Vegas, Friendship, and the Power of Showing Up

There’s something undeniably electric about Las Vegas—but this trip wasn’t about the lights, the shows, or the sparkle (okay, maybe a little sparkle). I headed to Vegas for one reason that matters most to me: showing up for a friend as she took the Mrs. World stage.
Pageantry has a beautiful way of turning competitors into sisters. Watching someone you admire step into her purpose on a global stage is humbling, emotional, and deeply inspiring. Being in the audience—cheering loudly, tearing up proudly, and soaking in every moment—was a reminder that crowns are powerful, but community is everything.
Mrs. World isn’t just a competition; it’s a celebration of women who lead with heart, resilience, and grace. I’m so grateful I could be there, not as a titleholder, but as a friend—because sometimes the most meaningful role we play is simply being present. And trust me, Vegas has never felt more full of heart. 💫
