Reigning Miss. Plus America Elite
Trevila Hodge
A Dallas-native and licensed grief educator certified by grief.com, under the mentorship of renowned expert David Kessler, Trevilia Hodge is on a mission to reshape how the world engages with grief. Her platform, Replace Loss with Love, is rooted in the belief that “a broken heart is an open heart in disguise”—and that grief deserves to be met with education, empathy, and time.
​
The death of her son, Zion, during pregnancy inspired her acclaimed children’s book, The Baby Elephant with the Blue Balloon, available on Amazon and spotlighted on Tabitha Brown’s Very Good Mondays. Written as a symbol of enduring love and healing, the book offers solace to families who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss.
​
Trevilia will relaunch her podcast, Replace Loss with Love, in September 2025, where she will host grief experts, share healing stories, and provide actionable grief literacy tools. Her second book, a follow-up in conversation with her first, is set to release in early 2026.
As Miss Plus America Elite 2025, Trevilia combines public visibility with profound purpose—offering keynote talks, grief education workshops, and author readings to schools, churches, maternal health organizations, and mental wellness events nationwide.
“Grief doesn’t mean something is wrong—it means something mattered.” Trevilia Hodge
Reigning Mrs. Plus America
Madison Garrison Bush
As Mrs. Plus America 2025, Madison will use her title to amplify her personal platform: “Bringing Sunshine Thru the Rain”—a mentorship program dedicated to guiding children and adults through the challenges of grief. Drawing from her own personal experiences, trauma, and professional education, Madison is committed to helping others find hope and healing after loss.
​
“I am honored to hold this title and to represent women across America who embody strength, resilience, and beauty in every size,” said Madison. “My mission is to shine light in dark times and show others that healing is possible, no matter what storms life brings.”
Madison will serve as a national ambassador for the Miss Plus America organization, participating in appearances, speaking engagements, and charitable initiatives throughout her reign.
​
My speech on stage for this category, I will share with you now as well. “From the loss of my dad as a child, then my mom and later my sister as an adult, even to a traumatic brain injury that left me relearning how to walk, I have weathered the storm waiting for the sunshine! As a mentor for children and adults navigating grief, I help them find LIGHT in life’s darkest moments. Like the sun after a storm, I remind them that hope still shines, even through heartbreak. Whether it’s a listening ear, a healing word, coping strategies, or just presence—I bring warmth, one heart at a time. Because even in the rain, we all deserve a little sunshine.”
