For many aspiring models, the journey begins with childhood dreams, magazine covers, or years spent envisioning themselves under bright runway lights. For Tekelle Evans, however, the path into fashion arrived through something more personal: a desire for creative expression and the opportunity to become part of something larger than herself.
Recently crowned Miss Palm Beach County US Nation 2027, Evans represents a new generation of titleholders who see modeling not simply as glamour, but as storytelling. Though she officially began modeling in October 2026, her passion for fashion was born from a deeper appreciation for artistry and transformation.
“What inspired me was wanting to get into fashion and use myself as a form of creative expression,” Evans shares, explaining that she loves bringing creative visions to life through clothing, makeup, and visual storytelling. For her, modeling is less about standing in front of a camera and more about becoming part of an artistic process that allows ideas to take shape.
It is this perspective that shapes how Evans views the modeling industry itself. While many outside the industry may only see polished campaigns or carefully curated runway moments, she sees something much more meaningful beneath the surface.
“The modeling industry is about self-expression through art,” she says. “Through clothes, looks, and makeup.”
Yet Evans is equally candid about the realities that come with pursuing a career in fashion. She is determined to challenge the misconception that modeling and pageantry are effortless industries built solely on appearance. Instead, she emphasizes the discipline required to thrive in spaces where rejection, performance, networking, and personal resilience often happen simultaneously.
“This industry requires discipline, both mental and physical,” she explains. “You have to handle runways, shoots, interviews, networking, rejection, and still juggle life outside of it.”
Her honesty reveals a level of maturity often developed through experience, something Evans appears to carry naturally into her title. Rather than viewing Miss Palm Beach County US Nation 2027 as simply a crown or sash, she sees it as a platform to build meaningful relationships and create opportunities not only for herself, but for others navigating similar ambitions.
Evans plans to leverage her title to expand her professional network, open doors for future opportunities, and amplify the work of other emerging creatives by highlighting and supporting them through her growing platform. It is an approach rooted in collaboration rather than competition, a refreshing mindset in industries often perceived as cutthroat.
Her ambitions, however, are anything but small. Five years from now, Evans envisions herself modeling full-time, signed with a major agency, recognized as a household name, and gracing the cover of Vogue. It is a dream she speaks of confidently, yet with an understanding that reaching those heights requires persistence, consistency, and unwavering focus.
Her interests within fashion are equally expansive. While she is especially drawn to fashion, commercial, swimwear, and haute couture modeling, Evans remains open to opportunities that challenge her creatively and professionally.
There is also far more to Evans than what audiences may see on a runway. Long before stepping into the fashion world, she spent twelve years mastering the clarinet, participating in ensembles and devoting seven years to marching band. She also dedicated eight years to her church’s liturgical dance team, experiences that undoubtedly shaped her stage presence, discipline, and confidence in performance settings. Outside of fashion, she enjoys anime, basketball, and softball — interests that reflect a personality grounded in creativity, movement, and balance.
Now, with her title in hand and momentum building, Evans is preparing for an even bigger stage. In February 2027, she will compete for the title of Miss Florida US Nation, where she hopes to continue proving that determination, artistry, and authenticity belong at the forefront of modern pageantry.
For Tekelle Evans, this is only the beginning. Beneath the elegance of pageantry and the artistry of fashion lies a young woman with ambition, discipline, and a clear vision for where she intends to go next — and she is walking toward it one runway at a time.

Nashville, TN
Guardian Fire Services, a national leader in fire and life safety services, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Houston Fire & Security, a provider of commercial fire protection and security systems and services to Houston and the surrounding area.
Founded in 2000, Houston Fire & Security has forged a reputation as a trusted provider of life safety services to local customers, founded in reliability and local expertise.
The investment marks Guardian’s expansion into Texas and strengthens its position as a leading comprehensive fire protection and life safety services nationally. The investment will complement Guardian’s existing services, by incorporating Houston Fire & Security’s suite of fire alarm, sprinkler, extinguisher, and kitchen hood services into its offering.
