Miss Celi Dean crowns her sucessor Miss Black USA Tennesee at the Black USA Pageant held in The Gambia West Africa.

I was in the in audience when Miss Dean won the Miss Black USA title in 2005. I was was then writing an article for then My Ezine Black Gem World. I had no idea that this young lady from Minnesota had Liberian roots until the talent competition where she gave a captivating monolouge about her heritage and her roots. The message that she was giving that evening was just fitting " not to make judgement of someone by their outward apperance."

Two years later she and 36 other delegates traveled to The Gambia West Africa to compete for the Miss Black USA Title. This is the first time the Miss Black USA has ever competed on the African Continent.

What is so unique about this event is that 2 of our past Miss Liberia in the US state queens went to the Gambia to compete in this competition. Miss Telena Cassell Former Miss Liberia California and Miss Wokie Daboh Former Miss Liberia Minnesota.

We are so proud of you!!!

We are looking to hear more about about your pageant experience in The Gambia!!!

BEWARE OF PAGEANT PROMISES Beauty Pageants: Runways to Fame???

WIN OVER $50,000 IN CASH PRIZES, WIN AN ALL EXPENSE PAID TRIP TO THE ISLANDS, WIN A BRAND NEW MERCEDES BENZ, GO TO HOLLYWOOD AND MEET WITH BIG MOTION PICTURE DIRECTORS THAT BROUGHT YOU SPIDERMAN, HARRY POTTER, AND GHANDI.

It seems that all across the country, young Africian and other ethnic women take the stage, smiling for judges, hoping to be the next beauty pageant winner. Many parents and daughters spend a lot of time effort and money on pageants hoping that their child will become the next supermodel or a famous movie star. The truth is that few are discovered that way.

Before entering into a beauty pageant, parents and contestants should consider the following questions:
How long has the company been operating pageants? Who are the directors? Usually pageants are operated by for-profit organizations that solicit participants by mail or print advertising, or by broadcast media, to compete for recognition and prizes from the promoter.
What is the total cost of pageant participation for both the entrant and the chaperone? Oftentimes, family or business sponsors are asked to pay a sponsorship fee, which can vary, to the pageant promoter to cover hotel rental fees, awards, administrative costs, salary for company personnel and company profits.
Can the location (place of business) of the pageant company be verified? Where and when will the actual pageant be held? What accommodations are provided for contestants? Will there be adequate supervision?
Who are the judges and what are their qualifications? Do they have any affiliation with the company?
Are refunds possible if a contestant decides to withdraw from the pageant?
How are the winners chosen? What criteria are used for selection?
What are the obligations of the winning contestant?
What do former contestants and winners have to say about the pageant? Ask the company for references.
Finally, what benefit will be derived from participating or winning?
If you're approached by a pageant company, do your reasearch first,Be sure to read any contract carefully and thoroughly in advance of entering a pageant to understand rights and responsibilities of the winner.
