Kaliegh Garris: Redefining Beauty and Bravery in Pageantry

I feel like within pageants, sometimes the board, the bosses that are there, are looking for somebody specific that they feel that can do well and represent them well. And I feel like I maybe wouldn't have been fulfilled completely if I did happen to win.
What does it take to challenge the norms and redefine beauty standards? Kaliegh Garris, Miss Teen USA 2019, joins NBA champion Festus Ezeli on 'Rebuilding the Beast' to share her remarkable journey. Known for proudly showcasing her natural curls on the pageant stage, Kaliegh dives into the myths and misconceptions surrounding pageantry.
But this episode goes beyond the glitz and glamor; it gets deeply personal as Kaliegh opens up about her experiences with sexual abuse and how she found the strength to cope. She also discusses the pressures of social media, her modeling career, and the significance of confidence and self-love. Kaliegh's story is a powerful testament to resilience and authenticity, making this episode a must-listen for anyone navigating their own challenges.
