Little Miss Black Arizona 2009

2 INAUGURAL LITTLE MISS BLACK ARIZONA SCHOLARSHIP PAGEANT | I AM A BLACK PRINCESS

Greetings, Thank you so much for attending our inaugural Little Miss Black Arizona Pageant – an event we will make annual.

Many people sometimes think that the Miss Black Arizona Scholarship Foundation starts and ends with the annual pageants, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. The Pageants are so much more than crowns, sashes and the honor of serving as Miss Black Arizona, Miss Black Teen Arizona or as a Little Miss Black Arizona. Throughout the year the reigning queens use their civic platform to promote goodwill within the Phoenix community as well as throughout the state of Arizona.

Our theme this year – “The Black Princess” – is the epitome of what our young girls represent today, they are princesses in every right and deserving of the treatment of a queen! Whoever wins tonight, all of the contestants are winners in my eyes and the eyes of the MBAZ organization. The young ladies have been practicing and preparing for this pageant for weeks, and we have an exciting program in store for you tonight!

Our organization is always seeking additional opportunities to be involved with civic and charitable events so please keep us in mind for any endeavors you may be currently pursuing. I encourage you participate in and join us at all MBAZ charity events, donate to a cause and help us be the change, as we continue to foster opportunities and seek insight on creating not only a better Arizona, but a better America especially for African-American girls!

Janet Napolitano and Mayor Phil Gordon.

Amí was able to express herself in dance with choreography, and her first chance to show her choreography was in the liturgical Hiphop group titled Hip 2 Glory. She performed many dances at churches and events around the Valley, plus worked with Tenacity Dramatic Modeling and Entertainment Company.

She continued her stage presence with modeling and also expresses herself through writing. As a child she wrote stories, which later turned into poetry as a young adult.
