From the Pine Belt to the Miss Louisiana stage.

Hannah Brotherton was born and raised in El Dorado, Arkansas, where she learned early that the people who hold a community together rarely make the headlines. She went on to Louisiana Tech University, where she served as Miss LA Tech — a campus title she carried the way the best titleholders do: as a microphone, not a trophy.

Now she's preparing to compete for Miss Louisiana, and she's dedicating the run to a cause that is deeply personal to her: Alzheimer's awareness. Watching a loved one disappear into the disease changed how she thinks about time, dignity, and the people who quietly hold families together — the caregivers, the long-distance daughters, the husbands and wives learning a new vocabulary of patience.

Her work pairs the visibility of the Miss Louisiana stage with real fundraising for the Alzheimer's Association, the country's largest non-profit funder of Alzheimer's research and care. Every appearance, partnership, and conversation along the way is a chance to convert attention into action.

Hannah believes that grace is choosing to use what you've been given for someone else's sake. This site is part of that choosing.
