Virtuous Victorious & Valued
YoU're A Teen Queen
Miss Jaelynn Smith is also being honored as one of our Teen Queenz! Jaelynn is the daughter of Lashonda Merchant - Addai & Travis Smith. of Minneapolis MN. Jaelynn is a 16 year old honor roll student at North High School in Minneapolis and is an inspiation to all those around her.
Jaelynn was nominated by Nedda Kellog, the Executive Director of Project DIVA, an organization that provides life coaching for girls. Ms. Kellog believes that Jaelynn deserves to stand in the spotlight as a Teen Queen because, "Young ladies who are doing all the right things are rarely recognized. This opportunity will confirm that she is on the right tack and will show that when you make amazing choices, amazing things happen to you!"
Jaelynn enjoys playing basketball, volleyball and participating in Project DIVA. She has big aspirations for the future! After high school, she plans to attend Savannah College of Art and Design to study photography.
"Nature is such a beautiful thing that the Earth holds," says Jaelynn. "As people living on this Earth, we should admire and respect
it. I want to show the world through magazines how beautiful nature is."
As if being a phenominal daughter of the King and a talented phtographer isn't enough, Jaelynn is also a poet! She authored a powerful poem about virginity that speaks to girls and women around the world. Be sure to read Jaelynn's poem on p. 8 . It was so awesome, we had to feature it on it's own page!
Jaelynn, you are living proof that Christian girls rock!!
Victorious
