My community service initiative, The Sizemore Legacy: The Rhythm of Recovery to Ovation, is deeply personal to me. It is named in honor of my father, who I lost to overdose at only 8 years old. My journey is proof that even after loss, pain, and hardship, a legacy can be rebuilt through purpose, resilience, and the choice to create positive change.
To further my commitment and credibility, I have earned my Certificate in Clinical Addiction Studies, as well as my Masters of Social Work to equip me with the knowledge and skills to better understand addiction and continue fighting this crisis with compassion and education.
This is not simply a community service initiative for my time in the Miss America Opportunity — this is a lifelong calling. It is woven into my purpose, my education, and the work I hope to continue throughout my career.
I am honored to serve as an ambassador for Greene County THRIVES and to help support prevention efforts within my community. I also have had the privilege of teaching alcohol and drug education classes at Holston Home for Children, where I get to connect with youth and provide them with knowledge and tools to make healthy choices.
I have been able to take action by sharing my story and my message through various forms of media, including news interviews, The Greeneville Sun, and social media. Every opportunity to speak is a chance to reach someone who may need support, education, or a reminder that they are not alone.
Dance played a major role in my journey. Dance was a saving grace for me and showed me the power of having a positive outlet during life’s hardest moments. The positive influences I found through dance helped guide me toward a different path and inspired me to share that same impact with others. Now, as a dance teacher and choreographer, I use a more therapeutic approach in my teaching — focusing not only on technique, but also on confidence, emotional expression, resilience, and healthy coping skills.
My mission is to reduce the impact of addiction and prevent overdose by creating conversations, spreading awareness, and reminding others that hope and healing are possible. đź’š
