Back from the most unforgettable week in Jackson, Tennessee for nationals… and somehow went straight to Disney the very next day !!
Running around the parks, castle views, eating my favorite sweet treats, and creating the most magical memories made it the PERFECT way to celebrate everything.
Finally getting back into the swing of things, so here are some fun Disney highlights before it’s back to work 💌🎀🐭

Everything I do comes back to this.
This book is not just something I wrote. It is the heart of everything I stand for. It carries a message that is deeply personal to me and one that so many children desperately need to hear.
Strong Without, Strong Within was written for the children who grow up with questions no child should have to ask. The ones who feel the weight of circumstances they never chose. The ones who quietly wonder if something about their story makes them less.
This is why I do what I do.
Every time I see a child holding this book, I am reminded that this work is bigger than me. Bigger than a stage. Bigger than a title. These children are the reason I keep going. They are the reason I speak about this message. They are the reason I will continue showing up, over and over again, no matter how difficult the journey becomes.
Because if even one child closes this book and feels a little less alone… then every step of this has been worth it.
As I arrive to Tennessee to compete for Miss Teen Volunteer America, I carry this mission with me. I’m not just going for myself. I’m going for the children this book was written for, and for every child who still needs to hear that they are strong, worthy, and never alone.
And if I have the honor of winning, my promise is simple: I will take this mission as far as I possibly can and bring this message to children across this country.
For them. Always.
Tennessee, let’s do this.
