Honoring just a few of the many black inspirations, not just this month but every day. Upper-left: Deshauna Barber- Miss USA 2016 is an inspiration to myself and many others. A true queen whose beauty glows inside and out. Stunning in every way. Upper right: The historic Storer College- located near, in Harpers Ferry. Former slaves came to Storer eager to learn to help them navigate their way in a new world of free labor. Lower left: Catherine Johnson- Born in West Virginia, made many contributions to the US aeronautics and space programs at NASA. Some may know of her as one of the amazing women highlighted in the recent film Hidden Figures. Lower right: J. R. Clifford- West Virginia’s first Black attorney. He was a civil rights veteran as well as a founding member of the Niagara Movement (forerunner to the NAACP).

8 months ago i was blessed with the opportunity to hold the title of Miss West Virginia. Oh what a life changing experience it has been ..My absolute dream job to be able to impact so many people on a level i never even knew was capable for myself. I cannot wait to finish these last 4 months strong & continue to inspire many others in my path. The next young lady who will wear the crown has my absolute support. The sky is the limit & once you reach it, go even further than that! Be sure to follow my life after the crown and the adventurous future endeavors life has in-store for me.
