In April of 2018, my and I produced the inaugural Miss California Petite Pageant. For the last 4 years, we've had the pleasure & privilege of bringing to the Petite USA national pageant.
Those experiences, friendships & true examples of sisterhood have been more rewarding than we could have ever imagined.
As the saying goes, "All good things must come to an end." After another memorable year at Nationals, Jennifer and I are stepping down from our positions and will not be running Miss California Petite moving forward.
There are new chapters that need writing and while this wasn't an easy decision for us, we know the timing is right and have no regrets. We will continue to be part of the Petite USA Family, as will our California Queens.
We can't thank everyone enough for the love and support over the years. Just because we will no longer be Director/Co-Director doesn't mean all of our ' hard work and service will just disappear. The FB page & IG accounts will remain active to showcase and highlight our queens' latest happenings, celebrate birthdays, milestones, etc.
For those interested in competing, please visit: https://www.petiteusa.com/ and follow the pageant on social media to learn more about how to apply as a contestant.
Thank you to for creating this organization for us "fun size ladies" and to .jenna for carrying the torch.
Rest assured, I'll be continuing my work as a so I won't be leaving the anytime soon (check out https://www.daniadee.com/pageants for more details).
Having grown up competing in (and winning) pageants, Jennifer is off to add new accomplishments to her life, including finishing college, pursuing career goals & eventually becoming what I know will be one of the most beautiful brides I'll ever see. 💛
To all the amazing women we've had the pleasure of working with, our door is always open so do not hesitate to reach out and keep in touch. You all gave us purpose beyond measure and we love you from the bottom of our hearts (and our stilettos!).
Signing off for the last time,
Dania Denise, Director
Jennifer Smith, Co-Director
