Brittany builds her runway portfolio while using her title to promote confidence, individuality, and positive representation in modeling and pageantry

Brittany, the current Ms. Swimsuit Beauty International US Nation 2026 and Ms. Arizona US Nation 2026, is continuing to expand her presence in modeling and pageantry while using her platform to promote confidence, individuality, and positive representation within the industry.

This summer, Brittany appeared on the runway at Super Chic Miami Swim Fashion Week before traveling internationally to participate in Super Chic Montreal Fashion Week. She is also scheduled to appear during the Fall 2026 season of Super Chic New York Fashion Week, adding another fashion destination to her growing runway résumé.

For Brittany, these appearances represent opportunities to develop her runway experience while encouraging a broader understanding of confidence and individuality in swimsuit modeling.

“Swimsuit modeling is often judged primarily through appearance, but its impact can extend beyond what an audience sees on the runway,” Brittany said. “It also requires preparation, stage presence, discipline, and the confidence to carry yourself without apology.”

Through her role as Ms. Swimsuit Beauty International US Nation, Brittany hopes to encourage women to embrace their individuality rather than compare themselves with a single standard of beauty.

Her perspective is also shaped by her personal experience. After losing more than 100 pounds naturally, Brittany developed a greater appreciation for the discipline involved in making meaningful personal changes. She says the experience helped give her the confidence to explore modeling and pageantry.

Rather than allowing that transformation to define her, Brittany views it as an example of what can happen when someone remains committed to personal growth and open to new opportunities.

Her title also gives her a platform to connect with fashion, swimwear, beauty, wellness, and lifestyle brands whose values align with confidence and positive representation.

As her modeling portfolio develops, Brittany hopes to participate in campaigns and runway productions that recognize women from different backgrounds, body types, ages, and personal experiences.

Her recent fashion appearances have provided opportunities to represent those values on increasingly visible stages. Super Chic Miami Swim Fashion Week allowed her to gain additional experience within an event connected directly to the swimsuit and fashion industries, while her appearance at Super Chic Montreal Fashion Week expanded her runway experience internationally.

Her upcoming appearance at Super Chic New York Fashion Week is expected to mark another step in the development of her modeling career. The event will provide Brittany with another opportunity to strengthen her runway experience and connect with designers, models, and other members of the fashion community.

For Brittany, holding the Ms. Swimsuit Beauty International US Nation title involves more than appearing in photographs or wearing a crown. She views the role as an opportunity to demonstrate professionalism, confidence, and authenticity while encouraging others to recognize those same qualities in themselves.

She also hopes to challenge the assumption that swimsuit representation should be limited to women who fit a predetermined image.

“Confidence does not require perfection, and beauty does not become meaningful only after receiving outside approval,” Brittany said.

Outside of modeling and pageantry, Brittany works professionally in instructional design. At the same time, she continues to develop her modeling experience, strengthen her presentation skills, and pursue opportunities that challenge her creatively.

Her longer-term goals include expanding her portfolio, collaborating with brands and designers, participating in additional runway productions, and using her title to support a more individual and confidence-focused approach to swimsuit representation.

With appearances in Miami and Montreal now part of her résumé and New York ahead, Brittany continues to build experience across fashion and pageantry while developing her public platform.

As Ms. Swimsuit Beauty International US Nation 2026, Brittany says her objective is not to conform to a predetermined image of beauty, but to represent the confidence to stand out and allow individuality to become a central part of her presentation.

CZUR, a technology company specializing in smart office solutions, has announced the launch of its dedicated StarryHub website, providing a central resource for businesses exploring its meeting-room collaboration technology.

The website introduces the StarryHub Core Series, a range of meeting hubs designed to simplify video conferencing, wireless content sharing, and hybrid collaboration. Visitors can explore product capabilities, compare available models, review technical specifications, and access official information to evaluate solutions for meeting spaces of different sizes.

Addressing Common Meeting-Room Challenges

As organizations continue to support in-person and remote collaboration, meeting-room technology often involves multiple devices, complicated connections, and varying audio and video requirements.

