Miss Juneteenth Minnesota State Pageant
OUR Vision
Our vision is to empower and help reshape our Black generation and inspire them to become confident public speakers. We are dedicated to helping them embrace their diversity, recognize their self-worth, and develop poise. We firmly believe that true beauty resides within each of them.
​
Our primary goal is to strengthen sisterhood and empower these young women, enabling them to overcome mental health challenges and social struggles tied to their differences. By doing this, we will actively reduce anxiety, depression, and insecurities, empowering them to emerge as productive citizens and future leaders. We are committed to preparing them for unparalleled success in all their future endeavors.


OUR MISSION
The Miss Juneteenth Minnesota State Pageant is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community organization. Our primary focus is to create a platform that provides services, resources and opportunities to empower our Black generation. We aim to expose them to educational, networking, and career opportunities, including financial literacy and healthy lifestyle choices.
​
Participants will have the chance to receive scholarships, awards, gifts, and other prizes, as well as take part in various workshops designed to enhance self-esteem and confidence, helping them overcome obstacles. One of the key purposes of the Miss Juneteenth Minnesota State Pageant is to help Black generation rediscover their history and heritage by educating them about the origin and significance of Juneteenth.
