Meet Julie Hawkins- Exquisite Ms Global United 2020 of Manchester, UK

I am a country girl born and bread and i love the out outdoors. I enjoy walks with my pugs in the woods and fields I am a real animal lover and dogs are definitely favourite! I love how loyal and caring they are and my pugs are everything to me. Most of my past fundraising has been for my local pug rescue and dog shelter and I continue to collect food and blanket donations for them throughout the year and make regular drops to the shelters.

When I discovered the Global United pageant and saw their community service and charity values I knew right away that this was the system for me and was eagerly planning a trip over to the States to compete in Nationals. Unfortunately due to covid the live pageant was cancelled so I entered the online pageant and was absolutely thrilled to win! I still cannot believe I have become part of this amazing Global United family, it has honestly been the most incredible adventure, and I cannot wait to continue my reign as Ms Exquisite Global United and to continue my fundraising for both cancer and animal charities.

I know Wendy won't be surprised to see a photo of me and Hanson! I have loved this band and have been a fan club member since 1997! I have travelled all over the world to see them perform and as a result I have friends in many countries who I have met at concerts, I have been lucky enough to meet the band several times and they are the most genuine and down to earth people! Before every concert they do something called 'The Walk' where themselves and the fans all walk a mile barefoot to raise money to support children living with AIDS in Africa. I have taken part in several 'Walks' and continue to support the band and play their songs to anyone who will listen!

We are excited to see what else Julie will share during her time as an Exquisite titleholder! Take a look at her other events and appearances on her facebook HERE.
