IJM International Jr. Teen

For the first time, I’m Emma Mayfield, your 2023/2024 @internationaljuniormiss Jr Teen! I’ve been working towards this goal tirelessly for 5 years, so this is me telling you to never give up on your dreams. They are attainable and always always in reach. You can do anything you put your mind to. 12 year old Emma competing at @internationaljuniormiss in 2019 for the first time would never have imagined this was possible. 3 years of being in the top 5 and I’ve finally made it. I have sooo many people to thank, but here’s a few! First of all, thank you to everyone who believed in me and supported me. Thank you for all the best wishes and luck all year, and all week leading up to finals. There’s always a plan, God always has one for everyone. Thank you to @iam_kathleen_mayes @iamnamsteve for allowing girls every year to come to @iam_thepageantpowerhouse and compete! I’m so excited to grow and expand IJM on its own with y’all these next 13 months! Finally thank you to my mom @jenald0805 and my family for allowing me to be your financial drain LOL and watching me from afar every year. You’re my number 1. Let’s get this year started! I cant wait to grow with y’all and be the best titleholder I can be!

It’s almost… Summer Tour tiiiimeee!! ✨👸🏻 This summer I have the opportunity to go to many places, but one I’m most excited for is the @nationalamericanmiss Summer Tour! I get to go to two state pageants (some states are combined!) and get to see my @iam_thepageantpowerhouse sisters! Let me know if I’ll see any of y’all this summer! I also am blessed to get to go to NAM nationals this fall! So excited to see who will join the NAMily and @iam_thepageantpowerhouse sisterhood for the last month of my reign as IJM Jr. Teen!

@nationalamericanmiss Iowa/Kansas/Missouri/Nebraska/North Dakota/South Dakota is a wrap! Thank you @nationalamericanmiss and @iam_breanneewing for having me this weekend! Each contestant shined so bright and have such incredible futures ahead of them! To quote NAM, “these are the future doctors, teachers, presidents of the united states, leaders, and difference makers of our world! They are National American Miss.” Thank you @iam_thepageantpowerhouse for creating such incredible systems for young girls of our generation to grow, learn, and be unequivocally themselves.

Bedtime isn’t the same without my favourite girls… In Belize, we danced till we dropped! PJs: @theblingybobbin 🎧 by @lizzobeeating (my fav ❤️) @internationaljuniormiss

Thank you @nationalamericanmiss for having me this weekend and to help make some memories! ✨👑💤 Can we talk about how AMAZING our very own @ijminternationalpreteen ’s mom is for making us IJM queens our very own customized satin sleep sets?

Sponsor shoutout to @theblingybobbin for gifting us the cutest IJM PJ’s! 💙 Our last night in Belize ended in the most perfect way with a PJ party where my sisters and I sang our hearts out and danced the night away. God truly has blessed me with the most amazing girls and I couldn’t be more honored to be a big sister to them this year. Thank you @internationaljuniormiss for giving me my forever family ❤️ #crownofopportunities

Last night spent in Belize was a hit! We spent our last moments together the right way—the fun way! We karaoke’d the night away with our wonderful and comfiest pjs from @theblingybobbin ! Thank you for our new favorite comfy wear!
