MISS  TEXAS 2024
ANNTRANIECE SMITH

Anntraniece Smith is a 26-year-old consultant at one of the biggest firms in the world who was born and raised in Memphis, TN but has decided to plant her roots in the great state of Texas in Dallas. She holds a bachelor's degree and a master's from Prairie View A&M University and Clark Atlanta University. She competed in her first pageant in 2017 to build and gain self-confidence, conquer social anxiety, and improve her public speaking skills. She was blessed to have won 1st runner-up. She competed in her second pageant in 2021 and has been consistently competing for the past two years which amply prepared her to win the USOA Miss Texas crown. 

Anntraniece's platform, B.O.S.S. Up, Building Opportunities for Success and Sufficiency, began as just an idea in 2019 because of her experience serving as a mentor to college-level students, helping them prepare, grasp, maximize, and create opportunities that will propel their lives in a positive direction. She has helped with resume building, coached on presentation skills, prepared students for corporate and professional interviews, and provided guidance on leading a healthy life balance emphasizing self-care. Her platform came to life in 2022 and is committed to the professional, career, and self-advancement of women by providing knowledge, tools, and motivation to attain their life’s goals and desires. It promotes self-sufficiency, self-love, career readiness, and entrepreneurship. With the B.O.S.S Up platform, Anntraniece has many initiatives including a scholarship for incoming university freshmen, an IG Live series highlighting successful women for inspiration, and a financial literacy and goal-setting seminar, and many more initiatives to come. The goal is for her platform to be a 501c3.

In Anntraniece's free time, she enjoys traveling, especially solo traveling. Within the last year, she has been to 6 different countries, three of them solo. She also enjoys reading; her favorite genres are fantasy, romance, thriller, and mystery. She is always happy to give book recommendations. Anntraniece loves WWE. She grew up watching it with her uncles, which has stuck with her ever since. As a tradition, she and her sisters watch every WWE pay-per-view together. Anntraniece also values health and fitness. Lifting is a big part of her life as it was a big part in helping her overcome her depression. She is now preparing to be a bodybuilder in the bikini division.
