~Purpose~

First, I would like to say that I am sorry that I haven't posted anything in a while. I do however want to express some feelings that I am having while watching "Keeping The Faith" BET celebration of gospel. I felt inspired more today than I do any other day. I learned that our PURPOSE means "reasons for achievement". Agreeing with this statement because beyond just having an idea there is a compassion for accomplishment. Here are some reasons of PURPOSE:
It Motivates
It Inspires
It Empowers

Revolving my life around these principles will guarantee success. Not only being and influence on others but letting these ideas captivate YOU.

Until next time live with purpose.

Lastly, I wanted to say thank you for supporting all my words of encouragement or inspiration. Words cannot express my appreciation!

thank you,

Red Dress Photo Shoot in Washington DC

During Martin Luther King Jr. weekend January 15-January 17, I traveled to Washington DC for the Miss Black USA 2011 Red Dress Photo shoot. It was such an exciting experience to visit DC because it was my first time and I wanted to experience all the wonderful monuments that our Nation's capitol had to offer. This was my journey:

The best feeling was to flying into the city at night to a beautiful arrangement of lights. I gazed out of the plane window ready to single out the white house and pentagon as well as all the other famous monuments of this fabulous city. Once I landed Miss Black Indiana USA 2011 felt all the emotions you could imagine estatic to meet her pageant sister queens, Miss Black USA 2010 and my national directors.

Once I arrived to the hotel I had butterflies of anxiety and was ready to FINALLY meet everyone. I met my roommate along with 10 other states during the photo shoot, it was amazing to be around so many talented, beautiful and inspirational young women.

The Red Dress Photo Shoot is a way for the delegates to bring awareness to heart disease month in February. Miss Black USA organization is in partnership with The Heart Truth Campaign and it was my pleasure to be involved with such a great event. I loved every moment and I cannot wait to publish my professional photos which will be on the Miss Black USA website for Indiana.

I will update you soon on future events and travels
have a blessed week!
