ALYSSA MAWYER
MISS VIRGINIA TEEN USA 2021

18 | BROADWAY | 3RD RUNNER-UP 2019

Alyssa is from Broadway, Virginia and graduated from Broadway High School this past June. This fall, she'll be starting her studies at Randolph-Macon College to start her journey to becoming a labor and delivery nurse.

In addition to being a runner-up at Miss VA Teen USA 2019 Alyssa has held a number of titles in other pageant systems including winning Miss High School America 2019. Throughout her journey in pageantry, Alyssa has found a huge passion for giving back to her community and putting an end to bullying. A few organizations that are super close to her heart are Special Olympics Virginia, Miss Wheelchair Virginia, and Miss Abilities. Helping those in the special needs community is something that is so important to her and she has met some of her closest friends through these organizations.

In 2018, Alyssa created an initiative called Celebrate Differences that works to combat bullying before it begins, through self-love and acceptance. She has been able to reach over 5,000 students nationwide and that number is continuing to grow. Within the last year, she has worked countless hours perfecting her program and making it as impactful as possible. Whereas this program used to just be presented through in-school presentations, it’s now being promoted in several other ways. She started the Celebrate Differences Blog this past year to target young-adults and teenagers. On the blog, she features amazing young ladies that have faced adversity and overcome obstacles in their life. They share what they did in those situations and how they came out of them even better than before. This serves as an incredible resource for those who are being bullied to go to and see that they are not alone.

On July 21st, she launched the Celebrate Differences ambassador program, where she is giving girls and boys across America the opportunity to represent her program.. She is so excited for this step and believes that with more representation, this program will make a greater impact across the country.
