Madison-Elizabeth Hunt

A verse that kept coming to mind throughout my journey preparing for IUM this year was:

“When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen.” 🤍

My biggest goal this year wasn’t necessarily to win a title. It was to push myself mentally, spiritually, and physically.. to become a better version of myself. Looking back, I truly feel like I accomplished exactly that.

I have so much love and admiration for the beautiful organization @the_hollysour and @thekrisann_evelyn have created. I loved every moment with my sister queens, and getting to design all of my main competition wardrobe made this year even more special. As bittersweet as it is, this was my final year competing as a Miss contestant, and I’m excited to see what God has in store as I begin a new chapter as a Ms.

I’m so honored to be taking home @pageantprints Rising Star Award in the Miss Division for excellence in Social Media Marketing and 3rd Runner-Up in the Miss Top Model Shoot. As a small business owner, receiving the Rising Star Award means so much to me! 🤪

Congratulations to the beautiful Abbey Cheek, our newly crowned @nationalunitedmiss! I can’t wait to cheer you on throughout your reign. 🫶🏼

Finally, thank you to my incredible friends and family who traveled all the way to Orlando to support me, and to everyone back home who watched the livestream, prayed, and cheered me on. Your love means more than you’ll ever know. A special thank you to @pageantcoachingbybrandijo for believing in me, pushing me to grow, and always being in my corner. I am so incredibly blessed. 🩵
