AHA- Richmond walk - volunteering with my sister queens - Pre-Teen Miss VA Ann- Garland, Jr. Teen Miss VA Ashley, Miss Virginia International Kristyn Admire.
Miss Virginia International and I speaking to a survivor of a heart attack (triple by pass).
The picture above is a team participating in the walk.
All the queens along with my daughters dancing away with the D.J. from the event (below).
We had a blast. This was our first official appearance after we won our titles in October.
Getting my finger pricked to be tested to see if I'm healthy- which I passed with flying colors :)
My journey began on October 8, 2011 when I was given the job as Mrs. Virginia International 2012. What a journey it has been. The many opportunities which have allowed me to speak about my platform Take a Stand B.R.A.V.E. (Be yourself, Resist the bullying, Achieve your best, Value your future, Encourage others) along with being the national spokesperson for SAVE (Students Against Violence Everywhere). I have seen a difference among our youth and schools after I visit. I hear how they have started programs against bullying/cyber bullying, mentor programs, and or bullying task force. I truly see that my family and our efforts are making a difference in the lives of our youth and that is the destination for my journey.
“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life, but define yourself.”
