Through her platform “Our Words Have Power”, Kylee hopes to create a culture shift in the way we communicate with each other both on and offline. After several years of cruel treatment from bullies in elementary school, Kylee hopes to show others that words should be used to heal and uplift, rather than to hurt. Through and through, Kylee stands behind staying genuine in all aspects of her life, including her journey to become Miss America. As Miss America, being true to herself and the organization are her highest priorities.
