#Throwback

As Miss Teen USA gets closer, (19 days!) I am having a #Throwback moment to some of my favorite things I have had the opportunity to do in my community this year! :)

I have loved getting to speak to different groups of teens and kids about the importance of healthy relationships and respect in dating. I hope that each group I have presented to leaves feeling empowered and with a better understanding of how important respect is in every relationship. Here are some pictures of a few of the groups I have had the pleasure of talking with!

 Raymore Elementary's Girls on the Run group

Kansas City Girl Scout Troop

Grain Valley Middle School

I have also had the opportunity to work closely with Hope House, a domestic violence shelter located in Kansas City. I have loved getting to spend time with the women and children staying there. Thanks to the generous donations of several businesses and individuals, I was able to put together a pancake breakfast and over 100 care packages for Hope House!
