Crowning Around Pageant Expo: Day 2 Recap!

Our day started bright and early with hair and makeup done by the INCREDIBLE KD Stylings!
I was so happy with the way my HMU turned out - Kirsten kills it every time!

Then, the queens were treated to a photoshoot with Rick Wilson Photography. We had an amazing time shooting pictures, filming content, and spending time at Crowning Around!! Be sure to stay tuned for the final images!

Then, I caught my plane back home! In just 48 hours, I traveled across the country and back and made memories to last a lifetime with my sister queens. Being a POA national queen is truly living the dream!

Still in the best mood after this weekend’s trip to Oklahoma for the Crowning Around Pageant Expo!!

Day 1 Recap ✨

The amazing day began with hair and makeup with my sister queens!! I love being a big sister to my younger queens and helping them get their glam on for events like this one! It was so much fun to catch up with everyone for the first time since Nationals. When we were together, it didn’t feel like any time had passed!

Then, we arrived at for the Expo!! I’d never been to a pageant shop before, and it’s safe to say that the experience was truly a dream! Trying on beautiful dresses, a hair and makeup lesson from the incredible .hamu, a motivational talk from , and shopping POA sponsors… seriously, what more could a pageant girl need?!

The queens and I went for dinner together after the Expo. I love these girls and our special bond! After dinner, we participated in a service project led by my Jr. Ambassador sister, Bria.

Thank you so much to Crowning Around, Princess of America staff, KD Stylings, LJ Custom Jewelry, The Blingy Bobbin, Crowned Prisstique, Rick Wilson, and everyone who attended the Expo! It was the most amazing day!!

Me explaining why you should register for .ok.southernstates…

What do all of these queens have in common??

It’s Crowning Around Pageant Expo week!! I can’t wait to be reunited with my 10 sisters in just a few days!! See you soon, Oklahoma! ✈️✨

THIS. IS. PAGEANTRY. 🤟🏻🩷

Every time I look at the beautiful stage shots captured by the talented , I’m reminded of the powerful bonds that pageantry forms.

Each girl becomes a sister by the end of pageant week and these friendships don’t end at crowning. At POA, it’s not about “competing against” the other delegates; instead, it’s the experience of being uplifted and inspired by one another.

The POA class of ‘23 will always be sisters to me!! Sending love to all of you!

Monday Motivation ✨🩷

I’ve been asked what it was like returning to the POA stage after reigning as Princess of America Junior Ambassador in 2020. Was it stressful? Were there added pressures? Competing (again) was a journey of self-discovery and growth.

Before nationals, I made a list of goals to accomplish during pageant week. “Winning” wasn’t on it. Instead, I reflected on the importance of being my authentic self and putting forth my best effort in every area of competition. I couldn’t wait to see my pageant friends and make new ones. I also challenged myself by trying new optional competitions. My biggest goal was to make it to the Top 5 so that I could answer an onstage question (which is my favorite part of competition ;)). When I walked out of interview, I remember feeling both confident and calm. I did my best, and that was a win in my book. If I would have put too much pressure on myself to “outdo” my previous performance, I don’t think I would be where I am today.

This is your reminder that being yourself is ALWAYS enough! Your energy should be spent making yourself proud, not worrying about the opinions of others. I can honestly say that even if I hadn’t walked away with the crown, I would still be proud of my performance.

Today, set goals for yourself and work toward achieving them. Small wins lead to big ones, which is how I ended up as a national queen not once, but twice! 🎤👑

Much of the work I do for my nationwide organization, EmBrace You, goes on behind the scenes. Collecting donations, creating Brace Bags, emailing patients, and sending shipments to Shriners Children’s locations across the country are just some of the things that keep me busy.

Once the Brace Bags have been shipped, it’s off to make and send out more. It can be easy to forget that each Brace Bag sent is given to a real scoliosis patient - giving them an easy method for brace transportation and a reminder that they are not alone. EmBrace You had had the opportunity to do this over 500 times since 2020.

