God BLESS THE USA

Two-thousand nineteen (2019) witnessed an extraordinary milestone with the well-deserved victories of Cheslie Kryst as Miss USA and Kaliegh Garris as Miss Teen USA. Janell Hickman's compelling pitch to the team paved the way for a strategic plan to secure both champions for an exclusive photoshoot, to support the narrative.

This accomplishment reverberated within an evolving world where the pursuit of diversity and inclusion often felt like  a choice rather than a norm. The collective effort to spotlight and celebrate these exceptional women served as a powerful testament to the growing significance of representation and inclusivity in various spheres of influence.

A memorable morning was dedicated to capturing the elegance and intelligence of these trailblazing women, as they were styled in a range of red, white, and blue, perfectly mirroring the patriotic theme, "God Bless the USA." The photoshoot was a celebration of diversity, resilience, and the spirit of unity.
