Empress Trisha Davis, aka Christopher Wilson, a proud native of Dallas, Texas, currently calls Garland her home.
From a young age, Trisha recognized her calling to uplift and support others. Growing up in the idyllic countryside, (Christopher) developed a deep love for animals, cherishing the countless moments spent caring for her furry friends.
As a child, I would often express to my mother how deeply it pained me to witness others struggling or living on the streets. This profound empathy ignited my commitment to service, and for the past 30 years, I have dedicated myself to making a difference in the lives of those in need.
I have been privileged to hold numerous titles and positions within incredible charitable organizations. Each time I step onto a stage and receive a dollar, my heart swells with joy, knowing that it will contribute to someone’s well-being.
I am also proud to share my journey as a recovering alcoholic. Overcoming this challenge has been the most formidable battle of my life, but the triumph over my demons fills me with a sense of purpose. It brings me immense joy to support others on their recovery journeys.
As Empress 50 of the United Court of the Lone Star Empire, I am honored to carry forward a magnificent legacy that has paved the way for those who came before me!
With love,
The Fun, Loving, and Sassy Vitrial Butterfly Cowgirl
Her Most Royal, Sovereign & Imperial Majesty, Empress 50, Trisha—can I get a “YEEHAW!” Davis!