Traditional setups may require separate cameras, microphones, speakers, computers, and display equipment, creating additional installation and management considerations for IT teams.

The StarryHub Core Series addresses these challenges by combining essential conferencing components into a single meeting hub. Designed to connect with an existing HDMI-compatible television, monitor, or projector, the system allows businesses to upgrade their meeting rooms without necessarily replacing their current display equipment.

Introducing the StarryHub Core Series

The StarryHub Core Series integrates video conferencing cameras, microphones, speakers, wireless screen sharing, and meeting software into compact meeting-room devices.

Powered by the built-in StarryOS 6.0 operating system, the hubs support conferencing applications including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet. Users can launch and manage supported meetings directly through the device or connect their computers when needed.

The series offers two primary operating modes:

Host Mode: Enables users to conduct meetings through the hub’s built-in operating system without requiring a dedicated computer. This approach can simplify routine conferencing and reduce dependence on separate room PCs.

Bring Your Own Meeting (BYOM) Mode: Allows participants to connect a compatible laptop and use the hub’s conferencing peripherals with their preferred meeting software. This provides flexibility for organizations using different collaboration platforms.

Both modes require an external HDMI-compatible display to present meeting content to participants.

The Core Series includes three models designed for different meeting environments:

StarryHub Core20 : For Small Meeting Rooms

Designed for huddle spaces and smaller teams, Core20 combines a 4K wide-angle camera, 360-degree audio pickup, wireless screen sharing, and built-in conferencing capabilities. It provides a compact option for businesses seeking to introduce hybrid meeting functionality into smaller spaces.

StarryHub Core30: For Medium-Sized Conference Rooms

Core30 adds a dual-camera system featuring wide-angle and telephoto views, alongside AI-assisted speaker tracking and extended audio pickup. Its wireless casting and dual-display capabilities support presentations and collaboration in standard conference rooms.

StarryHub Core50: For Larger Meeting Rooms and Boardrooms

Core50 is designed for larger meeting environments requiring more advanced collaboration controls. It features dual 4K cameras, extended audio coverage, and an integrated touchscreen for meeting management, whiteboarding, and annotation. The touchscreen functions as a control and collaboration interface, while external HDMI displays present meeting content.

Across the series, features such as AI-assisted framing, noise reduction, and wireless content sharing aim to improve meeting accessibility and reduce setup complexity.starryhub.czur.com

CZUR’s approach to meeting-room technology emphasizes simplicity, flexibility, and the ability to work with existing office infrastructure.

Kang Zhou, Founder and CEO of CZUR, has previously emphasized the company’s vision of using artificial intelligence and integrated hardware and software to simplify workplace technology.

This philosophy is reflected in the StarryHub Core Series, which aims to make advanced conferencing capabilities more accessible while minimizing unnecessary equipment and complex installation requirements.

By offering different models and operating modes, CZUR seeks to accommodate the evolving collaboration needs of businesses and organizations.

Hire Virtue Introduces Adult Literacy and Employment Readiness Initiative

The Woodlands, TXThe Light & Literacy Bridge by Leslea Scott would help Texas adults strengthen reading skills and prepare for meaningful work.

The Light & Literacy Bridge by Leslea Scott would help Texas adults strengthen reading skills and prepare for meaningful work.

Hire Virtue LLC is introducing the concept for The Light & Literacy Bridge by Leslea Scott, a proposed adult literacy and employment readiness initiative that the firm intends to sponsor. The initiative would support Texas adults seeking greater confidence in reading, writing, everyday communication, and the practical skills involved in finding and navigating employment.

Engineered by Leslea Scott, President & Chief Talent Officer of Hire Virtue LLC, the concept connects adult literacy instruction with useful workplace and job search activities. The proposed program would help participants understand job postings, complete applications, organize their work history, prepare for interviews, use basic digital tools, and interpret workplace information.

