Building Hope Inc. Tea and Coronation

As a Queen I have experienced many types of events and service projects, but none of them have made me go "Awwwwwwww” more than the Tea and Coronation hosted by Building Hope Inc. Let me start from the beginning...Building Hope Inc. is a non-profit organization founded by Coressa Williams with a mission to make a difference in the lives of others by offering a positive environment and lifestyle. The organization assists those in need with housing, employment, furniture vouchers, and other supportive services (http://www.buildinghopeinc.org/). 
 
As if that isn’t enough, Building Hope Inc. invited me to participate in the launch of a brand new component of their program, Princess for A Day! The concept behind Princess for a Day was to make little girls from the communities served by Building Hope Inc. feel that they are special and beautiful in her own unique way. The girls were not called by their regular names that day…every name had a Princess in front of it. Of course I waltz in, introduced myself as Queen Amina and got lots of ohhhsss and ahhhhs.
Seeing a room full of little girls, from 2 to 12 years, was just the cutest thing I have seen in a while. Especially considering they all wore mini sashes similar to mine and fluffy dresses I only wish I could still fit into! The program rolled out smoothly as I spoke to the girls and their family members for a few minutes about the importance of loving yourself and appreciating being different, instead of trying to fit in. After my spiel which separated them and the major spread of lunch and sweets…I crowned each little girl individually and sent them on their way to a mini photoshoot.
 
Upon my departure, it hit me how truly moved and appreciative I was of Mrs. Coressa Williams and Building Hope Inc. As a child, I had opportunities and priviledges that these little girls do not have. Yet I still got choked up at the thought of how much even my self-esteem could have been lifted by such a program. I can only imagine what it meant to the 44 precious princesses in attendance that day. I definitely look forward to working with Building Hope Inc. in the future and attending the Tea & Coronation next year!
