Had the opportunity to interview for Miss USA today. I feel at peace knowing I have put in the work to develop into the truest form of myself. I’ve learned the importance of embracing who I am. Im here to represent Texans, Filipina-Americans, and those who push past self doubt to reach their greatest potential. This outfit I designed with my parents in mind-tying in the flower patterns from my moms wedding dress and a Filipina traditional Maria Clara collar shape. #pageantryreimagined #roadtomissusa #mariaclara #pinaypride #laban #misstexasusa
