Miss Juneteenth 2023 Pageant (June 3): The Miss Juneteenth FTW Scholarship Pageant continues to positively and progressively impact the lives of young women.

A pageant traditionally focuses on judging and ranking the physical attributes of the contestants. However, Miss Juneteenth Pageants have now evolved to include inner beauty, with criteria covering judging of personality, intelligence, talent, character, and charitable involvement, through private interviews with judges and answers to public on-stage questions. Join us as we celebrate Juneteenth and cheer on contestants as they compete for the title of Miss Juneteenth 2023 and a scholarship to enhance their academic future.

Opal’s Walk For Freedom (June 19): Ms.Opal is inviting everyone all across the country to walk 2.5 miles with her this Juneteenth in person or VIRTUALLY, in a show of unity and support for truth in history, racial healing, and understanding.
