The Three Princesses!
Well, two and a half, anyway! (Sorry, Kim Letz!)
This past summer at a ChildrenWithDiabetes conference in Orlando, we had the opportunity to meet Miss America 1999, Nicole Johnson Baker. Pictures and story from the first time are here. We were so impressed by her. She was so down to earth and friendly, and she has a great message. We got to hear more of that message this weekend. Nicole came and spoke at our Time to Talk meeting, which is our local support juvenile diabetes group.
She talked about the obstacles that she had to overcome in order to make it to Miss America, as well as the prejudices she faced from people who told her she couldn’t do it. She’s a great inspiration for kids.
Thanks to Animas and Kim Letz for bringing Nicole in to Iowa!!
