Humbleness, grace, kindness, a heart for service and duty straightening another queens crown being, happy for your sister queens when they win in any and all victories they may achieve during thier reign
6.- Are you aware of being an influential woman for thousands of girls who want to be models? How important is it to you to be an idol for many girls and teenagers?
It is very important for me to be an example to young women and girls, because I’m in a wheelchair I’m able to show the world that no matter what challenges you may face in your life, you can be strong confident and successful, you can travel model in New York Fashion Week, compete in pageants, even began your own National projects or Organization anything I’d possible if you believe in the power of yourself

The first time I found myself in front of the camera I found the freedom to be me. I discovered the power of feeling beautiful and knowing I was worthy knowing. I had value modeling has given me confidence something someone once had power over but never will again
8.- What do you think about the power of social media today?
Social Media can have positives and negatives, especially when it comes to bullying confidence and someone’s self esteem. For me as a survivor of Domestic Violence and a Public Awareness Advocate I’ve even delt with hecklers but today I no longer give any one or thier negative words power over me

I have created pages like the Loya Project Survivors of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault and Freetobetruetoyou as a way of connecting me to Women from around the country.

11.- What important lessons have you learned from the world of fashion and beauty pageants?
Modeling and pageantry has made me take an honest look at myself and accept that I can’t expect to look perfect everyday and not every photo of me will make it onto the cover of magazines and that it’s my imperfections that make me who I am weather I’m in a couture gown sweats or a T shirt I’m still beautiful and I’m still me
12.- Sally , being a beauty queen for you has been easy? Were there obstacles?How did you overcome obstacles?
Because I’m in a wheelchair certain things like the pageant stages and runways have to be sometimes altered with access via a wheelchair ramp for my safety but being disabled hasn’t stopped me from competing or achieving my dreams of a title. I never see myself as any different from my pageant sisters, I compete in all areas of competition just as they do
13.- Have you thought about being an actress? Do you like the entertainment industry?
Being an actress and bringing diversity as a person with a disability to the entertainment industry would be a dream come true. I’m confident and comfortable speaking and sharing my story in small or large groups. I love modeling and being in front of the cameras and in front of the media raising awareness and public speaking is what I do best
14.- Worldwide, women have acquired a greater role even though there are societies where they are still abused. What is your opinion of the role of women in the future in these societies?
It is an unfortunate fact that Women are being abused all over the world and that there are some countries, where woman are at an even greater risk of being abused missing or murdered but women today are beginning to take a stand beginning to break thier silence in an effort to take back thier power and thier lives and I’m so proud of them
15.- Sally , what is your motivation and what do you feel grateful for every day?
My motivation comes from others who have experienced and survived domestic violence and sexual assault and have turned thier pain into purpose, it’s now my mission in life to help others not only survive but thrive and live a life of safety happiness and freedom from thier abusers
I’m greatfull and thankful to God for allowing me to survive so that I can wake up everyday and do the work I was meant to do in order to help others
16.- Sally , Do you like to travel? What countries do you know? What other countries would you like to know and which places do you recommend to visit from USA?
I enjoy traveling I’m very social and love speaking with and meeting people. I’m not afraid to try new foods or experience new things, some places are not easily accessible when your disabled but you learn to adapt and work around them.
