The mission is dedicated to the intellectual success of your African American girls.

According to the founder, Lisa Ruffin, an actress, it is a mode of bringing potential to the forefront.

“Within each girl, is the promise of unlimited possibilities, and the pageant is a vehicle for bringing that potential to the forefront.” 

For the past 24 years, dozens of girls between the ages of 6-12 years old have participated in this program.

Hundreds of scholarships have been awarded, and lasting memories have been created for these young Academic and intellectual princess.
