From Pageant Contestant To Judge!
In 2024 I had the distinct pleasure of judging 5 pageants and looking to be invloved in as many pageants in 2025. It brings me so much joy to help the next generation reach their goals with winning the coveted title of Miss America. We haven't had a NC winner in over 10 years and my goal is to find our next Miss America!
Let’s lead with purpose. Let’s organize to win!
I appreciate your support! I am excited to see all the changes we can doo together, as the new, First Vice Chair of Wake County Democrats.
We are building a more inclusive, empowered, and effective Wake Dems that genuinely reflects the strength of our people and precincts.
As 1st Vice Chair, I will:
- Organize impactful precinct & countywide events
- Support GOTV, poll greeting & volunteer teams
- Recognize and address blind spots
- Lead with transparency, strategy & compassion
I need your support.
If you believe in people-powered leadership, I’d be honored to earn your endorsement.
Let’s build momentum, together.
DreamFest Review:
"As I was leaving the Arts Center after the MLK Dreamfest, I, like many others, thanked you for organizing a wonderful program. This note is simply to affirm how much I appreciated theexcellence and power of all those who offered their art in tribute to Rev. KIng and the values and ideals of the Civil Rights Movement. The disparate parts of the program flowed together smoothly because of the skill, style and humor of the Mistress of Ceremonies, who made the introductions and transitions as interesting as the performances. There was not a lull or a dull moment. I can only imagine the time and work that you invested in organizing Dreamfest. This note is just to say, again, THANK YOU."

Day Of Enlightenment & George Floyd Memorial Center
#525DOE = May 25, Day of Enlightenment
"The world watched an act of terror for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. What followed were months of protests in more than 60 countries across the world. In the midst of a pandemic, we gathered to raise our collective voices to say enough and to support each other."
"What resulted was an awakening of minds to police brutality towards and against marginalized communities. 8 minutes and 46 seconds enlightened the world to the plight of Black Americans as well as marginalized communities across the world. Our voices were heard and these voices will no longer be silenced or ignored."

May 25th, 2021 join us in commemorating D.O.E. Let’s wear our bracelets, ball caps and/or shirts to work, court, school or anywhere we go to show that we are all equal on this planet.

Each Wednesday a new topic to move the needle forward and bridge our two communities.
"More than 170 Black and Jewish entertainers, including Billy Porter, Sharon Osbourne, Mayim Bialik and Tiffany Haddish, are joining forces to combat racismand anti-Semitism.
The new organization, Black-Jewish Entertainment Alliance (BJEA), launched Monday – the first day of Black History Month – as institutional racism and anti-Semitism remain rampant.
BJEA is releasing a unity statement as part of its launch, which will run in full-page ads in industry publications Variety and Billboard this week."
About Black-Jewish Entertainment Alliance
The Black-Jewish Entertainment Alliance is being launched to bring the two communities together in solidarity, to support each other in their struggles, and to better understand each other’s plight and narratives.
The Black and Jewish communities in America have long stood together, from co-founding the NAACP, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), to partaking in great numbers in the Freedom Rides and Freedom Summer, to marching and standing with Dr. King.
In the face of a climate dealing with historic racism, rising antisemitism, and societal turmoil, it is critical that we continue to stand and support one another, and that starts with a showing of unity through the release of the statement below.
We hope that you will add your name as signatory in support along with many of your colleagues from the entertainment community.

"With the advent of the Black Lives Matter Movement, we in the design industry community, sought to support our Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) community in an actionable fashion," shares Patti Carpenter, Principal of Carpenter + company and co-founder of the Kaleidoscope Project. "We are seeking to show the true colors present within our community and to create welcoming and inclusive spaces that reflect a broader design narrative." The Kaleidoscope Project's mission is to foster this under-acknowledged community and create a more representative view of our design trades and the world wherein we live and create," says Amy Lynn Schwartzbard.
