The
@thegbasofficial this past weekend was the highlight of my career.
My dream had always been to compete and then work for the Miss USA organization for as long I can remember.
It was an honor to be in rooms and sit at tables with distinguished men and women who truly care about this industry, its future, and most importantly, the girls and women who compete for them.
The realization that I had the honor to sit at these tables this year made me tear up on more than one occasion. I say this from the bottom of my heart—I am so incredibly grateful that I was invited to listen, learn, and be encouraged to create a safe space for all women to have a seat at the table. Empowering women to use their voice and platforms to make a difference in the world is the key to creating continued success in the pageant industry globally.
Thank you so much
@maureenmfrancisco and David for giving the whole industry a place to grow and learn as a leader in the world of pageantry (and beyond).
