Greetings from Rene'e Dye- Ms. American Elegance Sophisticate 2025-26

A native of the LoneStar State. Temple, Tx is my home but currently residing in
Killeen, Tx for the last 9 years. I love my state but it is one of the few states with
the most confused weather yet very hot summers.

I am the mother of 2 daughters a 31 year old the other is 19 year old one
granddaughter who is 6 years old and autistic she is the highlight of my life and
the reason for my platform Autism Awareness "No One Left Behind".

With that being said I am an advocate for all children no matter race, creed or
color. I currently work with the youth at Mt. Zion Baptist Church of Temple, Tx
where I am the lithurgical/mime director of Divine Angels and L.E.G.A.C.Y. Not
only do I work with them I also work with the youth in my community under the
guidance of Marcus Banks/4thekidsentertainment. We do back to school drives,
Easter egg hunts, 2nd chance proms and whatever the community can do to keep the kids off the street and in a positive atmosphere.

Outside of working with children I do have a few charities I contribute to. American Heart Association, Autism Speaks as well as the Susan G. Koman for the Cure.
Each one is dear to me as I have a family member that falls into each category. A
Brother who is now deceased, my granddaughter and my cousin who is a breast
cancer survivor. With these organizations I learned not to take life for granted.

Pageantry became my life for myself 9 years. I have loved it it from day one the
sisterhood is what continues to draw me to it. The various systems I have
competed in shows me that no matter your size, color, win or lose, every woman is a queen. With that at I represent Ms. American Elegance Sophisticate 2025-26 I will carry on that sisterhood in my community and let them know size isn't the end it is the beginning and staying health is a plus.
