The Queen's Journey
...inspiration for living!
Whether it's competing in a pageant, or living life, I am here to walk your journey with you! Drawing on my own pageantry winning experiences, as well as those pearls of wisdom gleaned from traveling my own journey, my heart's desire is to share with you all what life has given me.
Traveling a life of sorrow and heartbreak in care-giving for loved ones through sickness, tragedy and death, including losing my husband to cancer when I was 29 years old; to becoming a national-winning pageant coach and national-winning queen, life has given me delicious morsels of truth to impart to you for living a life of hope, love, and joy; and rising above the chaos to become a winner on stage... and in life!
In pageantry, it was an honor to make history in the Miss Plus America pageant organization in 2011 by winning my national title of Miss Plus America Elite, along with winning several accolades; as well as being bestowed with the first-ever lifetime Ambassador title of Miss Plus America Essence in 2014. Not a competitor any longer, but now a national-winning pageant coach, my record exhibits taking clients to the top with national wins and top placings. It is always a privilege to be invited into a woman's heart and begin the beautiful process of sculpting a winner in all areas of competition; from wardrobe to stage presence to interview and platform development, and all in between.
My journey has also given me opportunity to become a published model with three magazine covers, editorials, and web site modeling; as well as helping to make plus-size fashion history on the runways at Austin and LA Fashion Weeks. I am also a published author of my first book, Spruced UP …inspirations for living!
My heart is in giving to others, and it has been an honor to receive the Philanthropist of the Year Award with Texas Women in Business and the Godly Girlfriend Movement, the Miss Plus America Humanitarian Award, recognized for philanthropy by the Greater East Austin Youth Association, and a finalist for Philanthropist of the Year with Austin Fashion Week. My life motto is “Love, Live, and Give… it’s a matter of the Heart”, and feet were put to this by founding my charity Flip Flop to the World in 2012 (formerly Flip Flop to Nigeria), where new flip flops are collected and sent to the poor and orphans in various countries around the world. To-date, over 28,000 pairs of flip flops have been distributed to the poor and orphans, the under-served and less fortunate in
Nigeria (5 years), Mexico, Puerto Rico, USA, Philippines, Haiti, India, and Kenya!
Join me in seizing, living, and traveling a beautiful and winning journey! ♥
