Modern Miss Ohio AmeriFest

Today was a very exciting day as my sister Kilee graduated from Capital University with a bachelor’s in Art Therapy.

Today my mom and I went to a Mother Daughter Tea in my hometown. The food was delicious and I am not a Tea drinker but I did try Peach Tea and it wasn’t bad.

Congratulations to my best friend and successor, Bryanna! I love you loads ! Have a fantastic year!

Wow, what a year! I can't believe it's already been a year since I was crowned! All of these a amazing memories, that will last a life time. I want to say some thanks.
Thank you to my Mom, Nana, Dad, Brother, Aunt, Cousin, my sister queens, Mrs. Carrie, and to my angel watching above. I went through some hard times with year but was able to make the most of it. I learn to put my mental heath and wellbeing first. I couldn't be more grateful to all the lessons I learned. To my successor make sure to put you mental health first. Its extremely important to care for yourself in all the ways, don't ever hate your body or personality. You will shine no matter what! Don't take this time for granted because before you know it you'll be where I am, saying goodbye to something you'll be forever grateful for. Signing off for the last time as your 2025 Modern Miss Ohio AmeriFest, Emma Wasem XoXo!

I'm so thankful for the experience I had this past year!

The Miss Ohio Festivals Pageant / AmeriFest Pageant and Miss Great Lakes Festival Pageants / AmeriFest Pageants royalty and staff would like to wish Emma the happiest of birthdays! Have the most incredible day!
