Buffalo, it’s been an honor serving the community that made me.

Thank you for a year of growth, service and fun. Thank you for a year of building connections, gaining understanding and reaching goals.

Being Miss Buffalo was never just a title to me. This responsibility runs deep, and I hope to have made you all proud with the things I’ve done in the time that I was able.

From never having competed in my LIFE, to clean sweeping an entire show on the Miss America stage, I will never forget what this experience has shown me that I am capable of.

To your new Miss Buffalo, make sure you treat my city right! It can use a little TLC sometimes 😅😂but I know you’ve got what it takes💪🏽I am so excited to see your journey from here love, all blessings and good luck at Miss New York!!

Thank you for all the love, thank you for all the kind words & thank you for all the support. Signing off for the last time 🥲

-Your Forever Miss Buffalo 2022 💕

I may have been out of commission but I’ve still been working!

When I decided to compete to become Miss Buffalo, I knew that joining the Miss America Organization would afford me amazing opportunities to further my education while helping my community.

I am so excited to have started & completed the first week of classes for my Executive PhD in Public Policy, at an HBCU of course!

Southern University was birthed when a group of black politicians petitioned the State Constitutional Convention to establish an institution of higher learning for “colored people.”

Almost 150 years later, I am honored to be a part of this illustrious group of Black thinkers and leaders.

Historically Black Colleges are the pinnacle of education for Black students and I will always advocate for them! I am so blessed to be finishing my academic pursuits the same way I started—with people who look like me! ❤️🖤💚

After Miss Buffalo, get ready for Dr. King 😆💪🏽
