Asian Heritage Festival

For 4 years I have volunteered at the Asian Heritage Festival. This was my first year in the Miss Black Iowa capacity. The festival draws over 20,000 people each year. I had a wonderful time greeting guests for all nationalities and walks of life.

Often times, as Americans, our first image of an Asian is one of a Chinese or Japanese individual. At this festival, over 15 countries are represented. Patrons have the opportunity to take their food, view, their art, and get a genuine authentic feel for their culture

This event exemplifies the purity of embracing diversity. I can't wait until next year.

Kingdom Seekers: Superwoman Conference

Women gathered in Johnston, Iowa to take part in an event designed to equip them to take their rightful place. I had the opportunity to be on a panel joined by Debra Carr-ISED, Shannon Rudolph-American Heart Association, and Des Moines Habitat for Humanity.

We fielded questions on saving, business ownership, spiritual and physical wellness, in addition to moral character.
