Pageant Life

Eboni began competing in beauty pageants as a young girl. 

"I grew up poor and pageants were a rich girl sport, so my mother was not down with them in the beginning," she wrote in an Instagram caption. "But eventually she became convinced that pageants were another way to broaden my horizons and enhance my confidence, sportsmanship, and the all-important 'stage presence' (all amazing tools for success)."

In 2009 she was the first runner-up for Miss North Carolina USA and has even judged the Miss SC USA pageant. 

"To this day, I credit my pageant experience with helping shape my professional trajectory," she's said.
