How To Encourage Young African-American Women In Our Society
My purpose as reigning Miss Black & Gold Queen would be to mentor and encourage the young African American women in our community. There are many young women who suffer from a lack of confidence due to their color or shape. A Pageant such as Miss Black & Gold embraces those who do not fit stereotypical standards of beauty. In participating in Miss Black and Gold I wish to reach out to the young women of our community helping mold strong, intelligent, and beautiful black women. Encouraging young women to be confident and comfortable in their

    why u want to be homecoming Queen

    by Rose M. Richard | September 27, 2001 I desire to become Homecoming Queen for two reasons. First of all, America is not a monarchy, consequently, I have little chance of marrying royalty and therefore, becoming Princess Anything.In high school, I was way too bitchy and unpopular to even think about being nominated for any sort of event that required crowns. I got the last laugh, though, because now I have bigger boobs than all those bitches. My mom wanted me to do Junior Miss, but I was in my militant feminist vegetarian phase and refused. I regret my decision not to participate, even though I still don't think it's truly a "scholarship" event. What scholarship requires you to prance around in a swimsuit?The second reason I want to be Homecoming Queen is for the crown. I like crowns. I'm of the generation of girls whose first television memory is Princess Di's wedding. She got to wear a great crown, and I've been obsessed with them ever since. I suppose I could go buy one of those crappy ones at the mall, but you don't earn those crowns. I don't care if the crown is from Burger King. At least I will have done something to earn it (but not by prancing around in a swimsuit. You really don't want me to do that).VOTE Rose M. Richard For QUEEN!…

    Black Women's Political Activism Summary

    The sources that I worked with for my research were all books. Mary McLeod Bethune and Black Women’s Political Activism by Joyce A. Hanson used two levels of activism and made it appear that Bethune’s choices were contradictory. He added a substantial dimension to the historical discussion of African-American women’s organizations. Let It Shine: Stories of Black Women Freedom Fighters was an easy read because it is considered a juvenile book. Pinkney used little detail in his work, but it was enough for the reader to get an idea. The South Carolina Roots of African American Thought was my favorite source. The editors did such a respectable job in describing why Bethune is so vital in history and they had a powerful word choice. All of the information…

    I disagree that Black Americans need to have a revolution to make progress. A revolution forcible overthrow of a government or social order in favor of a new system. I disagree because after the overthrowing of the government comes the work of replacing it. The real progress would be a personal revolution from behaviors that caused the need for a for a revolution.…

    African American Women's Role In The Civil Rights Movement

    When remembering the Civil Rights movement, the names Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., Medgar Evers, and other men. The reality is men weren't the only ones with a major influence on the movement. Women largely participated in the organization and participation of the movement. Gwendolyn Zoharah Simmons, Lonnie King, Ekwueme Michael Thewell and Rosa Parks are among the most prominent leaders of the movement. African American women were taking action across the political sphere by heading organizations, creating clubs on college campuses, leading protest, in the home and were overall involved in an endless number of ways.

    Personal Narrative: My Experience At The Miss America Organization

    In the summer of 2015, I began my journey within the Miss America Organization when I was crowned Miss Oakland County’s Outstanding Teen. I never could have anticipated how significantly this experience would shape my life. Wearing a crown and sash was plenty of fun, but the materialistic stereotypes associated with pageantry were trivial pieces to my reign. That summer, I toured my state meeting and speaking for elected officials and community leaders, I completed more than one hundred hours of community service, and I became an ambassador for mental health awareness and education.…

    African American Women Essay

    From Africa to America, African American women have embraced the spirit of creativity and survival. For years the black woman has been the backbone of our culture. It was our faith and positive spirits that played a great part in surviving slavery and being treated as second class citizens during the Civil Rights Movement. Now as we enter the 21st century, it is time to exert our strengths at a new level. The African American woman's role is to grow and prosper in business, support and be active in her community, maintain a strong family foundation, be spiritually grounded and to emend our health.…
