Hi! I'm Hannah Koeper, Oklahoma's Miss Amazing Miss Queen 2025. I am very excited to represent the state of Oklahoma at the 2025 National Miss Amazing Summit in July.
The Miss Amazing Amplify program exists to empower girls and women with disabilities by giving them real-life opportunities to build self-esteem, develop life goals, challenge themselves, and take pride in their identities and abilities so they can develop the self-advocacy skills they need to lead fulfilling lives and to effect change for themselves and for others.
I am living proof that the Miss Amazing program works! When I participated in my first Miss Amazing pageant, I was a shy, eighteen-year-old girl who needed encouragement to share her thoughts with other people. Now, at the age of 26, I am a strong self-advocate and a small business owner. I use my business, Down-Right Perfect Gifts, to teach people about Down syndrome and to raise awareness of the abilities and achievements of individuals with Down syndrome and the contributions they make to their communities. I talk with my customers, answer their questions, and send each one home with a rack card full of facts about Down syndrome. They often tell me they didn't know a girl with Down syndrome could do what I do. I just tell them that we can do anything if given the opportunity!
In my local community, I use my voice to help change the lives of other young adults with Down syndrome by helping teach a year-long self-advocacy course offered through our local Down syndrome association. I also use my voice to influence and educate state and community leaders and business owners regarding the benefits of accessibility and inclusion in the workplace by speaking at conferences and business club meetings and in on-line forums. I lead to help ensure that ALL people with disabilities have a voice and are able to live life to the fullest!
I am really excited to represent the state of Oklahoma at the 2025 National Miss Amazing Summit where I will get to meet and share my mission with other state Queens who are also making a difference in their communities AND where I will get to compete for the 2025 National Miss Amazing Miss Queen title. Each state queen is fundraising to help cover travel, hotel, food, and other pageant-related expenses. Will you consider helping me get to Chicago by making a donation on my behalf? Your contribution will allow me to share my mission on the national Miss Amazing stage and will be greatly appreciated.
I am blessed to be surrounded by such a loving and supportive community. I am grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you, in advance, for your generosity. Know that I aim to do Oklahoma proud!
