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.”

Thank you Dateline NBC (April 2)
Thank You Dateline NBC for showing the real truth behind the Phoebe Prince case 2 yrs ago on bullying. I strongly believe that ALL our administration, teachers, guidance, parents and students need to be better educated on bullying/ cyber bullying. We need to stand together as communities to make a difference and not lose anymore children to this epidemic. God Bless!
