Attend a Sneaker Ball ✅ ( & HOST!) I received this appearance request back in August and I was so excited for it! After doing research on @mtdistinction , an organization “empowering tomorrow’s leader, one girl at a time” I knew it would be an appearance to remember! I had so much fun hosting this event. From being able to introduce the night’s keynote speaker @tarhonda_thomas , to hosting an impromptu dance battle to break a tie, and making Tik Toks with the young girls of the organization. We raised money, line danced, and made an impact all in one! Sounds like a success to me. Sending thanks and appreciation to @mtdistinction , @thereal_ingram and Miss Kim for having me as the host ! #missphiladelphia #host #makethedistinction #event #sneakerball #fundraiser
Today we honor our Veterans for their commitment, their dedication and their sacrifice to our country. John 15:13 says “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” Today we can also remember our fallen troops, we remember those who lost loved ones to war, and remember those that continue to make sacrifices for our nation.

She’s back! ✨ On July 6th, 2024, I deleted all of my social media. I had no Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and more for over three months. I am fortunate enough to live in a generation where the importance of mental health is widely recognized, especially in the pageant community. Over the course of 6 months as Miss Philadelphia’s Teen, I made it my mission to do as much as possible. And I’m proud to say that I made over 50 appearances in just a little over 180 days. While I loved doing as much as possible, it left me exhausted. Simultaneously, I was expected to keep up my 4.0 gpa, continue to develop my 501(c)(3), theatre productions, a social media presence, working out five times a week, and various clubs at school. After the Miss Pennsylvania’s Teen competition held in June 2024, I hit a wall. My body felt heavy. I needed a break. I needed time to regather my thoughts. I already know that this is going to be a difficult year academically. I’m taking multiple AP and dual enrollment classes, prepping for the SAT, and working on college applications. I turned my phone off and stopped replying to everything. In that time, I started reading more, being outside for longer periods of time, got into the habit of running and doing yoga, and spent time with the people I loved most: my friends and family. Distance makes the heart grow fonder; while I had a fantastic summer, I missed my job. I missed going on appearances, I missed making an impact on my community, I missed making goofy reels with my sister queens, and I missed Miss America as a whole. I never doubted for a second that Miss America wasn’t the place for me: Pageantry has given me every opportunity to succeed. Both personally and professionally. It has made me a better communicator, more confident, and more resilient. Not to mention, being able to fund 20+ dual enrollment credits thus far. Now, I’m ready to move forward. I’m excited to return back to what I love doing. I want to paint pageantry in a positive light, but I also want to be open about my mental health. Here’s to new, healthy era of pageantry. 🤍 And always remember to BEE Inspiring. Love Em! ❤️🐝
