Posted • 04|07 Pt.1 After taking some time to truly soak it all in, it has finally sunk in, & my heart is so full of gratitude.✨
A new chapter has begun, and with it comes a dream fulfilled. Being crowned is not just a milestone, it is the start of a purposeful journey. This moment represents years of dedication, faith, & the unwavering love and support I’ve received along the way. As I embrace this new role, I do so with deep gratitude for everyone who stood beside me through it all.
To my mom and sister .lamola , words will never be enough. From the very beginning, you have been my safe place, my motivators, and my biggest cheerleaders. You’ve seen me through every high and low, sacrificed your time, your energy, & your love so I could chase this dream fearlessly. Thank you for never letting me give up on myself, for reminding me of my worth, & for loving me unconditionally. This crown belongs to you just as much as it belongs to me. 🤍
To from , my incredible social media manager & friend for the past 2/3 years. Thank you for your dedication, your creative vision, & for never missing a beat. You’ve helped me tell my story with elegance and purpose, always making sure I was seen and heard even when I couldn’t be everywhere at once. Thank you for staying up late, editing, planning, & standing with me behind the scenes. Your consistency and loyalty have been the heartbeat of my online presence & beyond, & I’m so lucky to have you by my side. You’re the best overall Manager anyone could ever ask for. The words “Thank You” could never be enough My Shayla!
To , my public speaking coach, you are a gift. Your patience, your grace, & your ability to see potential where I once saw doubt has transformed me. You didn’t just teach me how to speak, or present myself. You reminded me who I am at my core. Thank you for listening, for pushing me gently but firmly, and for always showing up for me with understanding and care. You’ve helped me unlock a version of myself that I didn’t know existed. 💐
