Who’s ready for #rockyfest2024 ?!!? Rocky Balboa isn’t just a movie character; he’s a legend, especially in Philly. His story symbolizes perseverance and the belief that hard work can overcome even the toughest odd; a narrative we Philadelphians have come to know very well. Excited to be invited to a few #rockyfest2024 events this week! Follow @phlvisitorcenter for more details and tickets ! #rocky #philly #missphiladelphia #rockyfest #tyneciawilson #visitphl #visitphilly #philadelphia #discoverphilly #explorephilly

It was an honor to speak in 4 classrooms last week at my very own Alma Mater! Being back in the walls of my Dear old Central High School was a reminder of how important it is participate in career days as a young professional. I remember my first career day as a presenter, it was virtually during COVID, and the students were so excited to hear about something so tangible like going to Grad School or choosing a major. This year, I shared how Central prepared me for my role today as the Program Coordinator for Leadership and Service at Temple University, my role and duties has a Miss America Organization Titleholder, and of course now branching into the Content Creation space. There was a point where we had a very interesting and rather in depth conversation about how I stopped eating meat but that’s a story for another post, haha. Thank you to the Associated Alumni of the Central High School of Philadelphia for having me! #careerday #alum #centralhighschool #275 #youngalum #missphiladelphia #tyneciawilson #dearhighdearcentralhigh #rocktheredandgols

Celebrating with @campusphilly for 20 years of proving why Philadelphia is one of the greatest places to study and stay ❤️ because it is! I have the opportunity to work with Campus Philly across several projects from Leadership Conferences to fun Discover Philly events. At the core of Campus Philly, they strive to make Philly feel like Home; and as Miss Philadelphia 2024, I couldn’t think of a better organization to be working with. Thank you @campusphilly for connecting students to fun and professional development opportunities! Keep up the amazing work. #philadelphia #cityofphilly #cityofbrotherlylove #tyneciawilson #campusphilly #phillyishome #college #campus #study #student #comcast

I am full of gratitude this Thanksgiving Day. Today is my 10 month anniversary as Miss Philadelphia 2024 and I am so thankful for all of the experiences, the memories, the people and the opportunities I have been blessed to have and meet. I count my blessings everyday, both big and small. The blessing to see another day, to put a smile on someone’s face, to walk closer to the goals God has set before me. And of course the blessing of becoming Miss Philadelphia… one of my greatest blessings yet ❤️👑 ( and what a blessing to adorn this custom made legacy crown from @lpriorijewelry ) #HappyThanksgiving2024 #missphiladelphia2024

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! ❤️🐝

Happy PA Day! 🇺🇸🍎 Yesterday, I celebrated PA Day with America 250 and Helping Harvest. ✨ It was an honor to meet Representative Cepeda-Freytiz and Secretary of Agriculture Redding, and it was lovely to see Senator Schwank again! I was so fortunate to have the opportunity to give back to my community. Thank you to Helping Harvest for a great day! 🫶🏻 And always remember to BEE Inspiring.
