Help Dr. Joanne Frederick Win USA World

I currently hold the title of Mrs. Maryland USA World 2025. During November 7-9, 2025, I, along with other talented delegates will compete for the title of Mrs. USA World in New Orleans. If I am blessed with the opportunity to win the crown, I will serve the mental health needs of adolescents. If you believe in the cause of Mental Health Awareness, then I need your support. I am seeking support, encouragement, in kind donations, and sponsors to assist me in winning the USA World title. I currently hold the Ms. Prince George's County MD, Ms. Corporate America 2025 title.
