Halito! My name is Diamond Nicole Henry. I am 19 years old. I am the 2024-25 District 3 Senior Miss Choctaw Princess. My Councilman is Mr. Eddie Bohanan. I am Choctaw/ Mississippi Choctaw. Proudly representing my Choctaw descent.
My mom is Teresa Ann Watson and I have one brother Lucas Clay Henry.
My hobbies include crocheting, beading, watching TikTok, and Facebook reels to learn new projects to attemp, and listening to K-pop.
I enjoy attending church at Smithville Assembly, and any activities we have, attending church occasionally with my Uncle aka Papa, and being with family in general, making memories. I am currently on the Team Tvshka Homma Ohoyos Stickball Team.
I currently started my Freshman year at CASC. My major in Psychology/Behavioral Science.
I chose this as major for various reasons. Since 2005, my family and I have went through many obstacles and still facing some to this day. My mom and brother having an accident, the tragic death of my Moshe, my “grandpa’s” passing, my grandma-great getting sick, and then my Pamaw getting news of pancreatic cancer. Her last month here, I had to be Big sister and take care of my brother, while mom went to spend a month with her. My Pamaw was sent home on hospice. A week later my grandma-great passed and almost a week later my Pamaw passed. I just want to help those that don’t have help or can’t afford help.
My Pamaw was my everything. She helped my mom raise my brother and I. She done what she could when she could. I know she saw all the help we got, with the kinds words. I just want to be that person.
My dress is very special to me because its in remembrance of my Pamaw. The purple is for pancreatic cancer awareness. My jewelry was handbeaded by Pamaw’s long time friend Ms. Clara Taylor.
I do still have my downfall and depressed moments, especially being away from mom and Duk. When those times come, I think about Pamaw and think, this is what she wanted, Me, to graduate from high school, might I say, on the A and B Honor Roll and go to college and be successful! When I think about that, I get up and say thanks Pamaw I needed that, this is for you Pamaw! By God grace I will make it happen. Yakoke’
