Contestants Statement

Heritage is a gift from our ancestors that should be embraced and cherished.

I feel truly blessed that in addition to my African-American heritage, I also share a heritage and culture with my beautiful Indian family, as a Trinidadian and Tobagonian woman. Thank you to @heritagecollectionbyash for giving me the opportunity to model these beautiful designs and experience my Bollywood moment.

Tomorrow is the first day of competition for the Miss D.C. USA crown. I’m so excited to interview and compete on stage for my dream job!!!!
Thank you to my village of supporters for helping me get this far. I want to dedicate my performance this weekend to my mother— I wouldn’t be the woman I am today without her love
