A Dream Come True 

Royalty USA was born from a dream that has been years in the making through accomplishments as well as obstacles.   Founded and created by Michelle Maney, a leader in the pageant community as a seasoned pageant director with 25 years of experience in the industry and an accomplished business professional. 

Michelle believes that pageantry is an investment in the future, not only through scholarship opportunities but by providing life skills that play a critical role in the future of competitors.   Interview skills, social skills, public speaking and confidence are just a few of the accomplishments that come through being involved in pageantry. 

Michelle attributes some of her closest friendships and most cherished memories to pageantry and is a believer in the sisterhood and being a mentor by creating memories and bonding opportunities for all.   

The Royalty USA National Pageant is based out of the Carolinas where the national pageant will be held each year.   Michelle resides in the Asheville, North Carolina area with her husband and family which includes their 5 children and growing number of grandchildren.   She works as a Sr. Benefit Systems Consultant for one of the worlds leading Human Capital Management companies. 

Michelle is forever grateful to her Lord and Savior who has truly blessed her by making this dream a reality and allowing her to do what she loves by investing in the lives of these girls and women.   She is thankful to those who have continued to support her with their time and other influences throughout the years.   Without God and the love and support of each of those individuals and friends the Royalty USA National Pageant would still be just a dream!
