🇺🇸 I can’t believe it’s already been 2 weeks since I had the privilege of traveling to Washington DC and experiencing our nation’s capital with these 3 incredible women — my @primepageants sister queens and director! Each of us were awarded the Presidential Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) for work in our communities and had the opportunity to tour the White House! 🏛️ Following our tour, we enjoyed the perfect weather and experienced the Smithsonian Natural History Museum, WWII Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, and Washington Monument. Britton guided us through a medication alongside the Reflecting Pool, we ate delicious food, and enjoyed bonding through sisterhood. 💖 I’m grateful to know and be surrounded by these women who inspire me every day — and especially to have experienced this with them! #mspageants #mightyms #affirmations #sisterhood #primepageants #primepageants2023 #beseenbeheard #shesagem #msillinoisprime2023 #msusaprime #msusaprimediv4 #msusaprime4 #selfcarepageant #selfcaremastermind #primeselfcare #primeselfcaremonth #selfcare

🎉This is 4️⃣3️⃣! Thank you to everyone who sent birthday wishes last week. 🎂 You made me feel very special, and I appreciate every message, call, and card. This past year has given me so much to be grateful for and my heart is full. I have also faced challenges, persevered, and learned much. I have embraced new things, and left others that no longer serve me behind. Most of all, I’m grateful for the incredibly kind people in my life. 💕 In turning 43, I’m blessed with another year ahead. In this next year of life, I’m going to embrace and try to embody a beautiful quote by the one-and-only Dolly Parton, ✨“Let your best self SHINE in a glorious LIGHT.”✨ I hope that in my 43rd year I can further become my most authentic and best self — and in doing so, I hope I may be a light for others in whatever way possible. 🎉Cheers to 43 years!💕 💄HMU: @constantine_james 📸Photography: @magicdreamsproductions 👑 @msusaprime4 @primepageants @mspageantnews @mrs_pageant_worldwide_report @katrina_spagnoletti
