Hello everyone! My name is Aniston Brown. I am excited to be your 2023-2024 IUM preteen! I have two older brothers in high school and a spoiled dog named Maci!

I will be starting 8th grade this year! I participate in cheer, drama, and am Historian for the National Honor Society. I love singing, hip hop dancing, and all things acting! I have been in several community theater productions, my favorite being Matilda The Musical where I played Amanda Thripp. I would love to be on Disney one day soon but my biggest dream is to be the star in a horror film. One fun fact about me is I auditioned for the Kidz Bop world tour and made it to the finale round of auditions in NYC! It was such a fun experience!

My platform is Food on The Move. This organization has weekly mobile food events that help the community combat food insecurity. Each person who comes receives thirty pounds of fresh produce. Each event also brings an element of fun with live music and free food vendors. Thanks to my friends who donated, I was recently able to reach my goal of over 500 summer snacks to distribute!

I chose IUM because I have heard amazing things from other pageant friends. We had such an amazing week at nationals. Everything was so well thought out and organized! Not to mention the prize package is amazing! The directors have been so transparent and helpful with everything. I am so grateful and I cannot wait to get this year started.
