Hello. My name is Angela Pollard and I am honored to be representing the Fort Worth area as Mrs. Fort Worth International 2012. The Mrs. International Pageant system celebrates a woman’s beauty, energy, commitment to marriage and family, and a desire to challenge herself. As Mrs.Fort Worth International I strive to embody all of these characteristics and to exemplify the essence of each attribute in my duties.

My platform and mission statement is Don’t Put It Off – Protect and Prevent while partnering with the American Cancer Society as an advocate for awareness of the many tools that are available to individuals which will empower them to make sound choices and decisions lowering the risk of Cancer.
