Flatbush Farmshare Summer Celebration

On a beautiful sunny day, June 8th, I had the opportunity to run a booth with Miss Five Boroughs, Kate Perkins at the annual Flatbush Farmshare. We were able to talk about her platform on the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. We were able to get signatures to get congress to ban products that use toxic ingredients. Make-up that we put on our face should be safe, not toxic!

For more information about Kate's platform you can visit her website:

I was also able to have a mini interview with the cameraman, Dave to talk about my platform, Y.E.S-Youth Engaged in Service. Where through out my year of service I have been encouraging other teens like me to give back to their community. One thing I always keep in mind "Teens who engage in service are less likely to be involved in sexual promiscuity,  take part in gang violence, or be abused by drugs. So why not engage in service?"

New York Aids Walk 2011

(L-R) Miss Five Boroughs 2011- Kate Perkins, Miss Kings County 2011- Carmen Mendoza,  Miss NY's Teen 2010- Alison Stroming and myself.

On May 15th, 2011 I took part in the Aids walk with fellow Miss New York contestants, my brother and my friends. Each and every year New Yorker's walk to honor those who continue to fight, embrace new allies, remember loved ones lost, and work to realize a future without AIDS.  This year alone 45,000 walkers raised $6.2 million for the 26th annual AIDS Walk. Last year was my first time taking part in the Aids walk with my fellow classmates. Ever since then I have made it a priority to try my best and take part in this walk each and every year that I can. Looks like I have been living up to this goal already :)

After the walk we forgot about the LONG train ride home back to Brooklyn, lol. Indeed, my friend Michael got us good! The picture says it all, haha.

The Brooklyn Prom + Scholarship Project

Each and every year there is a senior whether in elementary, middle, or high school that thrives to go to their prom. Unfortunately, some are not able to attend due to high expenses that come along with this special occasion. To allow some to be able to still attend their proms, several people donate their gently used gowns, shoes and accessories to help these people out. Everyone was able to choose from over 400 dresses to find the right one for them, tons of cosmetics, accessories, hair/makeup lessons and enjoy tasty teats. Thanks to Bernice Malone for putting together this organization which changes hundreds of youth's lives each year!