L. Scott Headshot 1 9.2.26 Hire Virtue Introduces Adult Literacy and Employment Readiness Initiative

The initial program design calls for a small, 12-week pilot combining instruction from a qualified adult literacy educator with guided practice and career preparation. Individual learning goals would recognize each participant’s existing strengths, experience, and priorities. Hire Virtue’s proposed contribution includes career guidance, recruiting expertise, and community and employer relationship development.

The Light & Literacy Bridge is grounded in the belief that adults deserve learning opportunities that preserve their dignity and recognize their potential. Its faith-rooted purpose would be expressed through compassionate service and respect, with participation open regardless of religious affiliation. The program’s guiding message is “Elevating confident readers, one human, and one word at a time.”

The initiative remains in the planning stage. Its operating structure, initial service location, funding commitments, instructional team, enrollment process, and launch date have not been finalized. The announcement introduces the idea and invites conversations with adult literacy educators, community organizations, potential host sites, and employers interested in contributing to its development.

Organizations and individuals interested in discussing the proposed initiative may contact our Press Manager at [email protected].

PepperBall® Puts Use-of-Force Results and Patrol Readiness at the Center of IACP 2026

Lake Forest, ILVisit PepperBall at IACP 2026 Booth 1775

Visit PepperBall at IACP 2026 Booth 1775

A PepperBall analysis of a major metropolitan police department in the western United States found that reported use-of-force incidents declined, including a reduction in deadly-force incidents, following adoption of the PepperBall non-lethal system. PepperBall will highlight these findings at IACP 2026 in Orlando, Florida, October 24–27, alongside the TAC-PATROL™ and VKS PHANTOM™ launchers introduced earlier this year at SHOT Show. Attendees can meet the PepperBall team at Booth #1775.

What the Data Means for Patrol

For chiefs evaluating ways to reduce uses of force, those numbers deserve attention. They show why giving patrol officers access to non-lethal tools belongs in the conversation about response options, training and accountability.

Patrol officers are often first to arrive at calls involving armed individuals, barricaded subjects or escalating behavior. Giving those officers a means of responding from a distance can create more time to assess conditions, communicate and make decisions about the level of force needed. PepperBall continues to work with agencies to bring these capabilities into everyday patrol, backed by training and practical equipment choices.

The complete use-of-force analysis will be available at the PepperBall booth.

Two Launchers Built Around Patrol Needs

PepperBall will also feature two launchers brought to market at SHOT Show 2026. The TAC-PATROL and VKS PHANTOM offer different configurations for agencies considering how non-lethal tools fit into their patrol response.

PepperBall TAC-PATROL™

Designed specifically for daily patrol, the TAC-PATROL combines a compact, lightweight design with features that make it easier to carry, access and operate from a patrol vehicle. Its push-button folding stock allows officers to maneuver in tighter spaces, while a 60-round hopper and lightweight 4500 PSI carbon fiber air tank support extended use. The semi-automatic .68-caliber launcher was developed with the realities of patrol work in mind, providing a readily accessible non-lethal option for officers responding to changing conditions.

PepperBall VKS PHANTOM™

The VKS PHANTOM offers a compact, magazine-fed alternative for situations where mobility and maneuverability are priorities. Featuring a six-inch barrel, compatibility with both standard PepperBall round projectiles and VXR™ projectiles, and a maximum range of 150 feet, the VKS PHANTOM gives officers and tactical teams another option for operations in confined spaces. Its lightweight construction and flexible air-source configurations support a variety of operational requirements.

Both launchers expand the choices available to agencies looking for equipment that fits the way patrol officers work.

Supporting the Officers Who Respond First

“The numbers matter because chiefs need to know whether the tools they put in officers’ hands are making a difference,” said Michael Lee, Vice President of State and Local Sales at PepperBall. “We see an opportunity to keep building on these results by making non-lethal options more accessible to patrol. When an officer can address a threat from a distance, there may be more time to communicate, reassess and avoid a more serious outcome. The TAC-PATROL and VKS PHANTOM reflect the practical side of that commitment. They give departments more ways to equip the officers who respond first.”

Attendees can visit PepperBall at Booth #1775 during the IACP Exposition, October 25–27, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
