What Past Participants Are Saying
The Miss Juneteenth America Scholarship Pageantry Program® has touched the lives of participants and their families, creating lasting memories and powerful transformations. Here’s what they have to say:
“From Nervous to Blessed: Finding a Sisterhood for Life!”
At first glance, I was very excited, but nervous about meeting so many new girls; although, once I met them I felt like I had known them forever. We were pumped up all weekend long with various activities and good food. I am so blessed to have a newfound sisterhood in my life.
“Empowered by History, Inspired by Community.”
I loved that the pageant focused on black history and women’s empowerment. The Maynard 4 Foundation provided an excellent environment for learning and being involved in the community.
“A Journey of Strength, Sisterhood, and Wisdom.”
During this journey of the Juneteenth Pageant I have experienced love, teamwork, compassion, boldness, and strength. Each girl had every single one of these characteristic traits and it helped me out during the pageant. Each adult that was present played their role with so much wisdom and wanting to help us girls feel and know that we can strive if we put our mind to it. I feel like even though I did not win I know that the queens that did win deserved it because they did amazing, and again we all did. It was a wonderful experience and I want to just thank Mrs. Suntrease and the Maynard 4 foundation for having me and showing me new things.
“Sisterhood, Culture, and Unforgettable Moments.”
I am so grateful for having been in the Juneteenth Pageant because of the sisterhood. I really loved being able to finally meet Ms. Suntrease and all the other girls in person. Yet, I also really enjoyed being able to learn more about my culture. All in all, I really had fun and was so grateful for everything I learned. Ms. Cassaundra Burks left a distinctive impression in my heart; I LOVED her energy, as well as her honesty! It was very fun being in second line, too, my first experience. Being able to learn more about Africatown was also truly cool, especially since I have been volunteering hours with the not-for-profit, LOTO (‘Lead One, Teach One’ of UTOPIAN LEGACY), and Chief Jason Lewis to clean up and assist in the refurbishing of a couple properties around the Heritage House and near the Community Center.
“A Sisterhood Like No Other.”
I am proud to say my experience working with Mrs. Suntrease Maynard and her foundation in the Juneteenth pageant was so welcoming to young black girls and I’ve gained 12 new sisters!
“A Journey of Growth and Purpose.”
