Many people think that famous models are born perfect, but this is not the case. Nothing comes to them from heaven — it is the result of hard work and incredible effort. And appearance is not always appreciated as much as one would like. The models that everyone admires today have also gone through difficult periods and personal dramas.
This is exactly what happened in the life of the heroine of our story. She became the first red-haired winner in the 94-year history of beauty contests.
Her name is Jessica Hagen. The successful model studied at the University of Liverpool.
She has always been an activist. Her specialisation in engineering and mathematics is also striking, as it is completely incompatible with the modelling business. However, there are always dissonances in Jessica’s life.
Nowadays, many would agree that red hair is her charming feature, but it used to be different. Her peers used to tease her about it. They teased and called her names, and even threw rubbish directly into her hair. To avoid being bothered, Jessica would hide in the toilet.
However, her life changed dramatically after Jessica joined a modelling agency. At the age of 18, she began to conquer the world’s catwalks. This might not have happened if she hadn’t been confident in her uniqueness.
Last year, the model decided to participate in the Miss England contest. She made it to the finals, but another girl won. Jessica didn’t give up and won this year.
Now she is considered the first red-haired winner. This has never happened before, even though beauty contests of this scale began to be held 94 years ago.
From personal experience, Jessica understands how difficult life can be for people with red hair. They are often victims of bullying, especially during childhood. The model hopes that her example will inspire many children who are currently experiencing similar situations.
Jessica even noticed that redheads are rarely shown in films and on television. She would like to see more redheaded activists.
Well, she has made a global breakthrough in the modelling industry, so the number of redheaded models is likely to increase rapidly.
She really wanted to win to inspire other people not to give up. She feels very sorry for schoolchildren who are bullied because of their hair colour. Jessica wants them to understand that being a redhead is a superpower, not a flaw.
