Chastity Lynn Miles-Anderson, 34, representing Sumter, South Carolina, was crowned Ms. Wheelchair South Carolina 2025 during the Ms. Wheelchair South Carolina competition held on Saturday, January 18, 2025, at the Pickens County Performing Arts in Liberty, South Carolina. Anderson was diagnosed with a spinal cord injury after a gunshot wound in August of 2022. 

The Ms. Wheelchair South Carolina pageant celebrates the accomplishments of women with disabilities, and advocates represent South Carolina at the Ms. Wheelchair America pageant, held later this year in Grand Rapids, Michigan August 18-24.

Chasity is passionate about disability equality, so she will share her platform, People of Determination, which focuses on medical and hospital education in spinal cord injuries, accessibility for adults and children, and mental health.

Anderson will spend her year educating people with disabilities concerning their right to be seen as not handicapped or disabled but people of determination. Chasity will serve as a role model and spokeswoman throughout South Carolina, sharing issues important to people with disabilities while striving to educate, advocate, empower, and encourage others to work through challenges. Anderson will continue to embrace each day and work toward making change.

Upstate DJ Trivia, WSSL 100, I Heart Radio, and the Pickens Performing Arts Center were sponsors of the event.
