Quality of Life Scholar 🍎🍽️
Last night at our Kick Off to the Crown Bingo event, I was awarded the Quality of Life Scholarship!!
This is a $1,500 scholarship awarded based on my Community Service Initiative: Plate It Forward!
As a top three finalist, I participated in an interview with a panel of judges. This interview wasn’t just about what I said, it was about the actions I have taken.
✔️ My TikTok platform and cooking content focused on reducing food waste
✔️ Research and conversations with grocery stores like Walmart, Dillons, and Dollar General
✔️ Building connections with organizations like Harvesters
✔️ Coordinating food drives
✔️ Educating youth through interactive activities
✔️ Sparking conversations on social media to spread awareness
✔️ Learning from community leaders, food banks, and organizations already doing the work
✔️ Turning conversations into action through community service and outreach
Plate It Forward has never just been an idea, it has been built through action. I am incredibly grateful for the scholarships this organization provides to young women who take ACTION!
Once again, thank you Miss Kansas Organization!!
