Liberian Pageants attends the 1st Women's Vision for Progress Miss Liberia New Jersey Scholarship Pageant!!!


Newark, NJ, May 12, 2007 - Women’s Vision for Progress presented its 1st Annual Miss Liberia New Jersey Scholarship Pageant on the beautiful evening of May 12, at The Paul Robeson Center on the campus of Rutgers University. The event was certainly a place of elegance, beauty and culture. Pageantry was seen at its best.






19year-old Marketing and Business Management student, Marlvelthe Mensah was the night’s winner gleaming in her crowning moment as Miss Liberia New Jersey. She wowed the audience in stunning outfits in a pink African gown, contour Swimsuit and a talent performance that moved the audience to its feet.






The hall was filled with well wishers, family, friends and VIP royalty, which included: The reigning Miss Liberia in the US Miss Ro Pauline K Doe, Mrs. Edith Wilson, President of Liberian United Women in Progress, Celebrity Host and Executive Producer of the cable TV show "Imagine That" Ms Robin Richie and Mr. Edinam Oton of The African Magazine. The hall was set in an elegant dinner reception style. As guest arrived, they helped them themselves to a dinner buffet and mingled while waiting for the show to begin. The Master of the ceremonies was none other than Rev. Charles Levi Martin who kept the audience entertained and engaged as the contestants came out one by one during the African Wear, Swimwear, Talent, and Evening Wear competition.





The night’s entertainment was phenomenal!!!
The African dance troupe Fusion give an opening performance that mesmerized the audience as they delivered an excellent cultural dance performance. Other performances included Liberia’s own “Lucky Shango” and Solo R&B Artist Jodi.
At these events, I often come in contact with young Liberian girls who are inspired to become positive role models to their peers. One such girl is 7year old Miss Martin who competed in the Miss American Coed Pageants and won in her division.



Miss Nundiah Edwards, a double major senior from Berkely College took the title of 1st Runner-up.



















Miss Josephine Manu, a Nursing major received the title of 2nd Runner-up.
















Liberian Pageants wishes Miss Mensah the best of luck at the 2007 Nationals in Philadelphia.
