Utah Film Awards

Before you scroll through this blog post, I want everyone to know that this is not necessarily an event for me to write up much about because it was all confusing & ended up being an experience that I do know will never forgotten. I am grateful for the opportunities that will give me chances to advocate & inspire others like myself to know we can do hard things, regardless of whatever that may be. I am so looking forward to an unforgettable journey with all of the other queens and getting to share so many memories alongside such great people. 

Red Carpet Photos:

I don't want to share any of the other pictures that will get taken throughout this year and only due to the fact none of them belong to me whatsoever. I really didn't know any of the other girls who were with us expect for the those who participated in helping out at the pageant we had the weekend prior to this event. It was super fun getting photos taken of us and having to be the center of attention, even though it was more about the people who were there for the award ceremony getting an night that all of them would always remember. 

Handing Tickets & Awards:

It was certainly quite a routine for me to learn all of these new things, but I really liked getting to do whatever I could to be of assistance. I definitely had never expected this to be my first appearance as the brand new 2019 Utah Miss Amazing Miss Queen, but I know it was an incredible experience for all of us involved & getting to share it with so many amazing people was a treat. All of us were just asked to wait at the doors and looking pretty while anxiously waiting for the ceremony to officially begin. 

Mini Interviews:

Me and the other queen from my pageant were asked with being interviewed on what our personal goals for being the 2019 Utah Miss Amazing Queens are. I really want to continue a push for self advocacy and letting those with disabilities have their voices heard, because I know for me getting opportunities to speak with lots of people on how I could make this world a better place. It was just slightly awkward for me to do interviews when I had never officially done that before, but I do feel proud of myself for having given it a shot if you ask me!!! We also got our photos taken backstage which I didn't quite expect during an event like this one, but I will truly never forget it and hope for other chances to let people know who I am and not being afraid to express that in different ways. It was truly an amazing experience and cannot wait for more opportunities to show up during my year as one of the queens!!!
