When Vanessa Baker was crowned Miss New Jersey USA in 2003, she thought life couldn't get any better. But when her reign ended, so did the adulation and special treatment. Vanessa was left being simply Vanessa, the former Miss New Jersey.
Forced to ask herself tough questions about who she was and what she should do with her life, Vanessa finally found her true identity as a child of God, a member of the body of Christ. From the bedrock of her faith, she began seeking answers, relying on guidance from her faith and wisdom from the Bible and prayer.
Vanessa's Christ-centered perspective and invigorating energy reach even the most uninspired people. She knows what it is like to feel insecure in high school, to deal with the pressures of college, to set a life-changing goal and reach it. God gave her a platform to influence and impact young and emerging adults through Christ-centered principles, teaching that only God can validate them and help them to successfully reach their dreams.
"The youth are our future and the masterminds of tomorrow. They should be motivated to be on fire for Christ - 'workmen unashamed' - and be able to see a vision for their future rooted in who they are in Christ, and ready to seek the wisdom He offers through His Word and prayer." - Vanessa Baker
