To my Miss New Jersey International successor, roomie, and sister queen, @missnjintl: I am so incredibly proud of you for placing as 2nd Runner-Up in the entire world at the Miss International 2021 Pageant. You truly shined all week, almost as much as your evening gown ๐
โจ Taking the @intlpageants stage together was nothing short of amazing. Being there for each other backstage, whether it was to help put each otherโs outfits on or for emotional support, was the absolute best. Thank you for all the late night heart-to-hearts, putting up with the sound machine I sleep with, and allowing me to borrow your heels without hesitation when the 10+ options I had did not work with my Tuesday night outfit ๐ Simply put, thank you for being such an awesome @njinternationalpageant sister queen. I am so proud to know you and call you a dear friend. ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐: @constantine_james โ๏ธ: @glowinhoneytans18 ๐: @marshalls @crowningaround_ @ashleylauren @rachelallan @mswomannjinternational2021 @clarissedesigns ๐: @lovisajewellery @happylittlebeast ๐ : @boohoo @chineselaundry @benjaminwalkshoes . . . #njintlpageants #intlpageants #newjerseyinternationalpageants #internationalpageants #roadtomissinternational #2021intlcountdown #missinternational #missintl2021 #missgardenstateinternational #pageant #jerseystrong #jerseygirl #oceancounty #pointmetothebeach #pointpleasantbeach #1in5frombulliedtohealed #antibullying #cyberbullying #bullyingprevention #stopbullying #bullyingawareness #humanbeingmankind #stand4kind #countdowntothecrown #pageant #sisterhood #thankful #grateful #blessed (at MeadowView Conference Resort & Convention Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSVO54PLUCt/?utm_medium=tumblr

To the Deepika to my Gina, @missintl2021/@missilintl, I love you so much and am so happy @intlpageants brought us together to become sisters for life. I would not have wanted to experience 3:30 AM hair and makeup sessions almost every day alongside anyone else! I am so proud of you for winning the Miss International 2021 crown with a quiet strength of class, character, regality, and integrity. I still am laughing over how much we were โtwinningโ during pageant week between being placed next to each other for our interview and stage lineups, sitting together on the bus, and wearing very similar outfits nearly all the time. I cannot wait to see how you will lead our sisterhood this year with your platform, โWorld for Water.โ Please give this amazing and inspiring queen a follow on your social media platforms! ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐: @constantine_james โ๏ธ: @glowinhoneytans18 ๐: @parkavenuesouth @sherrihill @marshalls @jillianpaigespano @squandrygoods @julimeiboutique ๐: @happylittlebeast @constantine_james @lovisajewellery ๐ : @benjaminwalkshoes @boohoo @shoedazzle . . . #njintlpageants #intlpageants #newjerseyinternationalpageants #internationalpageants #roadtomissinternational #2021intlcountdown #missinternational #missintl2021 #missgardenstateinternational #pageant #jerseystrong #jerseygirl #oceancounty #pointmetothebeach #pointpleasantbeach #1in5frombulliedtohealed #antibullying #cyberbullying #bullyingprevention #stopbullying #bullyingawareness #humanbeingmankind #stand4kind #countdowntothecrown #pageant #sisterhood #thankful #grateful #blessed (at MeadowView Conference Resort & Convention Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSPPsPzr5NI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Recently, I had the absolute honor and pleasure of meeting with Mr. Steve Ackerman, a Legislative Director at the United States House of Representatives. Together, we planted the seed of my initiative to expand bullying prevention education to students in schools nationally. This effort has been a decade-long ambition of mine, and I am so excited to be collaborating with members of our state and federal government to make it a reality. Stay tuned for more updates along this special journey as this campaign continues to grow. If you were bullied or are a parent of a victim of bullying and would like to get involved in this crusade within the 1 in 5: From Bullied to Healed movement, please comment below or message me directly ๐ . . . #njintlpageants #intlpageants #newjerseyinternationalpageants #internationalpageants #roadtomissinternational #2021intlcountdown #missinternational #missintl2021 #missgardenstateinternational #pageant #jerseystrong #jerseygirl #oceancounty #pointmetothebeach #pointpleasantbeach #1in5frombulliedtohealed #antibullying #cyberbullying #bullyingprevention #stopbullying #bullyingawareness #humanbeingmankind #stand4kind #initiative #effort #campaign #movement #education #clubs #safespace (at United States House of Representatives) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQwilkSrjrh/?utm_medium=tumblr

Wow, wow, WOW! What a wonderful weekend it was at the Point Pleasant Beach Offshore Grand Prix, sponsored by Jersey Mike's Subs ๐ค๐๐ Between seeing the race boats up-close during Fridayโs Block Party, being featured in Saturdayโs Boat Parade, and presenting the awards at Sundayโs Race Day, I felt as if I was floating on a cloud...and still do. Having experienced this event in my hometown for the past 27 years (with the exception of last year due to COVID-19), it was a dream come true to have been asked to play an integral role in it this year. Thank you to Mayor Paul Kanitra, Steve DeJacimo, and so many others for giving me this opportunity. Thank you to the Smith Brothers Offshore Racing Team for making me an honorary team member as I rode with them on their boat during the parade. Thank you to the many โ1-in-5erโsโ from around the United States who connected with me throughout the weekend. It is because of you all that I work diligently every day to advocate for bullying prevention across the country. Finally, thank you to my family and dear friends, Terri DiGennaro, John Henry, and Jimmy Fanizzi, for going out of your ways to support me throughout this weekend. I love you all with all of my heart! I will never forget this incredibly special weekend, and cannot wait to help make the Point Pleasant Beach Offshore Grand Prix grow next year and beyond. . . . #njintlpageants #intlpageants #newjerseyinternationalpageants #internationalpageants #roadtomissinternational #missinternational #missintl2021 #missgardenstateinternational #pageant #jerseystrong #jerseygirl #oceancountystrong #oceancounty #pointbeachstrong #pointpleasantbeach #1in5frombulliedtohealed #antibullying #cyberbullying #bullyingprevention #stopbullying #bullyingawareness #humanbeingmankind #stand4kind #pointmetothebeach #offshoregrandprix #jerseymikes #boatrace #raceboat #parade #tradition (at Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQIGd6GHARU/?utm_medium=tumblr
