My name is Mathena Washington, and this August I will compete for Miss Black Rodeo USA 2027 — representing the State of Colorado on a national platform rooted in leadership, heritage, and excellence in western culture. As a competitive equestrian and entrepreneur, I bring discipline, professionalism, and community leadership to this stage. This journey is about more than a crown — it’s about visibility from Colorado, expanding opportunity for biracial youth in western sports, and showing that leadership and elegance belong in every arena.

Your support will help cover essential preparation and travel expenses, including airfare and accommodations, transportation and hospitality, competitive wardrobe and western gear, and professional coaching and presentation support. Competing at this level requires intention and excellence, and I am committed to representing the State of Colorado with strength, grace, and integrity.

When I am crowned Miss Black Rodeo USA 2027, I will proudly carry Colorado’s name across the country, advocate for biracial youth entering western spaces, and spotlight the community and supporters who believed in this journey from the beginning. Every contribution helps move this vision forward. Thank you for investing in leadership, representation, and impact.
