Miss Black International Ambassador (MBIA) is a global scholarship and leadership program empowering women of African descent to lead with purpose, serve their communities, and create meaningful impact worldwide. The Miss Black International Ambassador (Teen, Miss, Ms & Mrs) exists to give a once in a lifetime opportunity for black women globally to serve as ambassadors of change and to encourage, empower and enlighten, communities, states, and nations. These global agents are rising voices in the community that seeks to make a difference, by providing educational forums and events that focus on health disparities, poverty, violence, and major issues plaguing the black communities. They partner with key political figures and international initiatives to bring support to their efforts and platforms. These women are more than a pretty face and the program is more than a competition. It’s a program that gives 365 days of support and resources to communities in need. The program is a platform for today’s savvy, smart and aware, black women to express their viewpoints, talents, and accomplishments to the international public while offering scholarships and grant opportunities to further education or their business.
