God Bless Sasha!

I chose to compete in Miss Missouri USA 2025 as a way to promote myself as an entrepreneur and philanthropist. I wanted a coach who is experienced in the Miss USA system as well as a coach who is Black. I hit the lottery with Sasha: she is DC’s first Afro Latina titleholder, a business owner herself, and with her living in our nation’s capitol she’s got a great understanding of my social services based platform. This came in handy later when I began experiencing a lot of uncertainty due to my government based healthcare job. Sasha showed me that she is more than just a coach, she is a friend! Due to unfortunate incident after unfortunate incident, my pageant experience was short lived but again, Sasha offered her expertise as a coach and her listening ears as a pageant sister. It is because of Sasha’s kind and understanding character that I will continue to try new pageantry experiences. I am grateful to have met Sasha!
