Mature Women Evolving (Part 2)

Published: April 6, 2021, 6:16 p.m.

Welcome back to part 2 of our interview with Kenyonn Demps the founder and President of A Seasoned Affair, the home of the Ms Senior Jacksonville pageant, and the Ms Senior Diva pageant.  

I met Kenyonn while working in Jacksonville with the Love A Senior Day in 2019, the story she shared with me then about her “WHY” for doing these pageants, led me right back to her for this podcast so I can share it with all of you! You will be impressed and possibly even inspired to look at the pageant world in a new light, especially a pageants for mature women! I know I did.  

It all began around March 2008 when Jacksonville’s Mayor Peyton noted that his goal was for “Jacksonville to become the most senior friendly city in the State of Florida”.  That led Kenyonn to think there was no better way to acknowledge our seniors than for Ms. Senior Jacksonville to proudly represent her peers and our beautiful city and to participate in the Ms. Senior Florida pageant. So with a lot of hard work and a huge vision, she did it!  

Kenyonn Demps works full time as a nursing home Executive Director, she is a former radio host of Senior Chat with Kenyonn, a wife, mother, and a great friend to many. She strives to enrich the lives of seniors through education, empowerment and, pageantry.

The 2021 pageant will be held on July 24, 2021 at the University of Florida’s University Center at 2 PM. Tickets will go on sale in June and are not sold at the door, so get yours early at aseasonedaffair.com and click on tickets! 

Interested in becoming a sponsor of the pageant? It is welcomed, appreciated, and will speak volumes when seniors, their families, and our community witness the positive outcomes of pageantry for senior women and their families and friends. Just imagine the rewards, the joyful tears, the big smiles, and the difference when our senior women embrace new friendships and regain their confidence!
