hi friends! Welcome back to another episode of a work in progress the podcast! 

Today is part 2 of my LAST pageant diary! I told y’all this was going to be a long one! I really wanted this podcast series to explain the lore of my pageant era for anyone unfamiliar with my entire story. I wanted to talk about EVERYTHING big and small, give my reflections, regrets and reveal more secrets, so yes this is long, but yes, this is only part 2 of 3! 

This may be information y’all already know if you’ve been following me for years, and for that, I thank you for being here with me along this journey!! But I also know you’ll get more insight and perspective that I didn’t share while competing. 

Sit back and enjoy me reflecting, reminiscing and spilling tea!
