Smith, Kayla: - Kayla Smith, crowned Little Miss Rodeo Missouri 1995, eventually traded in pageant crowns for softball cleats and wound up obsessed with the idea of showing up--in friendship, in life, and at her favorite local breweries. Smith resides in St. Louis, Missouri, where she has worked in full-time ministry for over a decade. She enjoys writing, working out, day-dates with her mini BFFs, and playing in the dirt with her nephew and niece. She is a daughter, sister, friend, and aunt, but most importantly, a follower of Jesus.
