Publisher's Synopsis
People from all over the world took to Twitter to criticize and reject Rachael Malonson after she was crowned the 2017 Miss Black University of Texas because they didn't feel her biracial makeup was "Black Enough" for the title. Her story of rejection began to spread virally throughout the internet and eventually provided a platform for her to stand up for others who have been criticized, rejected or were simply told they were not "enough.". The rejection she experienced from the pageant led to a deeper rooting of her identity in Jesus Christ.. In Crowned, Rachael opens up about her personal struggles with comparison, people pleasing, singleness and the battle to fully surrender to the will of God. She takes us on a symbolic journey as she uses the different stages of a pageant to help readers stop striving to please the world and start finding joy, hope, peace and confidence in Christ alone.
