FLIP THE PAGE! THIS ONE’S FOR THE GIRLS WALKING IN PURPOSE.

This one feels different. An exclusive.

The May/June issue of Sheen Magazine is out now, and I’m sharing what this season has looked like, growth, faith, and the confidence to take up space in knowing who I am.

Because stepping into new rooms will introduce you to new levels of yourself.

Through Miss Black USA, I’ve been honored to step into spaces that reflect both purpose and possibility from meeting with the Ambassador and former Prime Minister of Guyana to standing in rooms and on stages that carry legacy far beyond the moment.

And in the midst of a world that’s constantly shifting, I’ve learned how to stay grounded.

How to trust God’s timing.

And how to move with clarity, knowing I can show up fully as myself, and that is more than enough.

This feature is a glimpse into that journey.

Grateful to Sheen Magazine for the beautiful feature and for creating space to tell this story with intention.

BLACK EXCELLENCE JUST GOT PAID. 💅🏾

Black excellence isn’t a trend. It’s a lifestyle, and these women understood the assignment without needing a script.

We asked one simple question:
“What does Black excellence mean to you?”

And the answers? Talent. Vision. Discipline. Purpose. Presence.(And yes… main character energy.)

Meet our Shades of Excellence Scholarship winners:

✨ Iyana Brumfield — Alvin Ailey Dance Academy
🏆 $1,000 Black Excellence Scholarship

🎭 Jade Amber Johnson — Texas State University
🏆 $500 Arts Scholarship

📚 Taaron Branch — Harvard University
🏆 $500 Black Excellence Merit Scholarship

From the stage to the classroom to the culture, they’re not waiting for opportunities.
They’re becoming them.

And let’s be clear:
You don’t need a crown to win over here.

You just need to be HER.

Follow us for the next giveaway.
Because the next name we call… might be yours.

This energy? Extra. Entirely unavoidable 🔥 Black girl joy doesn’t whisper, it shines, it inspires, it moves. Own your vibe today and let the world feel it 😏✨

01/02/2026

2026 is all about good vibes, positive energy, and Black women taking up space.

Not louder.
Not extra.
Just fully here.

This is what it looks like when confidence isn’t performed, It’s embodied.
When joy isn’t borrowed, it’s rooted.
When energy speaks before introductions.

We’re not easing into the year.
We’re entering it claiming what’s ours. 👑✨
