Before I even found out about Miss International Queen, I knew who Jazell was and later on I saw her compete for Miss International Queen and I was like, wow, this is a doorway that she\u2019s opening. This is something that could be possible for me. And I was like 19 at the time. That\u2019s almost like 10 years ago, and now here I am. I think that\u2019s just such an amazing story that we have amazing black trans women doing the groundwork and opening up those doors so that girls like me can come through next, and that is what I hope to bring as well within my journey. <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What is your biggest pet peeve?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My biggest pet peeve? Hmm. Honestly, probably eating with your mouth open. Oh, my goodness. I can\u2019t do it \u2013 and I love food. I love eating. Don\u2019t get me wrong, but girl, I can\u2019t do it. My skin crawls. <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What are three things you cannot live without?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hmm. Girl, If I say food one more time\u2026but I\u2019m going to say I can\u2019t go without a laugh. I have to express myself through laughter. It\u2019s how I get through my days. I\u2019ve suffered from really bad depression growing up and I find that now being able to just laugh at everything has made life so much easier for me. Even through the hard stuff, even through the pain, I find some way to laugh at it all, so that\u2019s going to be my number one. <\/p>\n<p>Okay, number two\u2026give me time. I\u2019m thinking\u2026it\u2019s loading, it\u2019s buffering. I\u2019m going to say food again. You know what? Shoot me in the foot. I think I cannot go without a snack and I think one thing about pageantry is getting to maintain and create a diet has been one of my most difficult, honest journeys. I think through COVID, I ended up gaining a habit of just eating, like every time I\u2019m bored or I\u2019m stressed, I would just eat. So now I found a way to turn that into something positive by changing my diet, changing my lifestyle, and finding a way to make that work around for my good, which has been really amazing. I love that. And I love to eat. I love to have a good time. I think two of the most vital things of traveling are learning a language and adapting your palette. You know, you need that anywhere you go. <\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s see. We said food, we said laughter. I would say entertainment. Yeah. I need some good laughter, some good food and good entertainment. Wow, that sounds like brunch! I love to be entertained. I\u2019m a full-time performer. That\u2019s how I make all of my money. Whether I\u2019m not sewing or designing or doing hair, I\u2019m on stage. So, I love to put on a good show and just as much as I love to put on a good show, I love to watch a good show, whether that\u2019s live talent or even a movie, I need to be entertained. Maybe it\u2019s my ADHD, I don\u2019t know, but you know, an idle mind is the devil\u2019s workshop, so we got to keep something going, you know? <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1160\" height=\"1595\" alt=\"Midori Mon\u00e9t\" class=\"wp-image-119417 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-photos-08312025-01-1160x1595.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-photos-08312025-01-1160x1595.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-photos-08312025-01-800x1100.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-photos-08312025-01-1117x1536.jpeg 1117w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-photos-08312025-01-860x1183.jpeg 860w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-photos-08312025-01.jpeg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1160\" height=\"1595\" src=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-photos-08312025-01-1160x1595.jpeg\" alt=\"Midori Mon\u00e9t\" class=\"wp-image-119417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-photos-08312025-01-1160x1595.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-photos-08312025-01-800x1100.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-photos-08312025-01-1117x1536.jpeg 1117w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-photos-08312025-01-860x1183.jpeg 860w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-photos-08312025-01.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: Grant Foto<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong><em>If you had a superpower, what would you want it to be?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Teleportation. I can\u2019t stand driving. I can\u2019t stand the travel. I can\u2019t stand waiting. Let me teleport. Zip, zip\u2026and I\u2019m there. That would be so easy for me. Have you ever seen that movie <em>Jump<\/em>? I think that it would just be so awesome, wouldn\u2019t it? <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What is your most prized possession?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d probably have to say my engagement ring. That is something that I keep near and dear to me. It just reminds me of the love and compassion that I have for my partner. A shout out to you baby. In September, we\u2019ll make our sixth-year anniversary. Isn\u2019t that crazy? I think that it just shows that trans women can find love if you stay true to who you are and you stay loving yourself on the journey. I think love is always in the picture for anyone, and I think that\u2019s something important that as trans women need to hear and see. And that\u2019s what makes me really happy.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What are you most grateful for?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think I\u2019m most grateful to be where I\u2019m at in life. I haven\u2019t really talked about this that much, but I\u2019ve actually attempted many times to not be here and to be here now to share my story and embrace who I am and finally learn what it means to love me is the biggest success story that I could have.<\/p>\n<p>I really do not care about crowns or fame or stardom. I care about telling my story and being able to express who I am. Growing up, I didn\u2019t have that privilege, and now that I have everything that I have, it\u2019s just amazing to look back on life and know that like it does get better. It\u2019s going to suck sometimes. It\u2019s going to get rough. There\u2019s going to be some turbulence. But it always gets better. And I think to me, that\u2019s the biggest thing, that I\u2019m just so happy to be here. I\u2019m so happy to live life. I\u2019m happy to have joy. I\u2019m happy to have air in my lungs. You know, I don\u2019t want to get too sappy, but I feel like it\u2019s just so amazing and, and honestly, within life, it\u2019s so easy to take things for granted, but you never really know what\u2019s ahead of you. So, just live life with a positive mindset because whenever you think positive, positive comes for you. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1160\" height=\"1099\" alt=\"Midori Mon\u00e9t\" class=\"wp-image-119415 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-2-photos-08132024-01-1160x1099.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-2-photos-08132024-01-1160x1099.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-2-photos-08132024-01-800x758.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-2-photos-08132024-01-860x815.jpeg 860w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-2-photos-08132024-01.jpeg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1160\" height=\"1099\" src=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-2-photos-08132024-01-1160x1099.jpeg\" alt=\"Midori Mon\u00e9t\" class=\"wp-image-119415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-2-photos-08132024-01-1160x1099.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-2-photos-08132024-01-800x758.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-2-photos-08132024-01-860x815.jpeg 860w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/midori-monet-2-photos-08132024-01.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: LV Elite Media<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong><em>What is the best piece of advice you\u2019ve been given?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Always wear an earring.
