Landon LaFrance -Mrs. Teen Sovereign 2024
1.Introducing Mrs. Teen Sovereign 2024, how would you describe who you are beyond the crown and the runway?
Beyond the crown and the runway, I'm
someone who genuinely loves connecting
with others and is always seeking new
wisdom-often from the places you'd least
expect it. I value time with my family,
exploring new experiences, and continually
pursuing my dreams. I try to show people
that b e n e a t h t h e c r o w n a n d a b o v e t h e
runway is someone who truly cares about
them. Winning a crown and rocking a
runway are incredible achievements, but I
believe the greatest accomplishment is
how you live your life and the way you treat
o t h e r s
2. Pageantry is about more than beauty; it’s about presence. How do you encourage others to walk with confidence both on and off the stage?
I always tell people it doesn't matter if
you're shy or a social butterfly-confidence
comes from within. It's about loving
yourself, being unapologetically you, and
using that to connect with the world.
People admire confidence, but what they
value even more is feeling your authenticity
3. What has been the biggest challenge in your journey so far, and how has overcoming it helped you grow as a role model?
The biggest challenge I've had to
overcome is not comparing myself to
others, and realizing that we each have our
own unique background and story that
allow us to succeed and support one
a n o t h e r in s o m a n y w a y s .
4. What message do you hope to leave with young people who look up to you as both a model and a titleholder?
Authenticity, humility, hard work, and
dedication can take you anywhere-but
without love, even the greatest titles mean
very little
5. Who or what inspires you the most, and how do you hope to pass that same inspiration on to others?
My biggest inspiration has always been
my mother. She grew up surrounded by
poverty, neglect, and the challenges of
addiction and violence, yet she chose a
different path. She became a strong, loving
mother of five and broke the cycle for our
family. Her perseverance has shaped who I
am today, and I carry her strength with me
everywhere I go. I hope to one day love my
children with the s a m e unwavering
dedication she gave us. I share her
inspiration by reminding others that no
matter what obstacles they face, they too
have the power to rise above, create
change, and live a life full of love, purpose and hope
