I’m still on Cloud 9 thinking about this incredible experience! I walked away with 42 new friends and unforgettable memories!

To my local directors: Thank you so much, Mrs. Charlotte and Mrs. Heather, for your endless support, encouragement, and for believing in me every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for better directors!

To my family: Thank you all for your constant love, prayers, and support. Thank you for cheering me on every step of this journey and always believing in me. I am so thankful for each of you.

To my Little Miss Ruby: Thank you for being the sweetest little sidekick and for always bringing a smile to my face. It has been such a joy sharing this journey with you, and I hope you know how proud I am of you. I can’t wait to continue making special memories together throughout the rest of my year!

To the Newton County community: Thank you for your incredible support throughout this journey. It has been such an honor to represent the place I proudly call home, and I am so grateful for every encouraging word, prayer, and act of kindness along the way.

To my fellow contestants: Thank you for making this week so special. I am beyond grateful for the friendships we’ve built, the memories we’ve shared, and the way we cheered each other on. I truly gained 42 new friends, and I can’t wait to watch each of you do amazing things!

Congratulations to our new Mississippi Miss Hospitality 2026, Landry Kent! I know you will represent our state with grace, kindness, and a true spirit of hospitality. Wishing you an unforgettable year ahead!

Although competition week has come to an end, my journey as Newton County Miss Hospitality is far from over. I am so excited to continue representing Newton County over the coming months. Thank you all for following along and supporting! I can’t wait to see what the rest of this year has in store!