Recently, I sent a shipment of bags to Shriners Children’s - Philadelphia. A few days ago, they shared these absolutely heartwarming pictures to their social media; Matan, a young scoliosis patient, proudly choosing her first brace bag.

I hope that Matan can feel EmBrace You’s love and support all the way in Philadelphia and that picking out a Brace Bag was a bright spot in her treatment.

Thank you so much for sharing, Matan and Shriners Children’s - Philadelphia.

Repost: on Instagram

Matan was so excited to receive her scoliosis brace bag thanks to

EmBrace You was founded by Alexis, a scoliosis patient at who makes and provides brace bags for patients so they can easily store them during activities & when they’re not wearing them.

Today I’m giving a shoutout to a longtime POA sponsor who always makes sure I’m dressed my best!

Of course, I’m talking about ! Working with the fabulous Lisa Carson was one of the many highlights of my year as Princess of America Junior Ambassador in 2020. I’m so excited to have the opportunity to work with her again! (Swipe for some throwback pictures :))

Thanks, Natalie. M, for your continued support of Princess of America!

State pageant season is approaching soon! You’re not going to want to miss it! Contact me today for information!! 💗

POA Nationals Recap - Day 4!!

On Day 4, an interview changed my life!! Interview day is always my favorite day of pageant week.

Interview allows me to share my interests and passions with the judges so that they can get to know who I am! I remember having the most incredible morning interviewing with the judges. I was able to reflect upon my values and convey them in the interview room.

POA Nationals Recap - Day 2!

Day 2 started off bright and early at the beautiful Mansion Theatre with Orientation! After learning everything there is to know about pageant week, I attended a fun “Platform Proud” themed rehearsal!! I was happy to share EmBrace You with my pageant besties. To end the day, I attended the Superstar shows!! I had the best time enjoying the many talents of the delegates and am continually amazed by these incredible girls!!

Princess of America Nationals is where my life changed forever!! I thought it’d be fun to look back on pageant week through a series of posts reflecting on each day in Branson.

Day 1 started out bright and early with Check-In! I met the 2022 national queens, received my beautiful opening number dress, and got everything in order for the week. Then, I channeled my inner Rapunzel for a fun storybook themed rehearsal!! The day ended with Princess of America’s ICONIC Pink Party!! I had the best time singing and dancing with my pageant besties - I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the week!

Shoutout to the incredible for making me look and feel beautiful throughout nationals week! I have Kristen and her team to thank for doing my hair during the pageant.

Be sure to check out Glam Co. for not only the amazing HMU, but also for the constant support and love they show to their girls!! 💗

The Ambassador title promotes community service and represents Princess of America’s motto, “A Crown With A Cause”.

My cause is much more than just a platform, it’s my passion. I’m so excited to officially share it on a national level.

In 2020, I founded EmBrace You, a nationwide organization dedicated to advocating for scoliosis patients. With a personal understanding of the challenges posed by scoliosis and years of treatment and surgery, my mission is to provide peer-to-peer support, raise awareness, and impact the lives of those affected by this condition. Proudly partnered with Shriners Children's, EmBrace You extends its support to a large number of patients in need. Through outreach efforts, discussions with legislators, impactful media campaigns, and the creation and distribution of Brace Bags, EmBrace You strives to destigmatize scoliosis and ensure no patient feels alone in their journey.

I’m extremely grateful for the perfect opportunity to promote the two organizations closest to my heart: EmBrace You and Princess of America this year as your national Ambassador titleholder. 💗

Wishing the happiest of birthdays to my beautiful friend and your new Miss Princess of America, Jacey!!

From becoming besties at nationals to now reigning as national queens together, it’s safe to say we have a bond that will last a lifetime. Jacey’s kindness and positivity shines brightly wherever she goes and she’s an incredible role model. There was no doubt in my mind that she’d walk away with a title during nationals week - she was made to be a queen.

Today and everyday, I’m grateful for my big sister. Love you, Jacey!!
