2027 UNITED WORLD PAGEANTS®

2027 Jr. Teen United World™

LILLY FINK

NEVADA

A few years ago, I moved from California to Nevada to discover new opportunities and possibilities for myself. Starting over in a new place was exciting, but it also came with challenges. As the new girl, I often struggled with my confidence and worried about what others thought of me.
Joining beauty pageants became a turning point in my life. Through pageantry, I learned to step outside of my comfort zone, embrace my individuality, and use my voice with confidence. I discovered that true beauty comes from being authentic, believing in yourself, and having the courage to grow. My journey has taught me that sometimes, finding yourself means being brave enough to step into something new.

2027 Teen United World™

GEORGIA BASS

TENNESSEE

A proud Tennessee girl with a heart for community service, youth leadership, agriculture, and making a positive impact wherever she goes. Community service and social impact have always been a huge part of her life. Through 4H, RYLA, United Co-op, and opportunities to serve her community, she's learned that you don’t have to wait until you’re older or have a crown to make a difference. Sometimes, the smallest act of kindness can leave the biggest impact. Her journey has also taught her the importance of resilience. She's faced moments when she questioned whether she was enough, but she's learned that a few setbacks don’t define who she is. They are reminders of how far she has come and how many times she's chosen to get back up. As a young leader, she is passionate about encouraging the next generation to step outside their comfort zones, believe in themselves, and take chances on their dreams. Her RISE platform, Resilience, Inspired, and Strong, represents the person she strives to be and the message she wants to share with others. Georgia is also proud of her roots in her small town and her future in agriculture. She hopes to continue using every opportunity she's given to serve others, grow as a leader, and inspire young people to realize that you don’t have to be someone special to make a difference.
