<div>Support Kamia Imani in her journey to Miss California USA 2024
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dear Lovely Family, Friends, and Good Samaritans,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Kamia Imani, and I'm thrilled to have been chosen as a contestant for the prestigious Miss California USA 2024 pageant. I currently hold the title for Miss Anaheim Hills USA. South Pasadena is where I spent my early years and fell in love with giving back to the community as they supported my development to attend UC Berkeley on scholarship. This opportunity means the world to me, and I'm reaching out to ask for your support in making this dream a reality.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Dream: Ever since I was a little girl, I've been passionate about using my voice and energy to positively impact underrepresented communities. One day representing California on the Miss USA (and perhaps even Miss Universe) stage has been a lifelong dream of mine, and I'm honored to have this chance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why I Need Your Help: While this opportunity is a dream come true, the financial responsibilities associated with competing are quite costly, especially with the mounting debt from having recently graduated from The Neighborhood Playhouse Theatre Conservatory. From competition fees, to wardrobe, travel expenses, and coaching, the costs quickly add up. Your support will ensure that I can focus on preparing my best self for the competition without worrying about financial barriers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Impact: By supporting me, you're not just helping me pursue my dream; you're also investing in a young woman who is committed to making a positive impact in her community. If I were to win the title of Miss California USA, I plan to continue to give back to my community, and your contribution will directly contribute to those efforts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>About Me: I am an only child, with an African-American and Filipina background. My mother came to America from the Philippines to achieve the American Dream. With my parent’s sacrifices I was able to earn an academic-athletic scholarship to UC Berkeley, earn a M.S. degree from Columbia Journalism School, then work as a Private Jet Flight Attendant to save funds to sponsor my long-lived childhood dream of becoming an actress. I attended South Pasadena High School where I was heavily involved with the community and was recently inducted into the Hall of Fame.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am a first generation college graduate. About a year ago, I became a survivor of domestic violence which initially hindered my mental health to finish my theater program. Through that challenging hurdle, I’ve gained a stronger character and voice. I became even more passionate about promoting women and using my artistic passion and platform to encourage them to pursue their dreams despite any setbacks – I believe it is not about where you have been, but where you are going. With a supportive community, I was able to successfully complete my studies. As a new graduate of The Neighborhood Playhouse Theatre Conservatory, my plan is to use my story, voice, and platform as an actor and influencer to help underrepresented voices become heard and empower women to claim their respect and voice. As a recent graduate from theater school, I'm incredibly passionate about using my voice to make a difference. However, transitioning into the professional world of acting requires not only talent and dedication but also financial stability. While my current focus is on representing California in the Miss USA pageant, my dream of pursuing acting remains steadfast. Your support in contributing to my GoFundMe page would not only help me shine on the Miss USA stage but also enable me to continue pursuing my acting aspirations with unwavering determination. Every donation, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to turning my dreams into reality. Thank you for considering supporting my journey!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In my spare time I have volunteered in fundraising events for various causes; including serving, painting houses, and donating/reading books to the poverty-stricken children of Gawad Kalinga in the Philippines. I have also given back by working with the Partners Legal Team to share my story with domestic violence and the resources that supported me as I navigated to get out of that situation, start a new life, and empower their other clients going through a similar situation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Help: Your support, whether big or small, can make a significant difference. Please consider donating to my GoFundMe campaign, sharing it with your networks, and spreading the word. Every contribution brings me one step closer to achieving my dream.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Conclusion:
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read my story and considering supporting me on this incredible journey. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me and for being a part of this journey. Together, we can make dreams come true!
</div>
