Last night, one of my biggest dreams came true. I was crowned the the new MISS INDIA USA 2016 🇮🇳 🇺🇸 by @missindiaworldwide2016 . Now I have the honor of representing the USA at the 2017 Miss India Worldwide Pageant in Malaysia 🇲🇾. Walked in representing D.C., walked out representing the USA. God is GOOD. God is GREAT. (More pics to come but for now, here's the cutest boomerang that me and @missindiaworldwide2016 took last night 😘)
