The MIBQ pageant provides a platform to married women to make a small difference in the world. This platform hopes to empower women and enrich opportunities for personal growth. It also inspires women of diverse backgrounds and cultures to come together nationally and internationally, support lifelong commitment to uplifting those in need and develop a sense of global responsibility. MIBQ celebrates and admires the accomplishments and achievements of a wife, a mother, a complete woman with true beauty and intelligence.
MIBQ has given a platform to married Indian women so that they can showcase their talents and pursue their dreams of winning a beauty pageant. MIBQ promotes inner beauty, character development, leadership, on-going education, broad intellectual interests, artistic talents, healthy lifestyles, social minded, civic involvement, and cultural awareness. While Traditional beauty pageants value women solely by how well they fit into conventional beauty standards, MIBQ is unique, innovative, and showcases what true beauty is. The pageant celebrates the Indian mothers and wives who juggle countless roles and responsibilities while also pursuing their passions and very often successful professions.
