Ramsay High School graduate Kennedy Whisenant has been competing in pageants since she was 15 years old.
Now at the age of 21, she admits she’s lost more competitions than she’s won.
But in June 2022, all those loses prepared her for the biggest win of her pageant career, and that was being crowned Miss Collegiate America, a scholarship program for female students enrolled in a continuing education program. As a student at Clark Atlanta University, Kennedy’s national win gave her a $10,000 scholarship, a Jeep and a deep sense of knowing that God’s timing is always right on time.
