited to deal with real issues in a real world and we need to take better care of our Veterans... today and every day. Rev.

Welcome to my latest episode of "Pageant Journeys w/Alabama Sr. America"! I noticed that I have had almost 300 plays of my Podcast and listeners from 8 countries plus the USA! Fabulous! I hope that you will leave a comment, continue following and listening and be blessed by my podcast! This week is about VISUALIZATION - using your mind to "see" your goal in order to achieve it. Positive Visualization In order to achieve the type of success you want in life, you must VISUALIZE IT! In other words, – see it as it happens – wear the CROWN as if you already had it. You must be able to ask and answer the following questions: a) What do you want out of this pageant? Scholarship money for school, make friends, advance your cause or platform or do you shoot for a bigger fish – a national title and the money that comes with it?; b) Do you know the competition and are not worried because you are better than the rest? NEVER assume that you are so good that you do not have to STUDY the ones you compete against. Like any good sportswoman (and believe me, pageantry is the Super bowl for women) PREPARE for the game by studying your opponents. If you know their strengths and weaknesses, YOU stay ahead of them in the minefield of life; c) What is your end goal for being here? What do you plan to achieve? Do you have a “Master” plan to the crown? (Excerpt from my book "The Beauty Queen's Little Instruction Book"! https://triplecrownpag2019.wixsite.com/msalsramerica2020 Rev. Rose H.

The Pandemic put the breaks on a lot of things... Sports activities, family gatherings, but most of all for those of us who love competition - Pageants! This weekend we would have all been flying, driving, traveling in one fashion or another to the 41st Annual Senior America Pageant for 2020. Its been moved now to 2021 due to concerns about health, families and more. Its not too late for you to apply if you would like to join our Sisterhood of Queens and celebrate the "Age of Elegance" as we approach another stellar moment in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

By age 66 I have witnessed a lot of events in life, especially dealing with history and monumental change. No one had ever attacked our country on home soil. We were all shocked and overwhelmed.

My Social Impact Initiative is a daunting task but it must start somewhere. "Nowhere to live: Homelessness in America", is about the lack of fair, equal and affordable housing available in not just America but around the world. I was awe-struck during the Summer Olympics held in Brazil, when they profiled the Favelas, the substandard shanty areas where the majority of Black Brazil lives. What we have in America look like a paradise, compared to them. Our slums and "re-engineered housing complexes" need replacing - period. The average cost of housing in Montgomery is about $650 - 1200 a month and we have approximately 6000 units of everything from apartments to house for sale and or rent. The WORLD needs to take a step back after the dust settles and consider 1) A decent living wage, 2) the cost of a meal/eating in general; and 3) HOUSING to get people off the streets.

Like many of our Community - Black and White the world over we will spend this week in mourning Chadwick Boseman as if we KNEW him but there are three things to also take note of about how he lived and died. 1) He was diagnosed in 2016 - before he made his landmark movie. He underwent treatments, surgery and continued to "cover up" his sickness. He never allowed it to "overtake" him. 2) Hollywood is a very particular community. If you let one hint of illness show, you run the risk of being "passed over for jobs", agents might leave, leading to divulging your secret, so you keep it hidden. 3) And finally you work until EVERYTHING is done that you can possibly afford to do. Had it not been for COVID-19, he may have continued his treatments and worked one last project, but it was not meant to be. Rev. Rose H.

At what point do we get past the time of our self-imposed quarantine if people continue to go to bars, go to pageants without proper protection and basically ignoring the rules for Social Distancing? The University of Alabama's Tuscaloosa Bars are all on lockdown after 500 were diagnosed with COVID-19! Its so much better to be safe now, than sorry later. I watch Chinese and Korean Drams every day after I make my runs and get back in safely. Its fun because I am learning a smattering of both languages to the point I understood a small Korean girl ask her mother, "Why not?" I know its not much but for me, that's huge! Remembering the words of Rodney King after the most recent shooting, "Why can't we all just get along?" True - staying locked away from our friends and families is no fun but until this virus stops reinventing itself and we get a vaccine, we will never get rid of it at the rate we're going. We will never find common ground for hearing and understanding what we all need to survive as an "Earthly Family" until we HEAR each other. Rev.

I survived because I refused to be a victim and I refused to allow the person to control me, who I was as a person or determine the outcome of my life or theirs.

Well its July 25th and by the end of next week there will potentially be 25 Million people with no place to live, thanks to COVID-19 and the high cost of living in America. I was born in the home my parents bought, grew up in the home my Mom bought when I was a teen; lived there until long after my Federal Jobs, until my brother sold her home due to ALZ. To shorten a long story, not everyone can afford a place to stay regardless of home much they make, especially in the midst of a financial crisis.

What else can I call myself? I transport my adult kids to and from work now and that is my "unofficial title"! Nothing is close to where we live in terms of their new jobs and their schedules now overlap so, here I am riding down the road making this thing called LIFE work. Enjoy my perspective as I take you along on my journey on one of Montgomery's busiest highways! Rev. Rose H.

From the moment I could follow along with my mother as she read our family Bible (which I still have to this day - its about 75 years old or more) I have always believed int he power of prayer and known that if you "prayed with a sincere heart and waited on the Lord", that he would answer you in due time. We need to get back to this understanding, following after God's own heart, rather than our own wants and desires. Rev. Rose H.

Today was supposed to be my radio broadcast from a local station - 94.1, so I went in about 30 minutes early only to find half the place was now sick! I had gotten my banner and crown on and asked about the manager because he is usually there only to find out he is in the hospital with THE VIRUS! I quickly put everything back in the crown case and waved good-bye to my friend the anchor dj because he really did not llok well at all, and drove off.

In 1967 at the age of 13 I watched the earth movers and backhoes dig out my neighborhood from our perch at the edge of our block with my brother Robert. It was decided that the Eisenhower Interstate Highway would cut a swath through West Montgomery and head east , barely missing the local high school, Catholic school and church and and few other places. My mom was given just enough to pay for a "fixer-upper" two blocks from our old house and three blocks from the new highway. Friends and families were lost forever. Rev. Rose H.
