Only one word is in my mind. Gratitude. This has been the greatest year of my life, but this experience would have not been possible without some very important people.
To Mary and Mel Richardson and the rest of the
@intlpageants team, thank you for the opportunity of a lifetime to be Miss International. I am so appreciative of the experience you all have cultivated for me.
To
@clayspannface and
@competitive_image , thank you for making me feel like a queen inside and out.
To
@randimoxi , who would have thought our first meeting in 2019 would have turned into the journey from Illinois to International. Thank you for all that you have done for me.
To
@constantine_james , where would I be without you. Thank you for making me feel confident and beautiful when I needed it the most. I truly appreciate having someone as supportive and caring as you in my life.
To
@thekatiehoang ,
@stennett2winit , and
@princessme.rocks , thank you for being such wonderful sister queens this past year. I will forever treasure the time that we have spent together and am so happy that we joined this sisterhood together.
What a year this has been! None of it would have been possible without these incredible people. I will forever be grateful for this year and these individuals.
For the last time, I am your 2021 Miss International, Deepa Dhillon.
