Posted @withregram • @vanessavandyke So, today kicks of the social media challenge for Miss Georgia USA. This first post of mine will get personal, but that’s ok. It is #thankfulthursday, and I would love to share one of the things I am most thankful for in my life. It’s called growth. Spoiler alert🚨:I wasn’t always this confident. I didn’t always portray what you see on this cover photo, it took me a long time, and a long journey to get to where I am today. Please slide through each photo, as this will show you the point where I was at rock bottom all the way up until now, where I’ve grown into the woman I am today. Even though I was smiling in some of these photos as a 12 year old girl, I was depressed. All of you already know what I’ve been through as a 12-year-old girl going through discrimination. These photos were taken around the time of this occurrence. I was shy, lacked self-esteem, and was even self-harming myself shortly after the hair story came out. I was the “awkward girl” in school and considered myself not like the crowd, or following the crowd. I remember my first, “Bring Out the Dolls” event I hosted alongside with @erickadunlap in 2013, I could barely speak infront of the crowd in attendance because I was super shy and HATED public speaking. I always tell my mom, “I really came a long way since then.” She always tells me how proud she is of me, and how I was able to overcome something so traumatic in my life as a girl who was still trying to figure out who she was. I am proud of me too, and I am still growing. This is only the beginning of my journey, and I am so thankful for how much I’ve grown throughout the years. @greenwoodproductions #thankful #pageantryreimagined #missgeorgiausa #missgausa #missuniverse #missusa #growth https://www.instagram.com/p/CaGEHKhFWDC/?utm_medium=tumblr
