The most important factor behind the success of my organization “All Shades of Wellness Inc’, is my desire to make a positive impact on public health and well-being. There are several key factors that I considered when I started this brand. At first, I wanted to target just health awareness, however in the process, I realized that there are 8 dimensions of wellness and they all needed to be addressed. For me to successfully create a brand that would be beneficial to those from economically disadvantaged communities, there were several factors that I must address. The first factor was passion and purpose. You must be deeply committed to improving health outcomes and making a difference in people’s lives. As a health care provider myself, the passion was already there as well as the clear understanding of issues surrounding health awareness. Factor number two was to identify a need. I had to conduct thorough research to identify areas of need in health awareness and education. Factor number three was making sure that my mission and vision clearly articulated the goals of my organization. By prioritizing these factors I am confident that I can make a meaningful contribution and lasting impact on promoting health awareness and educating the disadvantaged. Read more>>

I wanted to take my platform and turn it into a movement. My platform is “Breaking Barriers” through personal development. “Breaking Barriers” is a hallmark of my life that has translated to pageantry. My platform has afforded me the opportunity to encourage people to break their barriers by not allowing society to determine self-worth and never accepting “NO” for an answer. I advocate for everyone to break their barriers by ensuring opportunities are shared with her community and assuring that the proper supports and services are available for their future success. For me, volunteering, and community service go hand in hand with my platform. I can be found giving back to the community locally and throughout her state. My personality, passion, and energy cause everyone to feel like they are a “winner” even without a crown. Read more>>
