2015 USA Earth Grand Pageant

Gree(n)tings everyone!!!

I hope you and yours are doing well. I am doing well, just recuperating from nationals last week. If you follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, then you know how it all went through my social media updates. I had an amazing time, learned a lot from the weekend, and truly an awesome once in a lifetime experience. I represented myself and Maryland with pride and purpose, and thankful to the Almighty for everything. I won Miss Beauties for a Cause along with a gold medal for my BFAC initiative, and received 2nd Runner Up for Miss Grand USA 2015.

Throughout the weekend, I got to meet so many amazing people and was glad to have crossed paths with them. From this, I have gained valuable friendships from some of the women and now a place to stay when I visit their states. The national director, staff, and volunteers of the U.S. Earth Grand pageant did their best to give all the delegates a memorable experience and I am humbled to have been part of Class of 2015. The activities and events were awesome, and enjoyed being in the West Coast for the first time. Congratulations to the women who were crowned, as well as all the delegates nationwide. Wishing them all the best in their future endeavors.

I am so grateful for all the prayers and love received throughout my time there, and thankful for my amazing family, friends, and sponsors. My journey would have been much tougher if I didn't have all of you. I believe in myself, and I'm grateful that you also believe in me. I will continue promoting my initiative, "Bridging The Gap: Miners and Environmentalists Must Work Together for Mother Earth!" The journey is not over for me, so stay tuned!
