Wow, what an amazing year this title has brought me. God always places you exactly where you're meant to be, and that is exactly what happened when I was crowned Miss Grand Prairie 2026.
First, I want to thank Jesus for giving me the opportunity to serve the Grand Prairie region. This year has allowed me to visit schools, build new partnerships, and most importantly, make memories that will last a lifetime.
To my family and friends, thank you for loving me, praying for me, and supporting me every step of this journey. I truly would not be standing here today without you. I love y'all more than you will ever know.
To my sister queens—Avery, Hagan, and Sawyer Ann—thank you for making this year so special. Avery, thank you for always bringing the joy and laughter. Hagan, thank you for always welcoming me and my family with open arms and always showing the love of Christ. Sawyer Ann, thank you for loving me like family. There are truly not enough words to express how grateful I am for each of you, and I'll forever cherish our memories together.
To my diamonds—Elle, Leia, Jordan, and Jenna—thank you for the laughter, the memories, and truly making this year so special. It has been an absolute honor to share the stage with each of you, and I will cherish our moons backstage together. Thank you for being the perfect diamonds.
Rachel, thank you for being the most incredible executive director. You have always been by my side through it all. No matter the time or the reason, you were always there to lend a helping hand or even just a shoulder to cry on. Thank you so much, and although I may not be your titleholder anymore, you will always be family.
To everyone who has supported me throughout this incredible year, serving as your Miss Grand Prairie 2026 has truly been an honor of a lifetime.
For the last time, I am your Miss Grand Prairie 2026, Toribeth Poland.
