🤝🧡 Happy Unity Day 🧡🤝

Unity starts with choosing kindness, embracing our differences, and recognizing that we are stronger together. No matter our backgrounds, beliefs, or experiences, we all have the power to make a difference by treating others with kindness, respect, and compassion.

Let’s continue to stand together, celebrate what makes us unique, and remember that a little kindness can go a long way in bringing people together 🤗🧡 @pacer_nbpc

Last week, I had the opportunity to come home and sit down with Talk of Alabama to discuss my partnership with The Pelham Beat and my role as Miss Shelby County 🎤👑

I am so excited for this partnership and all of the amazing events and opportunities that will come from it, including opportunities to serve Shelby County and collaborate through my work with Be the Spark Foundation 🧡✨

I’m grateful for every opportunity to serve my community, even when it means making a three-hour drive home 🤪😂 No matter the distance, I’m committed to showing up and serving in any way I can 🤍

I’m truly honored to have this job, and I can’t wait to see what’s ahead for Miss Shelby County 👑

Proudly dressing Miss Alabama, year after year.

Gus Mayer is honored to continue our longstanding sponsorship of Miss Alabama, and tonight, we’ll be cheering on @missamericaal Ruby Tilghman as she takes the Miss America stage.

We loved sharing pieces from Ruby’s competition wardrobe alongside the 2026 Miss Alabama finalists dressed in Fall arrivals from Gus Mayer at the Miss Alabama Fashion Show.

Tune in and stream Miss America live on YouTube tonight. And keep an eye on the stage, you might spot a Gus Mayer dress or two.

Gus Mayer is cheering you on, Ruby!

✨ FIRST FRIDAY ✨

Hi everyone! I’m SO excited to officially introduce my new series, First Friday 🧡

On the first Friday of every month, I’ll be sharing conversations, stories, tips, and resources centered around bullying prevention, kindness, and creating safer, more inclusive communities

My hope is that this series reaches people I may never have the opportunity to meet personally, especially those who have been impacted by bullying or are looking for ways to make a difference. Whether you’re a survivor, an advocate, a parent, a teacher, or simply someone who believes in leading with kindness, there’s a place for you here!

I can’t wait to grow this community and make every First Friday a reminder that our words and actions have the power to make someone’s day, their year, or even their life a little brighter 🧡

See you next First Friday ✨
