This was my second year competing at Nationa Elite. Last year I did not capture55555 the crown But I loved the system, the directors, and the girls so much I just had to try again. I'm so glad I did! I am a national queen! :) Crystal, the national director, did such a good job making the national pageant first class even during the COVID crisis that made it virtual. They also provide many opportunities for me to bond with my sister queens during the year. At National Elite, your experience does not end as soon as you are crowned. They are dedicated to providing me with a year of experiences, opportunities to serve, and fun. I just love them so much!!!
