It’s with great pleasure to have impacted so many people in such a short amount of time as a “small town girl dreaming big“. Between entrepreneurship, mentoring, traveling and pageantry each birthday I am blessed to tour, meet, and greet.  This year I am asking for a different momentum as I welcome a new wave of energy and life. As a young woman of color, with a purple heart, my life hasn’t always been glamorous. I took a road that isn’t quite traveled on – with shoes that not to many people would want to wear. “Realizing that my passions and dreams takes a village” I am asking for you all to give 24 something to a cause that’s dear to me below. Doesn’t have to be cash! Be creative and show proof of your 24. Happy Birthday to me & thank you to you!
