An Edinburgh woman has spoken of the empowering experience of competing in this year's Miss Universe Great Britain.
Cassy Tang, 27, from Corstorphine, says that competing has helped her to battle her own mental health struggles and difficulties with racism. It had always been a dream of Cassy’s to compete in a pageant and she says that she hopes that her role in the competition can inspire others to follow the same path.
The designer and nail artist professional says that a major reason for her competing was to show that race and height do not matter when determining beauty. During her role in the competition she championed charities such as A-Sisterhood - an organisation that looks to empower and protect women worldwide - and SOHTIS - Survivors of Human Trafficking in Scotland - who she still supports today.
