Hi Y'all! I'm Landry!
There She Serves...
My social impact initiative, "Live Fearless: Defining a Life Without Limits," aims to empower YOU to step outside of your comfort zone in the fearless pursuit of your dreams! Developed out of my own experience living fearlessly in the Miss America Organization as a person who stutters, the "Live Fearless" mission and brand was founded on the principal: Nothing Worth Having Comes From a Comfort Zone. I am the founder and president of 501(c)3, The Live Fearless Foundation, author of Fiona The Fearless Fox, creator of National Live Fearless Day and the Dear Fearless Mentorship Around the World Program. As Miss Plano, I have had the opportunity to reach millions on a global platform to empower the next generation of world changers to become the most confident, fearless versions of themselves.
There She Advocates....
At a young age, I was diagnosed with a speech block that hindered me from articulating my thoughts for most of my childhood. When I began competing in the Miss Texas Organization, I recognized just how much my self confidence directly correlated with my ability to speak. This discovery enabled me to partner with a variety of global, national, state, and local organizations to bring awareness to stuttering and the over 70 million individuals it impacts. In addition to stuttering awareness, I have also been named an ambassador for Texas Cares for Children: an incredible 501(c)3 organization that provides peer mentorship, character education, and leadership opportunities to the students of Texas.

There She Learns...
I am currently pursuing my Bachelor of Music with an emphasis in Music Theater from Oklahoma City University-alma mater of Kristin Chenoweth, Kelli O'Hara, Chris Harrison, and countless others. Through the scholarships I have gained by competing in the Miss Texas Organization, I have the opportunity to attend my dream school and music program. I hope to one day perform on Broadway and eventually practice as an entertainment lawyer!
