It is with great honor that I share the news that LaQuisha Hall is the new Mrs. Maryland Galaxy!

This evening I attended the Maryland Galaxy pageant to support my friends Alicia blackstone and LaQuisha Hall in their respective divisions. Alicia was 2nd runner-up for the title of Ms. Maryland Galaxy.

Rachel Petty and Half Past Six Productions produced an out of this world show studded with entertainment stars such as Mikeal Shane, Miss District of Columbia 2006 Kate Michaels and others.

The judge's had a very hard time because almost every contestant on stage looked as if she was ready and able to represent the state at the international finals superbly.

My heart was in knots when it was time for crowning because I was hoping that my friends would have their dreams realized. Unfortunately, it was not Alicia's turn...as they say God has other plans for her. When it was time for the Mrs. division and the 2nd runner-up was called and only Nicole and LaQuisha were left standing my heart started pounding because I wanted my friend to win soooo badly. When I heard her name called as the eventually winner I felt as if I myself had won because I know all the hard work that LaQuisha did to get her crowning moment.

I am sooooo PROUD of LaQuisha because one can look at her journey this past year and see how far she has come. Last year at the Maryland Galaxy pageant LaQuisha did not place however through hard work, dedication and believing in her dream LaQuisha is now our Mrs. Maryland Galaxy.

Experiencing LaQuisha's journey to the Mrs. Maryland Galaxy throne inspires me to achieve my goal of becoming Mrs. International.
