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.”

BSA- Nat'l meeting June 2012

I had the wonderful opportunity to hear "Pip" from the "The Voice"  sing our National Anthem, and also get a moment with him. I'm so proud at the fact that he is an Eagle scout and a great role model for our youth. A true example of dreams coming true. Our family just loved him on the show and can't wait for the album. Thanks "Pip"! I was also able to see Mike Rowe from "Dirty Jobs" show. He is also an Eagle scout and a Fabulous speaker.
