Miss Tennessee All American 2026

21  •  Nashville, TN

Alayna Bridges is Miss Tennessee All American, a Tennessee native, licensed REALTOR®, and child advocacy leader dedicated to creating safer communities for children across the state. She serves with Onward Real Estate, where she specializes in contracts, marketing, MLS listings, and client relations while pursuing her bachelor’s degree after graduating Magna Cum Laude with an Associate of Science degree from Nashville State Community College.

Inspired by her passion for protecting children, Alayna’s year of service is centered on strengthening child abuse prevention efforts across Tennessee. Her mission is to increase awareness of Children’s Advocacy Centers and the vital role they play in helping children and families heal after abuse. She plans to organize toy and hygiene bag drives benefiting Children’s Advocacy Centers, visit elementary schools to read books and teach age-appropriate personal safety education, and encourage communities to become more involved in supporting vulnerable children.

One of Alayna’s primary goals is to work with Tennessee legislators to strengthen Erin’s Law by increasing accountability measures and helping ensure it is consistently implemented in schools across the state. She believes every child deserves access to abuse prevention education and that stronger enforcement can make a lasting difference in protecting future generations.

As Miss Tennessee All American, Alayna also hopes to partner with organizations including the Nashville Sounds, Nashville SC, the Nashville Predators, and the Tennessee Titans to expand community outreach, host family-focused service initiatives, and bring greater visibility to the Miss All American organization and its mission of service. Through leadership, advocacy, and service, she is committed to using her platform to educate others, inspire action, and create lasting change for children and families across Tennessee.

Whether serving clients, volunteering in her community, or advocating for children, Alayna believes meaningful leadership begins with compassion and that lasting change starts with people who choose to use their voices to make a difference.
