Hello everyone!

My name is Noraa Gaskin, a senior Biology major and Spanish minor on the Pre-Medical track at Emory University. I am thrilled to announce that I am competing as Contestant #6 in the Mu Alpha Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.’s 2026 Miss Black and Gold Pageant!

As the proud daughter of a determined immigrant mother, I have seen firsthand the systemic barriers that hold our communities back. If crowned Miss Black and Gold, I will dedicate my reign to bridging healthcare gaps and empowering our community through Project Alpha and my personal platform, Health Has No Borders.

Through educational workshops, advocacy, and hands-on volunteering, my goal is to ensure that immigrant and marginalized communities are never left behind in healthcare access. For example, as part of my platform, I plan to host a bilingual "Healthcare Literacy & Navigation Workshop" to help immigrant families understand medical insurance, patient rights, and accessible local clinics—equipping them with the tools they need to advocate for their health.

To bring this vision and these events to life, I am raising funds to cover my pageant participation, platform initiatives, and community outreach. Any support—whether a donation or sharing this page—means the world to me.

Thank you so much for your time, love, and support!
