Mrs. Colorado American - New sister title to the Mrs. Colorado title in the Mrs. America Organization. This title is the 1st Runner-Up placement in the pageant.

Congratulations to Adriana Morrison the newly crowned Mrs. Colorado American 2026.

I’m Adriana Morrison, and I’m so honored to serve as your Mrs. Colorado American 2026.

At the center of my life is my family—my husband Art and I just celebrated 10 years of marriage, and together we’re raising our four amazing kids: Isaiah, Calista, Jonah, and Jasmine. Three of my children are on the autism spectrum, and being their mom has shaped me in ways I never could have imagined. It’s stretched me, strengthened me, and given me a deep passion for advocating for families like mine.

When I first entered the Mrs. Colorado pageant in 2021, life was already full. There was no “perfect timing.” But something in me knew I needed to do it anyway. I needed something that was just as much about personal growth as it was about showing up for others.

What I found through the Mrs. Colorado pageant journey was so much more than I expected. It became a space where I could challenge myself, reflect, grow in confidence, and build real friendships with women who were also choosing to invest in themselves. It gave me time to step back, refocus, and become more intentional in every area of my life.

Outside of the pageant, I’m a certified menopause specialist and health and fitness coach, and I’m passionate about helping women over 40 feel strong, capable, and confident again. I also love leading self-defense classes and working with the Autism Society of Colorado—because empowering others is truly at the heart of everything I do.

And in the middle of all the responsibilities, I’ve learned how important it is to make room for joy. I love hiking, horseback riding, snowboarding, and just saying yes to the little adventures that make life feel full.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably spent a lot of time pouring into everyone else. This journey reminded me that it’s okay—and actually necessary—to pour into yourself too.

If you’ve been feeling that pull, I want to encourage you to explore the Mrs. Colorado pageant journey for yourself. It might just lead you somewhere really special.
