XCEPTIONAL Media has announced the launch of the Miss BLACKNIFICIENT Teen Pageant (BTP), an inspiring new initiative dedicated to celebrating natural beauty, promoting self-confidence, and equipping young girls with the skills to become future leaders.
Scheduled to take place on July 26, 2025, the pageant is more than a competition—it is a transformative movement advocating for self-acceptance and challenging harmful beauty standards, including the widespread issue of skin bleaching.
Coinciding with International Women’s Day, the launch of Miss BLACKNIFICIENT Teen Pageant sets the stage for a groundbreaking platform designed to empower teenage girls through mentorship, education, and leadership development. The initiative aims to redefine conventional beauty standards by instilling confidence in young girls and fostering a culture of self-worth and excellence.
Beyond the glamour of the competition, BTP incorporates a two-day interactive workshop preceding the main event, focusing on critical areas such as self-esteem, career guidance, mental health awareness, nutrition, and personal development. These workshops will ensure that every participant gains valuable knowledge and skills that extend beyond the pageant, enabling them to become role models in their communities.
“Miss BLACKNIFICIENT Teen is about more than just a crown. It is about creating a lasting impact. We want young girls to embrace their natural beauty, reject harmful beauty practices, and step into their full potential with confidence and purpose,” said Shola Adebuga, Chief Empowerment Officer of XCEPTIONAL Media.
To bring this vision to life, Miss BLACKNIFICIENT Teen Pageant is open to strategic partnerships with organisations and brands that share its mission of promoting self-confidence, mentorship, and cultural pride. Opportunities exist for collaboration in areas such as workshop sponsorships, mentorship programmes, community outreach, and event logistics. By supporting this initiative, partners will play an essential role in shaping the future of young girls across Nigeria and beyond.
Miss BLACKNIFICIENT Teen Pageant invites organisations, media houses, non-profits, and corporate sponsors to join this movement in championing natural beauty and empowering the next generation of confident, self-assured young women.
