Miss Tennessee & Miss Memphis 1999, Allison Alderson Demarcus

filler
"I could not have been more honored to represent the great city of Memphis as Miss Memphis 1999. I was a senior at Rhodes College and the title gave me the opportunity to further my platform of literacy in a Memphis City School. The exposure I gained through appearances and speaking engagements prepared me for the state competition. I could not have been prouder to announce myself as Miss Memphis when I arrived in Jackson to compete for the title of Miss Tennessee. Being crowned Miss Tennessee was life-changing for me and was an experience that will forever be imprinted in my mind. I am still involved today in the Miss Tennessee Scholarship Pageant as Assistant Executive Director and Board of Trustee Member because of the amazing opportunities that were bestowed upon me as a local and state titleholder."
