Thank you to Post University for having me last night for an incredible evening of poetry and storytelling. I had the opportunity to read poems from my book, Naked in Public, while telling the stories behind the poems and having important conversations about identity, abuse, and activism. Thank you to the English Department and the LGBTQ+ Affinity Group for having me, and a special thank you to Lucia Dressel for organizing the event and supporting me.

Tonight I’m speaking at Central Connecticut State University’s “Take Back The Night” virtual event, and next week I’m keynoting at the National Political Science Honor Society induction ceremony at Western Connecticut State University. And don’t forget about my panel with the Cyber Abuse Task Force of New York City at the end of the month! There’s lots happening and I’m grateful to be freelancing while continuing to work in the tech industry.

TLDR; the work isn’t over. It’s just begun. Stay tuned.

I want to give a shoutout to my good friend and our Miss Congeniality Sierra O’Keefe. Sierra is the epitome of grace, class, and kindness. I love her and her family, who allowed me to share several meals with them throughout the week, very much! Thank you Sierra for your friendship and congratulations on your well-deserved award 💖

My dear friend. Last year in our hotel room, you told me that it was going to be me and you holding hands as the Top 2 candidates and that one of us would be Miss Connecticut. Last year wasn’t our year, but when it finally happened today it was the most incredible full circle moment of our friendship. You were the first person I called when I considered getting involved in the Miss America Organization, and you’ve supported me whole heartedly from the very beginning. I couldn’t imagine sharing the beautiful moment we experienced together tonight with anyone else. Witnessing you achieve your dream is something I will never forget. I am tremendously proud of you and cannot wait to champion you this year. Thank you for being a champion for victims of violence and abuse. The world needs the love you provide. I love you.

Check out this beautiful class of empowered candidates ✨ I’m incredibly inspired by each of these women doing bold, important work in their communities and advocating for issues that matter most to them. They’re kind, they’re talented, they’re extremely funny — and they’re all worthy of great things and bright futures.

This afternoon we kick off our interview phase of competition, and I’m wishing all of my friends tremendous success in speaking their truths and conveying their stories to the judges.

Supporting each other never gets old. Pass it on.

I’m feeling exhilarated heading into rehearsal at the Cabaret Theatre. Last night’s arrival ceremony was an awesome opportunity to reconnect with friends (like my friend ) and learn more about the week ahead. I’m ready to head into rehearsals representing the trans community on my chest and in my heart 🏳️‍⚧️

Thank you to for having us and being so accommodating this week.

Let’s do this! 💪🏼💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿

And we’re off ✨ My dad and I have packed up the car and are en route to for the competition! I’m feeling an overwhelming sense of pride, joy, and excitement as we prepare for the 93rd to be crowned this weekend — a moment that I never envisioned I would be a part of if you had asked me 10 years ago.

Before rehearsals and competition week get in full swing, I wanted to take a moment to thank all those who have helped me prepare and hone my skills for this moment. Whether you helped me with a mock interview, donated to my Spotfund fundraiser, purchased an ad, or let me call you to talk through my excitement, I am incredibly grateful for the time and energy you’ve given me and the support you’ve shown me. The number of supportive messages I have received throughout the year from both friends and strangers has been staggering, and I am overwhelmed by your graciousness and belief in my mission and my values.

I’ll be checking in throughout the week and can’t wait to let you in on the behind the scenes of this historic competition.

Until then, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

“I am deliberate and afraid of nothing.”

Let’s do this.

Tomorrow, I leave for the competition at Mohegan Sun. Today is a day for reflection and gratitude. Please, share a cup of coffee with me as I talk through some of the emotions that I’m feeling as I mark 10 years since my first time competing as a teen in the Miss Connecticut Scholarship Organization.

I’ll let this video speak for itself, but I could not be more grateful for your support and for the ability and privilege to make a dream that my younger self didn’t dare to dream come to fruition. I’m honored to represent the LGBTQ+ community and all those who have felt historically marginalized as my full, authentic self.

I’ll see you tomorrow, my friends 💖🦋

Feeling strong and confident after speaking on Australian news for the first time this morning!

, Australia’s most watched news network, had me on their daily podcast this morning to discuss my experience with tech-based abuse. You can listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts!

I’ve had the honor of speaking internationally before on primetime television and in print, but it’s always incredible to tell my story in a new country — especially on a network with millions of daily viewers. I’ve been blessed with so many cool opportunities to facilitate social change on the subject of tech abuse.

Speaking on the global news circuit professionally has prepared me for the job of by equipping me with the skills to convey my message and tell my story to citizens around the world. I’ve never been more prepared to interview for the job of , and to head into a year of interviews and press opportunities that will move the needle to and stomp out internet harassment.

Thank you for having me!
