Women's Night Out featuring Sophia Kellstrom Shipman

Join Fragrance Ministries for a Women's Night Out Event featuring Miss North Carolina 2025, Sophia Kellstrom Shipman.

Sophia Shipman, formerly Kellstrom, served as the 87th Miss North Carolina and represented the Tar Heel State at the 104th Miss America Competition.

A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and a lifelong changemaker, Sophia is the founder of Pennies for Heaven, a nonprofit organization dedicated to combating food insecurity. For over 20 years she has led initiatives on the local, state, national, and international levels, proving that even small acts of kindness can create a lasting impact.

During her year of service, Sophia became the first Miss North Carolina in the organization’s history to visit all 100 counties, connecting with communities across the state and advancing her mission of helping put food on the tables of families in need.

Passionate about inspiring the next generation, Sophia created a school curriculum and authored the children’s book Sophie the Superhero to empower young minds. Through her work, she encourages every child to embrace the message that “Helping is their superpower.”

Expanding her impact even further, Sophia launched the Blessly App, an innovative platform designed to connect individuals and families with blessing boxes, across the nation. The app serves as a bridge between those seeking assistance and those looking to make a difference, helping communities work together to combat food insecurity one connection at a time.

Through service, advocacy, and innovation, Sophia continues to demonstrate that meaningful change begins with a heart willing to help others.
