Hello everyone,
It feels surreal that a year has gone by since I started serving as Miss Vietnam Wichita 2025 Second Princess.
I think back to the vulnerability of the pageant. I wondered if I was ready. Baring my soul on stage, fighting my insecurities about not being fluent or being โVietnamese enoughโโฆ I think about how electric it was to stand in front of the community, friends, family, and strangersโproving to myself that I could do it. I almost wish I could relive it every week.
๐๐จ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐๐: From meetings, tasks, and showing up at our events, you have done so much that the public doesnโt see. I am deeply grateful for all of you; thank you for your hard work!

๐๐จ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ญ: Step into this role with humility, poise, integrity, and purpose. Remember your why, lean on your community, and know that this year will be what you make of it, so put in as much effort as you can to make it your best. The MVNW legacy is behind you always.

It was about allowing myself to take up space, learn, and show up as I am. ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐๐ฒ ๐ง๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ, ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐๐จ ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ. Do it scared. Do it through the doubts. Do it not because you are perfect, but because you are willing to grow.
I am forever grateful for this unforgettable opportunity. Thank you for the privilege of living it.
With immense gratitude, humility, and love,
