Proud to represent Almost Heaven as your Miss Black West Virginia USA 2025! 👑
As the FIRST Black woman to receive a Ph.D. in Forensic & Investigative Sciences from WVU, and as a 2L student at the College of Law, promoting the sciences & legal fields are very important to me. Because of this, I would like to promote my platform S.L.A.Y.: Science & Law Advancement in Youth! Educating young minds and acting as a role model for the younger generation is a passion of mine. So stay tuned & follow the @missblackwvusa page to see the work I am doing in my community!!
Thank you for your unwavering support! Let’s SLAY together💖
