Universal Miss Kentucky Baby

So we call our trips "pageant vacations"

We started our pageant vacation early for Universal Miss!

We left Kentucky today and traveled to Cumberland Falls State Resort Park to see the waterfall!

The person in the photos with me is my big sissy! She loves to cheer me on at pageants and decided last minute to join our trip this time. Im so grateful.

We also stopped at Norris Dam State Park. This trip is amazing. We are even sleeping in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee tonight.

Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

Our why....

We do pageants because...

My daddy did 17 years active duty with the army. Afterwards my family moved from Chicago to Europe, then to Kentucky.. my closest family is over two hours away. I don't get to grow up going to my cousins house whenever I want or see my papa or grandma once a week.

Who I meet in pageants become my family. I hold them so close, these are my "cousins" and "aunts."

Pageants are more than just a crown or a title, they are our extended family.

Service day.

Well, yesterday was full of Service, but we are not shy to community service in my house.

Since I was born I have gone with my mama to do community service at the FORT KNOX 🇺🇸 WARRIOR WAREHOUSE. We have over 200 hours of service with them and the American Red Cross.

We also go to Bee Hive Homes to pass out valentines and other special gifts. I love seeing all the grandma's and papa's.

Yesterday we worked with Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana at their Kentucky Kingdom Louiville Ky event.

Today my sister queen Hanna has something planned for us!

We love giving back.

Today I had the most amazing day giving back to my community. We volunteered with Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana and Kentucky Kingdom to give back to the make a wish families.

The volunteers helped hand out items and greet the families as they came in, I brought my favorite thing in the whole world to share with the kids, bubbles!! We also played corn hole.

Thank you Melanie Pugh for having me today at your event. Can't wait till next year!

She also let us play at the amusement park after our job was done. I worked all morning with my sister queen Universal Miss Kentucky Pr***en ! I also played all day with my sister queen Universal Miss East South Central Baby !

BEST DAY EVER!

I have been so busy repping my title!

I have helped out at multiple pageants. Done several community service opportunities around Fort Knox and Louisville. Traveled to Tennessee to spend time with my sister queens at Dollywood.

This weekend I have another community service opportunity in Louisville before nationals.

We love giving back!

Ps. If there's a bucees near by, you will find me at it.
