SPONSOR Spotlight
Thank you to my generous sponsors and all community partners who support me during my reign!
ABOUT ME
I am 53 years old, a proud full-figured woman, wife, mother of six, and grandmother of five. I am not only an advocate, but a survivor and a champion for those affected by domestic violence. My journey has been a testament to resilience, one that includes not only surviving but thriving. Having lived through a 12-year ordeal of domestic violence, I emerged stronger and more determined than ever to use my voice to support those who are still silenced.
About My
Platform
Growing up, I was raised by a parent who faced significant mental wellness challenges. This early experience taught me that mental wellness and domestic violence often share a common thread—both can leave individuals feeling isolated, ashamed, and trapped in cycles that seem impossible to break. Yet, through my own journey, I learned that making connections with others is imperative and led me to create Ladies Lounge in 2013 as a space for women to meet, greet, and motivate whether through shared experiences or supportive networks. Pioneering these supportive connecting spaces continues today through active involvement in several advocacy resource groups; co-lead for moms in the marketplace and allies, women of color in leadership as a group coordinator, and pride alliance as a co-lead for events. These spaces are crucial to navigating both my personal struggles and those of others; connections matter by providing me with the strength to continue when I felt my spirit was failing, and they gave me the tools to rebuild my life.
