Little Miss Lumbee 2012-2013
Liliana Locklear
Hi
everyone, I am your 2012-2013 Little Miss Lumbee, Liliana Jade Locklear. I am
the 5 year old daughter of Christopher and Jada Locklear of Pembroke, NC. I am
also the proud big sissy of Miss Madalynn Kris Locklear. This year, I will be
starting Kindergarten which I am very excited about.
This title would not have been possible without a lot of people who
loved and supported me on my journey to be your Little Miss Lumbee. First, I
would like to thank Jesus Christ for giving me the ability and opportunity to
be in the pageant. I would also like to thank everyone who didn’t stop
believing in me, even when I broke my arm 3 weeks before the pageant, sorry
mom! This year has already been amazing, thanks to three special girls and
their families. Ciena, Kayla, and Courtney I believe that God put us all
together for a special reason, you girls are amazing and I couldn’t ask for
better sisters.
I have learned
so much about my culture from my mentor Mrs. Millicent Clark, and from
attending powwows all across the state. I can’t wait to share my culture and
knowledge with other people. My platform this year will be “Connecting
Generations”, Not only do us as young people need to visit our elders and
learn from them; also our caring adults and elders need to be in the lives of
our young people. You would be
surprised what you can learn from a little child like me. My goal is encourage
other children to chase their dreams no matter their circumstances.
I’m sure this year will be amazing, and I will do everything in my power as a 5 year old to represent my Lumbee people with dignity and grace. Please keep me in your prayers and continue to support me in my journey this year as your Little Miss Lumbee!
Thank You,
Liliana Jade Locklear
