Hi everyone! My name is Tatyana Wallace or as I prefer Taty, and I am your National United Junior Miss. I just turned 11 years old in May and looking forward to 6th grade this September. I am from the beautiful state of New Jersey and have a 2-year-old baby sister.

I have a newfound love for volleyball, and I'm hoping to make my school team this year. Keeping a high point average in school is important to me and work hard for them. I enjoy singing, joke-telling, and serving my community. I have also been traveling with my family since I was a baby and can't wait to travel with my sister Queens this year.

While being treated for Sickle Cell Disease at my local children's hospital, I saw a need and made it my platform. With my cousin’s help, we started Taty's Toy Chest. Taty's Toy Chest donates over 1,500 toys each year to kids in the hospital. This year I added Taty's Baskets of Love, donating over 60 baskets around Easter. Knowing firsthand how hard it is to be in the hospital and giving back to my local children's hospital means the world to me. Each Toy brings a smile to a child going through some rough times and I am glad I can do that.

Fun Fact, I was the 2019-2020 IUM Princess and because of the incredible year I experienced I knew coming back is exactly what I wanted. At IUM, you are not just a contestant, Krisann and Holly truly care about each girl. The atmosphere at each pageant is very welcoming and makes you feel like family. It's no lie when they say the sisterhood is real, the connection and bond are the best part of this pageant system.

I always recommend IUM because they are looking for authentic girls, who love to give back to their communities. It's a drama-free, stress-free pageant and super family-friendly. Krisann and Holly are hands-on and love each girl as their own. Once you had the IUM experience there is no going back.
