A Journey of Grace, Poise & Purpose
A Word
From Dawsonne
I’m honored to represent my community as a Debutante in the Capital City Cotillion & Beautillion of Raleigh, North Carolina. This experience means so much to me, not just because of the title, but because of the growth, grace, and service it calls me to embody.
​
Through this program, I’m learning from accomplished mentors, strengthening bonds with other Debutantes and Beaux, and developing the confidence and character needed to lead with purpose. Each workshop, service project, and gathering helps me understand more about who I am and the young woman I am becoming.
​
I’m grateful to share this special chapter of my life with you. This journey reflects my commitment to faith, leadership, scholarship, and community service, and your encouragement and support truly lifts me up as I continue to grow.
​
As part of my debutante experience, I am soliciting advertisements and event tickets sales. I appreciate your support in my endeavor. Thank you for believing in me, supporting my goals, and being a meaningful part of this moment in my life.
​
This site was created so you can follow my journey and support me along the way. I will be updating my photo gallery and my blog frequently to keep you in the loop! Participating in the Capital City Cotillion & Beautillion program will be an exciting challenge and I know with God and support of my family and friends, I can achieve my goals.
​Please consider supporting me on this journey. Donations as well as prayers are much appreciated! If you would like to contribute to my journey please see the information below.

With Love,
Dawsonne 💕

Capital City Cotillion & Beautillion
Jack & Jill of America, Incorporated
The Capital City Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. hosted its Inaugural Cotillion-Beautillion Ball in 2014. The program's purpose was to bring back the southern tradition of a leadership program consisting of life skills, leadership workshops, etiquette training, community service, and ballroom dance lessons for young men and young women.
The Cotillion-Beautillion is a program of social grace community service, cultural activities, leadership, team building, and civic enrichment for young ladies and gentlemen from the North Carolina Triangle area and is open to all sophomores, juniors, and seniors in the community.
​
Cotillion-Beautillion participants are given the opportunity to participate in a seven-month curriculum consisting of educational workshops, social activities, community service, and dance rehearsals. The program will conclude with the Rose & Sapphire Ball where the debutantes and beaux are formally introduced to society.
​
The 7th Biennial Rose & Sapphire Ball will be held on March 14, 2026 at the North Carolina State University: Talley Student Union State Ballroom in Raleigh, NC. The theme is: “With Confidence We Rise, With Excellence We Shine: 34 Shades of Melanin Magic.”
Grace
To me, grace is more than elegance, it is treating others with kindness, humility, and respect. Throughout this journey, I’m learning to carry myself with calm confidence, to listen before I speak, and to move through every moment with gratitude. Grace reminds me to honor God, my family, and my community in all I do.
Poise
Poise is the quiet strength that steadies me. It means showing self-control, standing tall in challenging moments, and remaining true to my values no matter the audience. Through workshops, mentorship, and new experiences, I’m learning to speak with clarity, present myself with confidence, and handle responsibilities with responsibility and maturity.
Purpose
Purpose guides every step of my debutante journey. I believe I’m called to serve, to lead with integrity, and to use my gifts to uplift others. Whether through academics, community service, or leadership roles, I seek to make choices that reflect my future goals and the difference I hope to make in the world.
