Shift 1 of 4 complete. 🎈💜👑

This morning, our Queen Academy & Thriving Kings students were up bright and early serving at the Great Texas Balloon Race, and we could not be more proud of the way they represented our organization and community.

At Longview Queens United, we believe leadership is built through service, consistency, teamwork, and integrity. Watching our Queens and Kings willingly show up early with positive attitudes and servant hearts is a reminder that the future is bright. ☀️✨

Thank you to the City of Longview for inviting our young leaders to be a part of such an incredible community event. Opportunities like these allow our students to grow, connect, and put leadership into action.

We are proud to continue rebuilding the reign one act of service at a time. 💜

We had a vision.. the calls were made and these amazing souls responded..

Everyone walked in asking, “What can I do?”—and then they did it. Everyone embraced the theme. Everyone stepped in wherever they were needed. As little fires sprang up throughout the evening, people quietly and graciously put them out.

This year has been challenging for all of us, but we were determined not to let our young people feel the winds of the storm blowing through. We wanted them to experience joy, celebration, and the love of a village that believes in them.

The people in these photos are living examples of what it means to be the village it takes to raise a child. They serve, sacrifice, encourage, and show up—again and again—because they understand that our children are worth it.

Last night was beautiful because of the hearts behind it.

💜✨ A village built on love, service, and purpose can accomplish remarkable things. So proud of our team!

The Royal Ball was a beautiful celebration of leadership, growth, sisterhood, brotherhood, and legacy as we welcomed new Pearl Queens and Thriving Kings into our leadership families while saying “see you later” to our beloved Diamond Queens as they prepare for their next chapter.

The story of the Queendom continues. 💜

Thank you to our amazing Chairwomen Dr. Kay Holmes and Toshia Banks for another job well done. Special thank for all the Queens and Kings Family for serving and supporting with love!

Yesterday was Queens Day, and it was such a beautiful reminder of the power of sisterhood. 💜

We were so happy to have Hashlee back with us. While she still has a long journey ahead, we are incredibly grateful to God for how far He has already brought her. Our upperclassman Nadia initiated and organized a sweet get well basket to surprise Hashlee and remind her just how loved she is.

JaHaria, Addison, and Zion did an incredible job organizing and leading our meeting centered on leadership and sisterhood. From heartfelt conversations to prayer and connection, it was a truly sweet time as they welcomed and poured into their new sisters with love and grace.

Honestly, yesterday just felt good. It felt like we were getting our umph back and truly rebuilding the reign together. Watching these young ladies lead, love, serve, and connect so intentionally made my heart full. I really do feel like a proud mama watching them grow into who God is calling them to be. 👑
