We are still looking for queens from Iowa & Maine to send us signed cards for our upcoming nationals! These are the only two states we don’t currently have a contact for and desperately need. If you or anyone you know can fulfill this need for us please comment or dm!! We would love to have your help for this NATIONAL LEVEL service project 🤍

Introducing our newest sponsor, Dr. Deidra Thompson of Mississippi! Dr. Thompson is a level 4 sponsor and is donating such incredible items such as signed cards for our welcome bags AND her Graceful Minds Kits which are designed to help individuals take a step back and breathe through anxieties and stress. These kits will be used in our Share & Care Room with Miss Alexis and we can’t wait to see them in action 🤍

As a level 4 sponsor, Dr. Thompson has donated $200 on top of what’s coming in the mail! We will share more details about her Graceful Minds Initiative in the next few weeks but for now, please read her impressive resume below!

Deidra Thompson is an DNP, APRN, FNP-C, PMHNP-BC, as well as your reigning Ms. Doctorate Mississippi, United Crown of America 2026 ! She is a Nurse Practitioner and CEO of Graceful Wellness PLLC. In addition she is the founder of Graceful Minds Initiative, and an Associate Professor - MSN PMHNP Program at Walden University School of Nursing!

UPDATED DONATION REQUESTS:

We are a little over one month away from WMN Nationals 2026, and that means it’s all about final preparations! Please swipe through for some updated needs as we near closer. All items will be sent to our Pittsford, New York location, please do not hesitate to comment or dm us with any questions!

We couldn’t have gotten this far without our amazing donors, you all have helped us immensely both this year and in the past and we are so grateful. Thanks a million for everything you all do, it doesn’t go unnoticed 🤍

Happy Saturday! It’s finally time for another update for our autograph card initiative, so read carefully for the important info and keep tagging others to show their support as well:

We have MANY states on the way set to arrive this week, but until those cards are in my hands that state is not going to be filled in on our map. Repeats are always welcome, and you will be thanked both in our stories and on our feed come July. We are so grateful to everyone who has been helping us, this would not be possible without you!

IF you have any extras you want to add to the bags, please ensure you ship those with your cards asap! June is a very busy month for last minute prep and we would love to have the bags ready by the end of this month. We are currently sitting at 13 states left to arrive or contact and have high hopes to cross each off our need list. This is your chance to participate in a NATIONAL level service project that not only looks great on socials but would make an amazing talking point in interview.

There’s loads of exciting things coming your way this month as we count down to Nationals! Stay tuned & as always, thank you all for everything!

Xoxo

Wishing the happiest of birthdays to our fabulous Alexis! She founded our share & care room to help provide a space for us all to catch our breath and take a little break from things during pageant day. Recently Alexis graduated with her Masters in Social Work and we are SO PROUD! To know her is to love her and we’re so excited to see what she brings this summer 💜

Wish our girl a happy birthday below!!

We are grateful for the chance to meet so many incredible young ladies from across the country who are making a difference through their platforms in pageantry. Here is Keri - a school teacher whose platform is Learning Without Limits - who interviewed Sandy Arena - founding director of Worth More Nation last week. If you are curious about what WMN is all about and the “how” and “why” - Keri did a fantastic job asking questions and keeping us on topic. Thank you to everyone who gives so much so we can do what we do!

Thank you to all of the models, dancers, volunteers and clothing designers for this amazing gift! The biggest thank you to our of Ladies Who Succeed and our director for producing this event and leading us to such success!

Thank you and thank you!!!

Fittings for the Miss Worth More Nation National Pageant on July 18 are winding down! Princess and Blessing came to the shop this past Thursday and are wearing the most amazing wardrobe pieces!!! Here is Blessing in a stunning gown! However she is wearing a different one. We would have kept it a secret otherwise 😀. Both girls hold their garment bags with gratitude and excitement. We are grateful and very excited for all the support and incredible donations, as well. These two ladies are Worth More and will be crowned as such in July 18!
