Inside Look: What is Behind the Crown?
Black women have left no stone unturned when it comes to pushing boundaries and breaking barriers. The pageant world is no different, and when Behind the Crown: Miss Ohio USA releases next year, prepare to hear the stories of six remarkable women that have continued that tradition. These women have reached the highest heights on the stage and also carved out throughways for themselves and others beyond their pageant status.
This film is going to offer a look behind the scenes at what it means to be a pageant contestant. This story seeks to humanize pageant participants, foster empowerment, and provide guidance for aspiring contestants.
As we lean into the life of pageantry, we’ll also explore the generational impact and layered lives of Black women to tell a story of resilience, personal growth, and stepping into who you’re meant to be. Not just individually, but also as a collective. The women in this film are connected by more than just a shared stage, and throughout the film we’ll explore how all of their journeys cross over and build off of each other as time goes on.
We are currently still in the production phase, with a projected completion date in 2027. We’ve got an incredible team working on this film to bring the story to life and we can’t wait to share it with you.
