I am honored to serve as Miss Elite Southwest and to use this platform to advocate for mental health awareness, PTSD awareness, and positive community impact. As a first-generation scholar, immigrant, and artist, I am committed to serving, educating, and uplifting others through leadership, advocacy, and community engagement.

This GoFundMe has been created as an official sponsorship opportunity for those who would like to support my journey. Sponsorship donations will help cover pageant-related expenses, community outreach initiatives, appearances, and advocacy efforts throughout my reign. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps me continue making a meaningful difference in the communities I serve.

Thank you for your support, encouragement, and belief in this mission. Together, we can create a positive impact and inspire change.

With gratitude,

Samira Fernandez

Miss Elite Southwest 2026 ✨
