Teresa Clay
"To be crowned Miss Indy Juneteenth 2022 is such an honor. As a teen I left home at 13 and entered foster care. To become a beacon of light after trauma was my dream, and it’s what Juneteenth signifies. I want people to know you can not only survive but you can thrive after trauma. As long as you are breathing, you can fight every day for a healthier, happier life" - Teresa Clay
