I’m so happy that TOMORROW I will be back on the stage competing with the organization for the title of Miss Chicago’s Teen 2024!

September 11th has been and always will be a tragic day for not only the United States, but the world. On this day 22 years ago, approximately 2,997 people lost their lives in a horrific and unimaginable situation. The picture I am posting is one that I took at the ground zero site during my visit there this past February. A dark, rainy day was only fitting for the solemn and humbling experience that was visiting the 9/11 memorial sites and museum.

From the moment I began to be seen publicly as a pageant queen, I knew it was my responsibility to use my platform to reach out to others. Therefore, today I encourage everyone to take a moment to honor those who lost their lives on this day in 2001 as well as recognize those still struggling will the losses, trauma, and aftermath of the September 11th attacks.

Never forget 🤍

There were so many happy moments last night at the pageant! I’ve had the privelege to work with the princess and junior girls as a mentor during thwir rehearsal process and was so proud of every single one of them as they shined on stage. But most of all I am proud of my bestie and QUEEN who took home the title of Teen Miss McHenry County!!! Overall, it was another beautiful experience to use my .
