As I crown my successor today, I reflect on this experience that has been like no other. I spent 419 days as @missvausa and I’m forever grateful for this journey, the lessons I’ve learned and the people I’ve met.

To my friends and family, thank you for the endless support you’ve shown me. I cherish every single uplifting message you share. I wouldn’t be in this position without such stable support.

Thank you @giselleboone for guiding me along this ride. I don’t know what this reign would have looked like without you in my corner. You are so special to me.

To the 2024 contestants, shine BRIGHT. Walk in your confidence, uniqueness and show your commitment to this goal in your presence and performance.

Thank you, God, for blessing me with this opportunity.

Signing off with love from the state of lovers,

I am Ashley Williams, Miss Virginia USA 2023.

One of the highlights of my reign thus far has been working with @dr.catherinecosmetic in restoring my smile. Dr. Muldoon is a former Miss Virginia USA 2012 and how lucky am I to have her support and sponsorship as the current titleholder! Thank you Dr. Muldoon for giving me such a beautiful new smile.

She is located in New York City, I can’t recommend her enough for your cosmetic dentistry needs!

🧿I did a search on how to break a hex, and almost every result suggested a salt bath… maybe some essential oils (I personally love lavender!) I’m just not sure how you can fit an entire organization into a bathtub. 🛁

The Miss USA pageant curse is undefeated. I’m not privy to all the details, so it’s not fair for me to comment on it. Not everyone is entitled to an opinion on everything, especially on matters we’re not entirely well-informed on.

📌 I know two things for certain: I want good things for Miss USA. It’s sad to see something you have enjoyed & supported for the better part of your life be entangled in years of nonstop drama.

💔The other thing I know is the loss we’re all feeling. A few of our longtime legendary Miss USA state directors have chosen to step down this week. Three incredible leaders, and former USA titleholders, with a heart of service so valuable in enriching our system and the lives of so many women.

👑 @brittdarapowell devoted herself to every young lady who entered her pageants, and helped shape them into successful women. She is a motivating force in inspiring others to live and lead our lives with purpose, just as she’s devoted her life towards. (Don’t get me started on all of her generous work with shelter dogs! #rescuesrule 🐾) ♥️Thank you, Britt. 👑 @mprocprod is a class act who is revered by the entire industry, which is a testament to her leadership. So many success stories as a result of her guidance. ♥️Thank you, Melissa! 👑 @kimberlynicewonder89 …30 years as an exceptional state director. It didn’t matter if Kimberly had 60 entrants or 20, she’d book THE most lavish, palatial, stunning theatres- which put any nationals venue to shame! That epitomizes her as a state director. She never sacrificed, always went big (her state judging panels truly rivaled that of Miss Universe pageant) and she established a real family with every titleholder whom she housed within her fantastic program. ♥️Thank you, Kim!

Ladies, we’re all wishing you continued greatness in your future endeavors. This pageant won’t be the same without you! 💐

I enjoyed being in the Bristol TN/VA christmas parade! It was a 2 hour long parade down State Street to our beautiful Bristol sign. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did! @believeinbristol @news5wcyb

Nothing like diving into a great story but make it your own😉

I’ve loved reading fantasy books ever since I was little. The body’s ability to heal and the role medicine plays always felt a little magical to me. Maybe that’s part of what drew me to become a doctor? Of course, as much as I love scrubs, the pageant queen in me can’t pass up a ball gown and crown moment. Also a little foreshadowing for my next chapter👑

Tell me, what books are you reading right now?

You strive to elicit the same feelings of beauty & confidence in your clients that you enjoyed during your time as Miss Virginia USA in 2018. In each photoshoot, your objective is to make those in front of the camera feel their absolute best & most beautiful, crafting an unforgettable experience that they’ll treasure as the years pass. While a title may last a year, the images from our session will endure forever. 🖤

Six months ago...

Thinking back to April/May of this year, I have nothing but gratitude.
Imposter syndrome is REAL and timing is such a nuanced thing!

The idea of "winning" has been drilled into me since I started dancing, but it is not the be all end all. This title is so much more than just a crown, sash, and a 1st place trophy. This title was a push (maybe more of a shove) for me to actually make a difference around me.

When my friend showed me the @northernvirginiamag article for the first time, I was absolutely at a loss for words. When @nbcwashington reached out to me for an interview, I was honestly shaking.
I have learned so much over six months, and I know there is so much more learning to be done. I am just happy to say that I am proud of what I have been able to accomplish so far.

Thank you to @fairfaxcountypublicschools @oaktonhs and @nicewonderfulproductions among SO MANY others for your endless support 🫶🫶🫶

From reaching top 20 at Miss Teen USA to attending local appearances, every step is so important to me!

I never understand why I always end up making my captions so cheesy, but it is what it is haha 🧀
