‘Have courage and be kind’ — Cinderella 🤍
Happy Women Veterans Day! 🇺🇸
Walking into the Semi-Finals like…✨👑
To the incredible semi-finalists of this year’s competition — get ready for an unforgettable, life-changing journey that will challenge you, grow you, and open your heart in ways you never imagined.
My advice?
✨ Be authentically you.
✨ Think outside the box as you advocate and support our homeless women Veterans and their children through Final Salute Inc.
✨ Most importantly — embrace this sisterhood; it will stay with you forever.
I’m so excited to meet you all and I’m cheering you on every step of the way!
This photo is from our Next Uniform program. I remember running around out of breath, excited to meet every woman Veteran—helping them pick out business attire and watching them take headshots for their next chapter. I even had to be reminded to eat…😅
Fun fact: I was almost 3 months pregnant with our baby girl in this photo 🥹🎀 I feel so blessed to now have my little future Ms Veteran America. This chapter has reminded me to lead with grace in every role, especially now as a mother, balancing purpose, service, and love while continuing to honor and uplift our Veteran community. 🤍🇺🇸
Going down memory lane of the semi-finals — what an unforgettable journey that was.
