Juliana McKee - Top Ten - Preliminary Fun Fashion Wear Winner

1.What is the funniest thing you remember as a child?
My favorite word is empathy as I have experienced it first hand through my charity, Erick’s Hope. It is the key to communication, compassion and understanding of others. Through empathy, I have learned first hand that we can make changes together to help end poverty and hunger in America.

2.What is the one piece of clothing you wish you owned?
Confidence! Confidence is behind every smile, laugh, and joyful moment. One who is confident in themselves, their appearance, their accomplishments, and their abilities always projects true beauty. I am a believer that beauty comes from the inside out.

3.What season of the year is your favorite and why?
After losing my only maternal cousin Erick last summer to a genetic heart defect, I learned I have the ability to cope with difficult situations and grow from them. Erick’s Hope, a non profit organization, was created in the spirit of his incredible passion for helping those in need.

4.What is your favorite movie?
Monday! Many people dread Mondays because it marks the end of the weekend and the beginning of a new work/school week. I look at Mondays as a fresh start and a new chance to make my mark on the world and continue to grow as an individual.

5.What song makes you think of yourself?
My family!!!! They are behind me in everything I do and I feel so incredibly blessed for that. They have been in my corner through every hardship, every crazy dream, every failure, and every success. My family has molded me into the person that I am proud to be today.
