Miss North Dakota 2022

Boozhoo, hello!

My name is Gabriella Lilley. I am the reigning Miss Williston 2022 and I will be competing for the title of Miss North Dakota 2022 on June 11th, 2022.

I am from Belcourt, North Dakota and am an enrolled member of the TMBCI tribe. My parents are Kurt Lilley and Jerilynn Wallette. I am a pre-law student at the University of North Dakota majoring in Criminal Justice with a minor in political science. I aspire to one day be a tribal attorney.

Supporting me in my journey to Miss North Dakota 2022 would consist of taking care of additional costs that are to be covered such as entry fee, family tickets, hotel, wardrobe, etc. The entry fee is $325.

If I am crowned your next Miss North Dakota I would be the first ever Native American woman to hold this title. I will go on to compete at Miss America where I will be performing a Native American Fancy Shawl dance for the talent portion. Representation has always been at the heart of everything I do and pageantry has served as an incredible platform for me to do so.

The slogan for the Miss America Organization is “Prepare great women for the world. Prepare the world for Great women.”. In the short time I’ve been involved with this organization I have experienced so much growth. In fact, the Miss America Organization has just celebrated its 100 year anniversary! I have come to fall in love with this organization and the opportunities it presents for young women across the country.

Your support in this endeavor would mean so much! I have been involved in pageantry since I was 15 years old and have been working towards being a state titleholder for years and have been putting in the necessary work to attain this goal. Any donations can be considered a tax write off. I will recognize your sponsorship in any posts following and some donations of $50 or more will be put in the state program book!

I appreciate your time and consideration. Thank you so much for supporting me on this journey and your sponsorship!
