ABOUT MISS BLACK GLOBAL PAGEANTS
Beyond talent and beauty, the Miss Black Global pageants represent the ideals of African American women working in our community.
We encourage healthy living, self-confidence, creative accomplishment, community service, and the pursuit of scholastic achievement. The official platform of the Miss Black Global Pageant is the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).
Our goal is to inspire, motivate, and lift African American women to the realization that they are strong, independent, capable people who can accomplish anything.
