Dr. Tamara Glover: A New Title and a New Mission
LITTLE ROCK, AR (KATV) — Dr. Tamara Glover has recently achieved an exciting milestone in her life as she adds a prestigious title to her name: Mrs. USA International Global. This accolade comes on the heels of her earlier title of Mrs. Arkansas 2025, marking her ascent not just in the pageantry world, but also in her mission to advocate for maternal mental health.
A Triumph in New Orleans
The crowning of Dr. Glover took place at a dazzling pageant held in New Orleans, where she showcased her exceptional talents and unwavering confidence. Her victory wasn’t a mere fluke; she excelled in various categories, including talent, evening gown, and confidence. “I’m just so excited to have this opportunity,” Glover enthusiastically remarked, reflecting on her accomplishment. Notably, she scored the highest out of all the contestants, earning her the distinction of “queen of queens” and becoming the face of the USA World Organization.
A Tribute to Fellow Contestants
Amidst her triumph, Dr. Glover took a moment to recognize her fellow contestants. “I competed against some incredible women. It was such an honor to share the stage with them,” she noted. This spirit of camaraderie extends beyond competition, highlighting the supportive environment that often characterizes pageantry. The experience of competing together fostered a bond that goes beyond mere titles.
Giving Back to the Community
The pageant also emphasized the importance of community service, and Glover was not one to shy away from giving back. Alongside her fellow contestants, she contributed over 1,000 toiletry items to the Family Justice Center in New Orleans. This act of kindness reflects her commitment to social responsibility, which is a core component of her journey in the pageant world.
Focusing on Maternal Mental Health
One of the central pillars of Glover’s platform is maternal mental health. “One out of seven women are faced with some type of maternal mental health challenges,” she explained. With statistics revealing that one in four women can experience postpartum depression, Glover emphasizes the importance of understanding and addressing these issues. Her advocacy aligns with her personal mission to raise awareness and provide support for women who may be grappling with these often-overlooked challenges.
Future Aspirations
Looking toward the horizon, Dr. Glover is set to represent the United States in Malaysia next year. Her excitement about this opportunity is palpable, and she aptly quoted Steve Harvey: “Your dreams should scare you.” Having competed since her twenties, she encourages others to pursue their aspirations without hesitation. “Keep the faith and keep going,” she urges, underscoring the value of resilience in the pursuit of one’s dreams.
A Moment of Gratitude
Reflecting on her crowning moment, Dr. Glover conveys deep gratitude and reverence. “Honestly, the only thing I could do was lift my hands and praise and call on the Lord. I was like, God, we did it,” she expressed, emphasizing the spiritual journey this experience has been for her. It’s a testimony to her hard work, dedication, and the profound support she has received along the way.
Inspiring Authenticity
More than just a titleholder, Dr. Tamara Glover aims to inspire women everywhere to embrace their true selves. She believes that when individuals are authentic, they illuminate the world around them. “When you’re able to be true to yourself, you show up as the world as a light,” she said, encapsulating her vision of empowerment and authenticity.
Through her journey, Glover continues to be a beacon of hope and inspiration, championing causes that are close to her heart while lifting others as she climbs.
