| Ada, a newcomer to pageantry, developed an interest in the Miss Black USA Foundation based on her passions which align with the organization’s mission. The strength of the Miss Black USA mission is to aggressively dissipate stereotypes that narrowly define achievement and beauty, and to produce women who are self- disciplined, strong, empowered, educated, and who believe in serving as examples to other women of color. Established in 1986, the Miss Black USA Foundation is a 501(c) 3 organization which emphasizes academic achievement, talent, health & fitness, and community activism. The Miss Black USA Foundation celebrates scholastic achievement in all disciplines and believes that education is the key to lifelong success. Ada hopes that in joining the Miss Black USA family she will achieve growth in personal and professional development.
