Hello, I am Jillian Rhae Maxwell, Miss Mississippi Collegiate America. I am a freshman at the
University of Mississippi. I am a double major in Broadcast Journalism & Marketing. I currently serve as VP of Marketing for my sorority, Alpha Phi. I am also a part of the Marketing team for MPower Extended Orientation on my school’s campus. BRAVE has a much bigger meaning to me than just Anti-Bullying. I like to think of BRAVE as a common kindness platform. I like to discuss common things that can change people’s lives. These things are so little, such as a smile to someone who needs one, holding the door for someone, sitting with the new kid at lunch, or simply asking if anyone needs an extra hand. I try to stress the importance of being kind to everyone because you do not know what they may be going through. My BRAVE presentation consists of reading an Anti-Bullying story explaining BRAVE, explaining how to implement it into everyday life, and finally wrapping up with a question and answer session. I have found this to be the most effective way to reach students. I am looking forward to continuing my BRAVE program along with other things I enjoy doing: writing cards to nursing homes and donating items needed by animal shelters and local food pantries. I love being involved in my community and making a difference.
