My name is Ashleigh and I'm from Oklahoma! I am so honored to be representing my state and all of my supporters at Miss America's 100th anniversary competition. Even having lost more competitions than I've won, this organization has given me over $65,000 in scholarships and an immeasurable amount of self growth.
Coming from a background of diverse experiences and a diverse family has prepared me to serve this organization and our country in the best ways! I am biracial, and find that part of my identity has taught me so much about understanding those around me. My dad is a colonel in the Army, and has taught me so much about what it truly means to serve my country and community. And my youngest sister, Danielle, has Down Syndrome. Being her sister has taught me the importance of inclusion and seeing past what others might not be able to in my neighbor.
I am proud to share my Oklahoma values, talents, Social Impact Initiative of Inclusion for All Abilities, and my heart with America!
