    As a pageant fan and contestant I’ve followed Deshauna since she won Miss USA. But WOW the deep dive, obstacles, and lessons she learned truly touched me. As someone who struggles with seeking validation I appreciate her vulnerability and openness to her year. Thank you for being my inspiration
