This past summer, my sister and I collected gently used shoes for the Sole4Souls organization. The shoes you no longer want, create opportunities many need. Donating new and gently worn shoes act as a resource to help entrepreneurs generate income to provide for themselves and their families.
In 2016, Soles4Souls provided over 3 million pairs of shoes to entrepreneurs in Haiti, Honduras, Transnistria, and Sierra Leone!
Soles4Soulsâ micro-enterprise model is designed to create real economic change in developing nations. We utilize new and gently-worn shoes as a resource to help people with an opportunity to start and sustain a small business (a micro-enterprise) of their own. The income earned allows entrepreneurs the ability to purchase necessities like food, shelter and education for their families. This is a powerful and sustainable way for people to lift themselves and their families out of poverty.
I’m thankful for my community that helped us donate over 60 shoes to this great organization.

I had a blast representing my title recently while judging the Miss Princess of Louisa Pageant. Though quite the winnerâs circle is pictured, my job was hard, as all the contestants did awesome. Canât wait for my next event as Ms. American Coronet!

Today, I had the honor of representing American Coronet Pageants while judging the Petersburg Volunteer Fire Company Pageant. Pageantry has added a charm to my life that I am blessed to experience in many facets. One of the lovely young ladies who won her age division personally thanked me after the event. So sweet! I had a blast representing my title and seeing other young ladies and women grow through pageantry.

Hi all! Just a quick post to share my joy that July is National Ice Cream month. I just returned from a long week of coaching and supporting a client through her pageant competition. There is much hard work that goes into pageantry (as I know you all know), so it is nice to kick back with some ice cream (or in this case, âfroyoâ) and relax! I call that âqueening and ice creaming!â
