“As Miss Fort Thomas, I had to pay tribute to our local fallen angels. Each one of their passings touched my heart in a unique way – as I have many things in common with each of them. I have put off the dream of competing for Miss Kentucky for many years. Something about Lilliana’s dream board set my soul on fire and I knew that chasing my dream had to come – now or never.”
Leslie is also seeking support for the People’s Choice award! You can vote for her by following this link.Â
