Who is Denise Williams?
Just by looking at her, you see a 37 year old African American woman who's on the heavy side, with a patch of gray hair on her head.
What you don't know is that this over 400 pound woman from Phoenix, Arizona is the newly crowned Ideal Ms. Angelic Queen of America 2017-18 and is also on her second reign as Ms. Beautiful International Model.
She's held over 35 pageant titles (All but one being from online pageants) over the last 16 years. Her favorite titles she has represented include Miss American Rose National Duchess, Ms. American Majesty 2010, Today's American Woman Curvy Ms. Ambassador 2013 and 2 reigns as an America's Angelic Beauty titleholder.
Her main platforms include Mental Health Awareness and Anti-Bullying. Denise has used her titles to volunteer and raise money for multiple charities, including the PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) Foundation, the Fairy Godmothers, NAMI, Relay For Life, National Kidney Foundation of Arizona, Make-a-Wish, American Diabetes Association, and Brain Injury Association of Arizona.
Denise was born in Queens, New York on January 11, 1980 to a crack addicted mother. She was soon taken in by a foster family who would eventually adopt her at the age of 3. Around that time, she was first diagnosed as autistic. She moved to Phoenix with her parents and older sister at the age of 10. It was when she was in 6th grade that she first encountered being bullied. The torment lasted through 8th grade, her being the target of peers and teachers alike.
At the end of her freshman year at Moon Valley High School, Denise was diagnosed as schizophrenic. During the second half of her sophomore year, she was transferred to an alternative school, Accommodation School. Working hard, Denise managed to graduate a year early and go straight to Glendale Community College where she spent the next 13 years learning various subjects and being a member of many clubs. Her resume includes several stints as President of the Exceptional Students Club, Treasurer of Drama Club, Secretary of Black Student Union and Secretary of MeCHa.
When she's not representing her titles, Denise can be found writing her various fanfiction and poetry, reading, watching WWE, Food Network/Cooking Channel and Bravo, cooking, singing karaoke, playing piano and just chillaxing.
