After a traumatic divorce, Tiffany Kory decided to compete in beauty pageants. She was crowned the first-ever “Ms. Illinois International 2020” representing a new category for women who are divorced, widowed or single mothers.
She then entered more competitions and secured additional titles such as “Ms. Illinois World International 2021,” “Ms. World America Celebrity” and “Ms. USA Universe Lady.” Kory represents to women that whatever titles they have earned in their lives, Miss, Mrs. or Ms., to her they are all queens and they are never alone.
This is the message in her new book and Amazon Best Seller “Ms.: No Matter the Title, Rise from Trauma To Triumph and Learn to Love Yourself.” Kory, 41, a salon owner and beauty consultant with over 20 years of experience, shares her personal story about growing up in Georgia, experiencing the first half of her life, to now living as a single mother alone in Illinois, raising her 9-year-old son and learning the lessons she endured.
“I wrote this book as a method of healing during my most difficult time—trying to learn how to love myself alone,” she explained. “I knew that if I could do it, I could help others too. I wrote this book for any woman, title and age in mind; however, I have also helped men that have read my book after a divorce or in the process of one. I don’t want women to make the mistakes I made from a Miss to a Mrs. to a Ms. I also don’t want anyone facing divorce to ever feel like they can’t do anything they want alone after divorce. And doing so, I realized that my pain is my purpose to help others in life.”
Kory explores other topics such as co-parenting, standing up to domestic violence, developing a successful career, living an authentic and independent life, and finding faith in God.
“I have doubts and fears just like everyone else and I have to remind myself often that God put a crown on my head and I matter,” she said. “I often ponder on the Maya Angelou quote: ‘You alone are enough.’ I realized that it’s because no matter what, you are never alone. God sends you angels throughout your life to help and guide you. You also always have YOU and you are your best friend, supporter and defense for your entire life.”
Kory is currently developing her own cosmetic line, writing her next book and preparing to compete for Ms. Universe or Ms. World International in August 2022. Being a first-time author, she knows that readers are resonating to her positive message.
“I recently had a bad day and one of my readers told me to ‘read your own book again!’” she said. “I will continue to use my blessings to motivate and help others, especially my son who will know that he can also be anything he wants to be at any point of his life. He must learn to always love himself and help others. You can change your path anytime in life, just like you can change the color of your hair!”
“Ms.: No Matter the Title, Rise from Trauma To Triumph and Learn to Love Yourself” is available through Amazon.
