A special queen who began her journey of beauty with a purpose from the age of thirteen, Kelsey Hollis had a passion for easing the lives of youngsters with disabilities. By age fifteen, she had founded the Queen of Summer pageant for middle and high schoolers diagnosed with disabilities.

At age thirteen, Kelsey began an autism awareness and care campaign. She was inspired by her older brother who suffers from autism spectrum disorder. She got legislators of Georgia to propose a bill that provides for children with ASD by age sixteen.

She took part in Miss Georgia pageant in 2021 after she birthed several initiatives for the disabled. She hoped to raise more funds for her initiatives which has covered fifteen schools already.

When Kelsey is not advocating for those with disabilities, she is enjoying herself in the gym. She is what we call an all-round athlete.

She was a contestant at the Miss America 2022/23 pageant. She made top five. She continued her pursuit of raising funds and awareness for the mentally disabled.

Currently, Kelsey Hollis is a student of University of Tennessee.
