DAYSHA GOINS
I may only be 4’11”, but I carry a whole lot of fire and I’m ready to represent every girl who’s ever felt like she had to shrink to fit in. I’m a local small-town girl who grew up cheering under Friday night lights, but was blasting Hollywood Undead and Five Finger Death Punch on the way to practice, feeling every lyric like it was written for me. That’s the energy I want to bring to the Miss Rocklahoma title—authentic, unapologetic, and full of heart.
Some might not expect someone like me to be so deeply connected to this music, but that’s the beauty of it. I used to sit in my bedroom closet just to hear my older brother practice Avenged Sevenfold songs on guitar and vocals. Those moments became core memories. Now, when I hear those songs, I feel grounded in who I am and where I come from. Music is how my family connects. My mom and I are always sending each other songs, whether it’s to boost each other’s workout playlists or to say, “This is how I’m feeling,” when words fall short.
To me, music is poetry for when we don’t know how to explain our emotions. That’s what Rocklahoma celebrates, the raw honesty of expression, the freedom to feel, and the power of community. I’ve never felt more seen, accepted, and at home than I do at Rocklahoma.
I have strong leadership qualities and a heart for uplifting others. I’ve been described as “sunshine in human form,” and I carry that with me into every space I enter. I love meeting new people—I’ve never met a stranger—and I’d be honored to use the Miss Rocklahoma platform to keep spreading that light, representing my roots, and reminding others that they belong here, too.
