Sahara Lane was recently accepted and plans to attend Indiana State University
starting in the fall of 2023. She will be majoring in Nursing with a minor in
Psychology. She currently is working at her local YMCA as one of the smiling
faces in the evenings at the welcome center as well as nannying an adorable
little girl during the day. In the summer she plans to be an RA at the same
summer camp she spent time at growing up.
Sahara was the third Ms to be crowned competing at her first pageant ever. How
is that for a legacy? Sahara is very excited to be a part of the American Elegance
Sisterhood.
As a titleholder Sahara’s platform is Mental Health with a focus on youth and
young adults because she wants young people to know that it is okay to not
always be okay. In today’s world it is becoming clearer that mental health
problems are starting earlier so we need to listen when someone tells us they
need help.
You will find Sahara in her community volunteering with hooves of hope, a non-
profit that strives to be the premier equine facility of central Illinois, providing
hope, love, and mentoring to youth and their families. As well as volunteering her
time at Hanging Rock Christian Camp over the years.
