2025 FSU Miss Black and Old Gold Pageant

Greetings, everyone! My name is Bailey Marie Osceola Latchford, proudly hailing from the county that never bores, the oh-so-proud 954, Broward County, Florida! I am a second-year dual-degree student majoring in Criminal Justice and Social Work with a minor in Psychology at Florida State University. Through these degrees, I am working towards becoming a Social Worker, driven by my passion to uplift and support individuals and communities, particularly those historically marginalized. I am committed to advocating for women, children, and minority groups, and I strive to create a safer, more accepting world filled with opportunities for all.

This year, I am honored to compete in the Miss Black and Old Gold Pageant as your Enchanting Contestant #6! My mission is to promote advocacy, leadership, and personal growth while being a voice for underrepresented communities, representing the Brothers of the Iota Delta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated. With my background in social work and criminal justice, I plan to bring meaningful change and ensure that resources are accessible to those who need them. Inspired by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated's legacy of social justice, I am dedicated to advancing that vision through my work and passion.

Your generous donations through this GoFundMe will help me reach the necessary fundraising goal to cover the costs of this pageant on April 3rd, 2025. I truly appreciate your support as I embark on my journey to become your next Miss Black and Old Gold for the 2025-2026 academic year.

With grace, gratitude, and love,

Bailey Marie Osceola Latchford
