Miss Black Texas USA judges Miss Texas Plus America!

I had the pleasure of judging the Miss Texas Plus America Pageant this weekend in Richardson, TX! The ladies were so beautiful, confident, and inspiring. I truly enjoyed meeting each and every one of them. It was a fabulous competition, and an honor to judge.

Congratulations to the newly crowned 2011 titleholders! I know they will each represent Texas beautifully at the national competition. (I was excited to hear that the national pageant will be in Dallas this year, therefore I have already marked my calendar to support!)

Exude ultimate beauty,

More Girls, More Fun!

Hello Everyone!!

I have had an enormous amount of fun recently as I've continued my All-Girls' Speaking Tour. Just wanted to share some snapshots of recents visits to Girls Living Life on Purpose, Mark Twain Elementary School, and Erasmo Seguin Elementary School...

Enjoy!

XOXO,

Touching the Lives of a Thousand Texas Girls!

Greetings everyone!

I had the recent blessing to reach a landmark in my reign as Miss Black Texas USA 2011.
As of yesterday, I have shared my message of true beauty to over a thousand girls in the state of Texas through school and community assemblies!

Above I am pictured with girls from R.L. Thornton Elementary in Dallas. These ladies nearly BOMBARDED me after I gave them an assembly! And you what? It's okay. After all, making them feel special is what being Miss Black Texas USA 2011 is all about.

Redefining beauty,

Fabulous Times with Fabulous Girls!

(With some fabulous girls during the Fabulous Female Expo , January 2011)

Greetings!

I had the recent opportunity to give inspirational talks to girls at Barbara Jordan Elementary and the Fabulous Female Expo in Fort Worth! These experences not only inspired the young ladies in attendance, but resonated within me as well. No matter how many years and accomplishments we accumulate, children always have a way of "teaching" us. Interacting with these girls reminded me of the significance of the crown. These appearances were the first time many of the girls ever encountered a "queen". From that, they were in awe of every word I spoke, and every move I made. The principles I shared for authentic beauty truly resonated with them. They seemingly clung to every piece of encouragement shared.

This is my aim: To inspire countless girls toward world-changing, undying beauty as Miss Black Texas USA. The journey has only begun! Please keep my efforts in your thoughts and prayers, and NEVER underestimate how your presence affects the little ones around you.

Redefine beauty,
