No time was wasted in filling the shoes of her role. In July she partnered with Warren County Children’s Shelter to help families in need obtain school supplies.

Brand was eventually treated to a homecoming celebration when she came back to Meridian in August. A parade was held in downtown Meridian for the local celebrity.

Brand graduated summa cum laude last year, earning a degree in communication at University of Alabama and plans to compete in the Miss America Pageant this December.
