Top 15 at Miss Georgia USA 2025. But truthfully? I already won.

Because the woman who showed up in Clarksville was forged by fire and walked in full.

This year was proof that evolution is loud when you stop shrinking.

To @savannahmiles, a real girls’ girl, you will make us so proud at Miss USA.

And to my tribe: you made the weight feel lighter. Thank you for seeing the vision and running with me.

Legacy and impact are the mission & I’m just getting started.