Ray Misfeldt, CEO of Guardian Fire Services, said:
“At Guardian, we believe the best way to serve our customers is by partnering with exceptional local companies that share our commitment to quality, safety, and service. The acquisitions of Houston Fire & Security and Midwest Protection Services expand our presence in two important markets and strengthen our ability to deliver world-class fire and life safety solutions. By combining trusted local relationships with Guardian’s investment in people, technology, and operational excellence, we are building a national platform that sets a new standard for our industry. We look forward to continuing this growth with the support of Investcorp.”
Guardian’s investment in Houston Fire & Security is its third add-on investment since Investcorp’s North America Private Equity acquisition of the business in December 2025.
Vincent Bonoan, Founder of Houston Fire & Security, also added:
“After 26 years of building this company, choosing the right partner for its next chapter was deeply important to me. Guardian Fire Services stood out through their leadership, integrity, and genuine respect for our people. I’m confident our employees, customers, and legacy are in trusted hands, and I’m excited about what the future holds as part of the Guardian Fire Services family.”
Notably, earlier in July of this year, Guardian also acquired Midwest Protection Services guardianfireholdings.com , a leading Omaha, Nebraska-based provider of fire and life safety solutions for commercial customers. That acquisition also strengthened Guardian’s presence in the Midwest and expanded its ability to deliver comprehensive fire and life safety coverage to customers throughout the greater Omaha region.
Tim Rozmajzl, Co-Founder, Midwest Protection Services also stated:
“Guardian Fire Services is the right partner for Midwest Protection Services. Their commitment to quality, customer service, employees, and long-term relationships aligns closely with the values that have guided our business for more than 20 years. Together, we can build on the trusted local service our customers expect while leveraging Guardian’s resources to support continued growth and an even stronger future.”

Puppy Playground Named “Versatile Product of the Year” in the 2026 Pet Innovation Awards
Alexandria, VirginiaThe Alexandria company’s modular dog play system earns recognition for adaptable, commercial-grade design trusted in more than 12,000 facilities worldwide
The Alexandria company's modular dog play system earns recognition for adaptable, commercial-grade design trusted in more than 12,000 facilities worldwide
Alexandria, Virginia
Puppy Playground, the maker of modular dog playground equipment used in more than 12,000 facilities worldwide, has been named Versatile Product of the Year in the 2026 Pet Innovation Awards.
The award, presented by the Independent Innovation Awards, recognizes products across the pet care industry for creativity, usability, safety, and real-world impact. Puppy Playground took its category for one idea it has refined since 1994. Play equipment should bend to fit the dog and the space, not the other way around.
Every piece connects through the company’s Bone Connector system. Staff set each ramp, stair, tabletop, or platform onto hidden plastic connectors that lock them together. The pieces release in seconds. A full layout can come apart, get cleaned, and go back together as something new in minutes, which is exactly what a busy daycare floor needs when turnover and sanitation never let up.
The equipment is molded from commercial-grade polyethylene, with rounded edges, non-slip surfaces, and non-porous finishes that resist bacteria and withstand years of weather and daily use. The system is made to order in the USA and scales from the Mini Series for puppies and small dogs to the PRO Series for large breeds.
Because the Mini and PRO lines share the same connectors, a facility can start with a few pieces and expand to dozens without replacing what it already owns.
The company’s story goes back to 1988, when the Bessette family bought a run-down boarding kennel in Ormond Beach. Six years in, they had traced most of the behavior problems they saw to two causes: too much unspent energy and too little socialization. The group play areas they built to solve both became the foundation of the business Puppy Playground is today.
About Puppy Playground
Puppy Playground has designed and manufactured commercial-grade dog playground equipment since 1994. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, the company builds modular, made-in-USA play systems that support exercise, confidence, and socialization for dogs in daycares, boarding facilities, shelters, and homes worldwide.
