“Shiemicka introduced me to pageantry seven years ago, and I fell in love with it. Sports were never quite my thing.  I discovered pageantry and found something I absolutely love! I am so thankful to Shiemicka for getting me involved in my first pageant. She has helped me with every single pageant I have ever done. I can always look out into the audience and see her cheering me on. Thanks to Shiemicka, I have grown so much in pageantry over the past seven years and am looking forward to growing even more. Shiemicka has taught me that success in pageantry does not always come right away, but if you stay persistent, you will accomplish what you set out to achieve.”
