Post Pageant Reflection & Results

This thank you post is going to be long!

Top 3!!!! I'm still in disbelief.

This journey has been life changing, and I am so thankful God had THIS in His plan for me. As someone who has always struggled with self-doubt and anxiety, it can be extremely difficult to push myself beyond my comfort zone. I've missed out on opportunities because it felt impossible to win against those irrational fears and doubts. Over this journey, I have conquered many moments of fear and quieted that voice of self-doubt! Even when my heart was racing and that voice was saying I wasn't good enough, I pushed through. I have taken a major step forward, and I am proud.

I look forward to continuing my journey as Mrs. Fayetteville America. I have some exciting things coming up very soon! I have big goals for EmpowerED Youth and Community, and I'm just getting started.

Thank you to my sponsors @aoda.fayetteville @skin.specialists.fayetteville @thedripbarfayetteville @dreamchaser.creation ,you have each been integral to my growth and journey.

Thank you @jillianmariebeauty16 and @marlana.semenza.photo for helping me capture who I am. I loved working with both of you and can't wait to do it again!

@crownedwpurpose I am so honored to know you! You are truly a gem. I would not have been stage ready and confident without your encouragement, wise words, and knowledge. Everything finally clicked, and I really started feeling like a true queen. Thank you, thank you, thank you

My friends and family... you have shown me so much love and support. I could not have done any of this without you all. When I felt like I couldn't do it, you reminded me that I have a greater purpose, I am worthy, and I am capable. I have learned so much from each of you, and the gratitude I have can never fully be expressed in words.

And of course, thank you to Wendy and Fred Galle @ncscamericapageants for allowing me the space and stage to shine. It's a feeling like no other!

My dream is to continue to inspire others the same way I have been inspired by the women I have had the pleasure of meeting.

This is just the beginning
