Texas International Queens at the Children's Museum

This weekend I had the chance to catch up with my fellow sister queens Bonnie and Dymond, at the Woodlands Children's Museum. We had a "Queen for a Day" event where the kids got to make crowns and sit in the "princess" chair. We signed autographs and at the end, Bonnie took Dymond and I out to eat at the Cheesecake Factory. Dymond and I wished her luck, because she is leaving this weekend for Chicago to compete at the Mrs. International pageant! Good luck Bonnie, you will do great! :)

My Platform

In 2009 I traveled over 7,000 miles across the state of Texas, and helped to raise over $200,000 for after-school and youth mentoring programs; with The Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Big Brothers & Big Sisters. I believe that many of our youth are growing up too fast, and being negatively influenced. Many children are coming from broken homes and I believe that through after-school programs and positive mentoring these youth can be productive in today's society instead of destructive. Growing up I had two working parents, and had many friends that were “latch key kids”. I have seen first hand the dangers of gang violence and the importance of these programs. Having volunteered with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America since 1999 and mentoring my “little sister” through Big Brother and Big Sisters, I see a need for positive outlets for young teens. For youth, 12 - 14 years old is a crucial time when youth are exposed to gangs. Also boys and girls involved in after school programs are 50% less likely to drop out of high school, and 2.5 times more likely to go on to further education.
