One month as your National American Miss Alabama 2024.🥹😭👑✨
I haven’t talked much about the finale and it truly was such a special moment. I had peace all weekend. There was no pressure for me to win because I knew I had done my best. I shared everything I wanted to in interviews. I felt beautiful during gown. I communicated exactly what I wanted to in introduction. My performance wasn’t perfect (remember there’s no such thing as perfect!!) but it was one I was so proud of everything I did.
I blacked out after top 10. I had never placed before at a NAM state pageant. All the emotions because I knew no matter what happened I was better than my last performance. Somewhere between Top 10 and Top 5 and outgoing queen had “A Moment like This” as her farewell song and it hit me. I truly had waited a lifetime for this moment.
I looked over at the Top 10 to see such a beautiful and diverse group. No matter what I was proud to be apart of such an inclusive Top 10 group. I was the first announced for Top 5 and it was then God told me it was my time.
4ru was called then 3ru and 2ru then 1ru. The moment I realized that they hadn’t called me yet was the greatest of my life. I’ve said it before but I’ve daydreamed and brought tears to my eyes many times thinking of this moment but somehow it was even better than I imagined. All the times others doubted me and that I could do this. All the times I doubted myself if I’m honest.
So that is the story of one of the most dramatic and emotional crowning moments ever 🥹 It simply was the greatest moment of my life. There’s no better feeling than achieving your dream… especially 8 years after it became yours. And as the song says I still can’t believe this is happening to me but I couldn’t be more grateful that it is.
So much more love to share with you my Sweet Home Alabama ❣️
