Favorite thing about being Southern:
Everything. The food, hospitality, culture, and appreciation of big hair. What’s not to love about being a southern girl.
What is your personal life motto:
Believe in yourself. Even when no one else does, believe in yourself and your ability to shape your destiny and achieve your dreams.
What is the most challenging professional obstacle you have had?
I don’t have many but I do recall a semester in college when I had a professor who gave me a difficult time. I was overlooked for a position on my university’s news station that I thought I deserved. Instead, I was selected as an associated producer and studio camera operator. I’m thankful for that experience, because of those positions my writing and camera operating skills have incredibly advanced.
Who is your favorite character on a “Different World”?
Whitley, she’s a true southern belle. One of my pageant sisters said I remind her of Miss Gilbert.
If you could do any job, what would that be?
I consider myself as a jane of all trades. I could never choose one job however, I would love to be an elected official, own a nonprofit to help women and children. Lastly, a position in fashion journalism.
Who do you wish you could meet?
Michelle Obama, she is the epitome of class. Educated, compassionate for others and an excellent role model. I love her dearly.
What would your best friend say is the best/most annoying quality about yourself?
My best friend said the best quality about me is my stewardship, even as young as four I made it a mission to give back and serve to others. Most annoying – I tend to remember what I want. Guess you can say I have a bad case of selective memory.
What advice would you give your younger college self?
Learn to never settle for anything. Your goals, dreams, relationships, and friendships. Push yourself to your fullest potential.

Michiel is a Black Southern Belle living a lowcountry life. I love all things fashion, home decor and southern! When I am not running around doing fun stuff for Black Southern Belle, I live in antique stores and have a minor obsession with historic homes :)
