Ambassadors to the World:
World Ambassador™ Supermodel 2008
ANNASTASIA ANDERSON, CEO BUTTERFLY KISSES FOUNDATION
Annastasia Anderson was a Fellow delegate in the Ambassadors
to the World® program and was honored with the opportunity to
become Ms. World Ambassador 2007 competition. (Nov. 2006.)
She was very excited to represent the world and the
Ambassadorial Society of America with the Ms. World
Ambassador title, as the International spokesperson for the
Society, and utilized the opportunity it brought. Annastasia was
recently awarded the World Supermodel title by Supermodels
unlimited magazine.
These titles have opened the door to many opportunities such
as, becoming a news co-host for Pageant Talk International on
Voice America. She was honored to be a part of this wonderful,
International broadcast and team. She is now expanding upon
the recent opportunities presented to her and is moving on to
new endeavors. She is the mother of two beautiful children,
Angelina (6) and Brett (11). Annastasia attended Georgia
Southern University and the University of Northern Iowa where
she majored in Art Education and Psychology. Annastasia is now
a commercial artist (in her spare time), small business owner,
non- profit organization founder/CEO, make-up artist,
professional model (for 12 years/print, runway and
commercials), pageant coach and certified image consultant
and is a special needs caretaker for autistic and deaf children, a
youth mentor, a marketing rep and, most importantly, is an
International Domestic-Sexual Abuse Ambassador.
Annastasia is very active in her community. Volunteerism and
community service have been a big part of her life. Her activities
have ranged from volunteering with the elderly and teaching
Sunday school, to teaching art workshops to children.
Volunteering has brought her much joy, but none greater than
serving as a speaker/advocate for abused women and children.
She traveled extensively throughout the U.S in the past year and
a half and has continued to do so, as well as, other countries,
throughout her 2006 US and 2007 World reign, speaking out on
their behalf. She is continuing to do so with her World
Ambassador Supermodel 2008 title in her new endeavors.
As a survivor of abuse, she understands the importance of
having someone to advocate for you. Her life experiences have
made her aware; more than ever, how greatly children are
affected by abuse, even indirectly. For these reasons, she strives
to keep our women and children “Safe at Home”. Working with a
myriad of organizations serves this purpose best. She tries to
teach that there is no shame in “bringing out” abuse into the
open.
Annastasia believes that placement must go hand-in-hand with
behavioral modification to break the vicious cycle of violence.
Therefore, she created a non-profit, “Butterfly Kisses”, that
works with a multitude of organizations to change the face of
abuse by releasing the butterfly within. She actively advocates
the incorporation of this program worldwide. She has partnered
with a plastic surgeon to help reverse the physical scars of
abuse, is in the process of trying to partner with a dentist to
provide new smiles to those in need, and has partnered with a
life coach, as well, to aid in the healing process. Annastasia has
risen over $86,000 for this cause and her County Commissioner
has endorsed her efforts for youth.
Honors and awards are not new to Annastasia. In High School,
she was named in Who’s Who for academics (top 5% of the
nation) and was honored by the Mayor for her suggestions to
encourage youth to get more involved with Government. She
was also a State speech winner and was chosen to be in several
musicals. In College, she was elected University of Northern
Iowa’s Greek Publications Chair and was chosen to be one of
Georgia Southern’s theatrical costume designers.
Today, she stays involved with her art and has received many
vocal and art awards and is a published columnist. She is also a
recipient of honorary Jump Wings. She was honored as “In the
Spirit of Youth” Role Model of the Year (2004) for her outstanding
contribution. She was awarded the Spirit of Excellence award
for community service efforts and will be featured in an
upcoming issue of a national Magazine as a “hero” for children.
Annastasia was inducted into the Ambassadorial Society of
America as a fellow of the arts and entertainment and was the
recipient of the World Ambassador ® award.
Annastasia recently returned from a volunteer mission, in
January 2008, focusing on the region of Greece, beginning on the
island of Crete, the foundation and begging of Greece, to
broaden her horizons by immersing herself in the
language/culture and helping at-risk women and children. On
behalf of the World competition and its sponsor, The
Ambassadorial Society of America, she has been invited to
countries, such as Mexico, Vietnam and Africa. She also visited
the Navajo Nation, located in Arizona, as a special guest to the
first lady and President representing Walking the Healing Path
non-profit organization as an International spokesperson, to help
with several charitable efforts. She was appointed “Head
Parent” at her son’s school, and is writing a children’s book
focusing on anger management issues for the young. She
helped with the initial fundraising for “Queens on a Mission” (a
team organized to raise funds for charitable causes) and
appeared on their behalf. Her story is currently in the works of
being published, as well.
In her spare time, she likes to spend time with her
children/family, learn sign language and Spanish, dance
(Merengue/Bachatta-Latin dance styles), collect Catwoman,
bargain shop interior decorate and watch Mixed Martial Arts
Competitions.

| ANNASTASIA ANDERSON, FORMER MS. WORLD AMBASSADOR: MS. WORLD AMBASSADOR 2007 |
| Butterfly Kisses strives to give abused/neglected women and children a hand-up by trying to break the vicious cycle of violence. Statistics show that history repeats itself from generation to generation unless the roots of violence are addressed. Early childhood is a critical time when learned behavioral patterns are formed. Thus, by changing the behavioral patterns taught by an abuser we can effectively help make a change for the better, not only for the children victims, now and later in life, but families as well. We advocate placement of free re-educational materials into shelters, hospitals, police stations, churches, and hope to partner with C.A.S.A (an organization dedicated to the placement of abused children in to new homes, one case at a time!!!). Education and placement MUST go hand-in-hand to effectively make a lasting change. Remember that every child deserves to feel happy and SAFE because there's no place like home. |
