Seeing Maya fulfill a dream in the midst of one of her greatest moments of sadness was another reminder that we can still do great things with a broken heart. She puts so much love, joy, and color into this world. It has been an honor to work with you throughout your years working for the title of Miss Michigan, Maya! You have by far been one of my most favorite people to see achieve your dream. Thank you for letting us photograph this stunning custom piece you painted for your farewell — YOU are the art 💛💙🧡❤️
Your new Miss Indiana Teen USA is…KINLEY SHOEMAKER!! Have loved this girl from the moment I set eyes on her and can’t wait to watch her rock it as @missinteenusa 💗
It’s your birthday, and it’s also been exactly one month since you left this earth and became whole again. I think you knew June would be too hard of a month for another anniversary. — I could talk for hours about how special of a person my dad was. Not just a father, but a person. He was loved by everyone who knew him. He was the hardest worker, loyal in all areas of his life, a helper to anyone who needed, and a goofball prankster who said “Yes! Looking forward to it” to any adventure big or small. Spending this week in his favorite place is bittersweet. I see him everywhere and now nowhere all at the same time, but I know he is here..impatiently waiting for the rest of us to get moving so he can go out exploring 💚 the last few slides are a few of my words that I shared at his service.
Back on top in june because it's pride month & pageant month 🏳️🌈
I can't believe that 4 weeks from today is finals for Miss New York USA. For the third time, I will compete for the chance to take my advocacy of #NewAgePageantry to the Miss USA stage✨
