Some people are never going to truly understand who you are, your greatness, your potential, your purpose, your vision, your goals and where you are going... Stop wasting valuable time and energy trying to explain and move on to those who DO! It's that simple! Be happy, Be free and go after that dream and release without hindrance!!! Let's Go!! ~Leya Elijah-Eller~

This was a special day... Backstage selfies... moments before the show began... I was actually in a TON of pain and had passed out from the pain and exhaustion just hours before this.... But I pushed through... Because I had to show my kids and all those who look up to me and believe in me... "This Is What A Fighter Looks Like!" Who know I would end the night with a new crown? Representing Married and Mature women for the entire state! And I'm so honored to do that! XOXO!!!

Last week at Miss South Carolina Plus America 2017 Pageant... my Elegant Pantswear... I was SO nervous. Had to give them a little character... and sassiness to my walk. That's honestly NOT easy LOL... and turn in shoes that were slipping on the floor. BUT... I served it darlings!

So honored be crowned Mrs South Carolina Plus America 2017!
