I don’t even have the words… My heart is overflowing. This moment — this feeling — I wish I could live in it forever. I worked so hard, pushed myself past every limit, and poured every ounce of me onto that stage… and it all paid off. God is so good.
I am so emotional and deeply, deeply grateful for the people who stood beside me through this entire journey. I truly had an incredible team behind me — people who believed in me, guided me, supported me, and loved me through every high and every hard moment.
I’ll need days to thank every single person who played a role in this, but I have to start with the one and only… my coach Loleta Riley
A woman of structure, poise, honesty, and heart. You believed in me from day one. You pushed me, protected me, and poured so much of yourself into my success. I am endlessly grateful that life aligned our paths. Thank you for seeing something in me before I even saw it myself.
To Jodi Riley-Ejimonyeugwo 🇯🇲🇳🇬| Fitness Coach , my posing coach — thank you for your patience, your precision, and your belief in me. You perfected every angle and helped me walk on that stage with confidence I’ve never felt before. I hope I made you proud up there.
To my mother, who flew in all the way from the D.R. and surprised me 🥹🤍 😭 I am nothing without you. Thank you for loving me through every chapter and reminding me to always stay humble and gracious. You’ve always told me I didn’t need to do too much to command presence… that I was born with it. I carried those words with me on stage.
