Throwback Thursday to last weekend, when I had the opportunity to restock a local Blessing Box with food for families and individuals in need. 💗
Something as simple as a can of food can remind someone that they are seen, supported, and loved. Kindness doesn’t have to be grand to make a difference—sometimes, it begins with filling one little box.
Making an impact, one blessing at a time.

👑✨Back at BeBlessed Ministries International for day TWO in a row! 🤍 One of my favorite parts of every Tuesday and Wednesday is getting the opportunity to volunteer alongside my family while serving other families in our community.
Today, we were able to provide food for 14 families! 🥹❤️ I helped fill boxes, unload the truck, and load everything into families’ cars. There’s something so special about seeing the entire process—from the donations coming through the door to watching a family leave knowing they have food on their table.
And since my auntie is away in Alabama, I got promoted to “Auntie Junior” for the day 😂👑. I was happy to step in, help keep things moving, and continue the work she pours so much love into.
Random acts of kindness don’t always have to be huge. Sometimes it’s simply showing up, lending your hands, carrying a box, or making someone’s day a little easier. Fourteen families left with a little less to worry about today—and THAT is what being Crowned to Serve means to me. 👑🤍

👑 WELCOME TO CROWNED TO SERVE 👑
The causes closest to my heart are houseless equality, food equality, and mental health awareness. Today, I had the honor of filling boxes for local families in need with one of my favorite organizations, Be Blessed Ministries International.
I have always had a huge heart and a deep passion for helping my community. It hurts to think about the people who may be silently struggling—from families without enough food to those experiencing a temporary crisis. No one should have to choose between buying groceries, keeping the power on, or paying for lifesaving medication.
With September being Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, today was also a powerful reminder that we never truly know what someone may be facing behind closed doors. Sometimes, knowing that another person sees you, cares about you, and is willing to help can make a life-changing difference.
What makes Be Blessed Ministries even more special to me is that it is my aunt’s ministry. I grew up watching an incredible woman serve others, and she instilled in me the importance of having a giving heart and being a blessing to the people in my community.
Being a national titleholder allows me to use my voice and the US Miss platform to bring attention to the causes that matter most to me—but service did not begin with my crown, and it will not end when I give it away.
It is more than a crown. It is more than a title. It is a commitment to serve, uplift, and make a difference wherever I can. That is what being Crowned to Serve means to me. 💛

🚗💨 OUR FIRST US MISS ROAD TRIP IS OFFICIALLY IN THE BOOKS! 👑💕✨
Georgia ➡️ South Carolina ➡️ Tennessee ➡️ Georgia ➡️ South Carolina… and somehow we’re still smiling! 😂
When we found out our US Miss Director needed some extra help with her fundraiser, there really wasn’t a question. I called my US Miss Teen, Gi, and we both knew what that meant: LOAD THE CAR — WE’RE GOING! 👑
Mind you… we had JUST been in Georgia, I had literally just gotten back from Alabama within the previous 24–48 hours, and neither one of us had any business starting another road trip on basically NO SLEEP. 😭 But one thing about us: when we make a promise, we honor it. 💗
So I drove straight to her house, picked her up, and off we went! First stop? QT for the road-trip necessities: snacks, drinks, more snacks… and enough caffeine to keep two pageant queens functioning. 😂 At this point, Red Bull and Alani, PLEASE sponsor us. 🤣
After an 8-hour drive and meeting up with some of our sister queens in Tennessee, we decided we couldn’t leave without doing a little service along the way. We filled a Blessing Box in Tennessee and then another Blessing Box in Georgia. 🫶🏽
That’s when our little road-trip idea became something BIGGER. 💕 We challenged our US Miss family, pageant sisters, friends, and supporters across the country to fill a Blessing Box in their own state or local community. One road trip, one box, one act of kindness at a time — we can make an impact across all 50 states. 🇺🇸✨
Somewhere between the endless miles, caffeine, QT runs, snacks, laughing until we couldn’t breathe, delirious no-sleep conversations, sister-queen bonding, service, and making memories… we realized this was only the FIRST of MANY adventures together. 🥹👑
We are so incredibly honored to represent this organization as your US Miss & US Miss Teen, and we’re determined to make every mile of this year count. 💕
First road trip: ✅
Memories made: COUNTLESS
Blessing Boxes filled: 💗
Sleep: absolutely nowhere to be found 😂
Next destination: 👀✈️🚗
So… which state do you think you’ll catch your US Miss & US Miss Teen in next? 👑🗺️💕

All year long, I’ve been collecting Halloween decorations for one of my absolute favorite organizations, Block Love Charlotte! 🎃👻💚
Every year, Block Love hosts a Halloween celebration for our houseless neighbors and families in need, creating a safe, welcoming, stress-free space where kids and families can come together, laugh, celebrate, and simply HAVE FUN. 🧡Today’s drop-off wasn’t just about getting ready for Halloween! I also brought strawberries and pastries to help feed our streets and local families. 🍓🥐 Sometimes love looks like a warm meal, sometimes it looks like showing up, and sometimes it looks like a trunk FULL of Halloween decorations! 😂🎃
I’ve been blessed to work alongside Block Love CLT for years, and my heart is always full when I get the opportunity to support the incredible work they do for our community.
Halloween loading… 👽💀🎃 And I mayyyy have gone a little overboard this year! 😂
I LOVE YOU, BLOCK LOVE CLT! 💚🫶🏾

All week, I watched my bestie pour her heart, talent, and love into everyone around her. From hair and makeup to pep talks, confidence boosts, and unwavering support, Suli has always been the woman who makes everyone else feel seen, beautiful, and unstoppable. She gives endlessly, leads with grace, and shows up with a heart as radiant as her spirit. 🥹🤍
At US Miss, Suli was one of the most important people in my corner. She helped me prepare, encouraged me through every moment, and stood beside me as an incredible friend, sister, and supporter. She was always THERE. So when she told me she had signed up to compete with this system, there was never a question—I said, “I’m there!” Because a friendship like ours is rare, unforgettable, and truly once in a lifetime.
This week, the spotlight belonged to YOU, Suli. 💜👑 Watching you step onto that stage with confidence, elegance, and purpose—and seeing you claim your FIRST NATIONAL TITLE—was an absolute honor. You didn’t just compete; you commanded the stage, embodied the crown, and proved that the woman who helps everyone else shine is more than ready for her own moment in the light.
I could never fully express how grateful I am for you, how proud I am of you, or how deeply honored I feel to witness this extraordinary chapter of your journey. You have spent so much of your life lifting others higher, and now the world gets to celebrate the brilliance, beauty, and strength you have always carried within you.
Suli, I love you endlessly, and I cannot wait to watch you reign, inspire, and shine all year long as a NATIONAL QUEEN! 👑✨ This crown is only the beginning of everything you are destined to accomplish.
WATCH OUT, NEW YORK! 🗽🍎 My bestie is coming home with a brand-new shiny hat, a national title, and a reign that will be absolutely unforgettable! 👑✨

Absolutely OBSESSED with my official button! 💎👑 It’s the PERFECT little addition to my sash, pageant bags, or honestly anywhere I can add a little extra sparkle!
I love being able to proudly showcase my US Miss system wherever I go—and this button is definitely a conversation starter! 🖤✨ There’s nothing better than someone asking about it and getting the chance to tell them all about the system I love so much.
Thank you for helping me rep US Miss in the cutest, sparkliest way! 💕👑
