Pageant weekend was everything I didn’t know I needed. Yes, it was fun, but the real gift was the sense of grounding, support, and assurance I felt walking onto that stage.
From rehearsals, to stage time, and sisterhood, I was reminded that failure isn’t final and that I can still leave with more than I came in with.
So, thank you to everyone who poured into me; my sponsors, family, those who voted, my coach
@son_of_soca , my fellow Gemini
@peacopat for my exquisite evening gown, my talented aunty and hairstylist
@hairbyrynthi , and of course, my mama,
@deoriginaljuicytrini . 🇹🇹
Now, to the AH-MAZING women I shared space with; thank you for all the laughs and the freedom to just be real! To the
@missnyusa team; thank you for creating an opportunity for myself and all the ladies to shine.
I didn’t place, but I did walk away with more clarity, community, and a commitment to return stronger. Pageant life has a hold on me now; see you next year! 💐👸🏾#MissNYUSA #CypressHills
