✨ One year ago, I stood on this stage wearing this dress… but I was not the same woman I am today. ✨
Competing in changed me in ways I never knew I needed.
It broke me open, rebuilt me, strengthened me, and reminded me of the woman I was always meant to become.
This journey taught me grace in the face of hardship, courage when my voice trembled, confidence when I doubted myself, and an unshakeable belief in my purpose.
It shaped my heart, my mindset, my resilience, and my vision for the life I want to build.
Tonight, as a new group of phenomenal women step into their own power on the stage, I’m reminded of how deeply this platform impacted me.
It wasn’t just a pageant — it was a catalyst, a sisterhood, an awakening, and a chapter of growth I will forever cherish.
To the woman I was then: thank you for being brave enough to step onto that stage.
To the woman I am now: thank you for surviving, fighting, growing, and rising.
And to the Queen who will be crowned tonight: may this journey shape you as beautifully as it shaped me.
👑✨
Forever grateful. Forever transformed. Forever sisterhood.
