QUOTATIONS
“I’ve You should be unique, you should be confident, and that's how people remember who you are. You have to be willing to share who you are and your story." - - Vanessa Williams (First Black) Miss America 1984.
"When voices in your life beat you down, telling you that you don't measure up, You're not good enough! You don't have what it takes. You're second best. There are moments when you're going to want to give up. Set-backs, failures, and fatigue impact us all. Face your defeat and disappointment, and ultimately, you will have victory beyond measure." Debbie Turner Bell -- Miss America 1990
