I still can’t believe this is real life! I am Danielle Mullins, your 2022 Miss Kentucky Earth USA! 😭😭 This is a title I have dreamed of for years, even before I first competed last year! I have watched this system and knew I wanted to be apart of the change they were creating. Since competing last year I have been nose to the grind! My blood, sweat, and tears have gone into being awarded this title. Seriously- check the ankle straps on my pageant shoes! This title is not something I alone could accomplish. It truly takes a village and I am so grateful for mine! Thank you to @mariamontgomery for helping me perfect my routines. I’ve never been so excited to work a runway! Thank you to @empowered_pageant_coaching for helping me break through my own limiting beliefs. For showing me it’s completely okay to be myself on the stage and in the interview room. I was so nervous to embark on a 6 hour total road trip but God knew what he was doing with that sponsored instragram ad! @tiffanyhporter... Where do I even begin! You taught me to take control of a room and to make sure the judges saw my heart. Thank you for meeting with me morning of and making sure I was 100% ready. Thank you @jacedfit for guiding me on my fitness journey and making sure I felt my absolute best on that stage. And for coming to watch me! It means the world! To my family- your endless support in all of my endeavors is greatly appreciated! I was nervous to come back into pageantry but with your alls support it was an easy transition 🖤 To my friends, Wow!! I’ve never had so much support at a pageant before in my LIFE! I can’t even put it into words that you all made sure you could be there for me! 😭 And to those that couldn’t that have cheered me on along the way, I know you were there in spirit 🖤 Thank you to my family at @cookstudioky, Michael, Joni, Jim, and @exclusivelychampayne 🥺😭 You all have picked me up when I’m down, made sure I was ready for competition, and of course that I had perfect images. I could not have done this without all of you! Thank you all for everything! 😭 and thank you @moda_chic_photography_ for the crowning shots!
