Hi community, my name is Iyhanna and I am honored to share that I will be competing in the 2026 Miss Black America Pageant! This journey is deeply meaningful to me, and I would truly cherish your support.

One night at 3 a.m., a time many believe angels speak to us, I came across a photo of the first Miss Black America winners. In that quiet moment, I felt called to step into this legacy. Their courage and beauty remind me of the women who have believed in me and encouraged me along my path.

As I continue to grow, I want to use this platform to help guide other women toward becoming the healthiest versions of themselves—spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Your support will not only help me on this journey, but also empower me to uplift others.

With gratitude, love, and blessings,

Iyhanna Zhadeé
