door was opened and I could not be more grateful<br />
A to be the one to walk through it. In <strong>No</strong>vember 2021,<br />
I was officially crowned as Miss Black Alabama USA 2022.<br />
This title grants me with even more opportunities to<br />
serve my community and state. Within this role, I serve<br />
as a spokesperson for my generation by researching,<br />
preparing, and delivering public appearance presentations,<br />
performances, and speeches pertaining to voting, human<br />
rights, mental health, and many other topics. As a state<br />
titleholder, I will also build on the legacy of Miss Black<br />
Alabama USA by sharing my social initiative “Diversifying<br />
Digital Media & Elevating Marginalized Voices.”<br />
I aspire to prove that diversifying digital media benefits<br />
people of all backgrounds because it provides education<br />
on cultural topics and helps produce socially-conscious,<br />
ethical, and well-rounded citizens. I will specifically focus<br />
on three areas: Colleges, High Schools, and Mainstream<br />
Media.<br />
The Miss Black USA Organization is the first and largest<br />
scholarship pageant for women of color. The pageant<br />
empowers women to own their power and celebrates their<br />
unique talents, traits and beauty. Miss Black USA defines<br />
her own standard of beauty and celebrates the whole<br />
woman, mind, body and spirit, all shades of brown, hair<br />
texture and size.<br />
