Hello all! My name is Kisa Dupe and I am a sophomore honors media, journalism, and film major with a political science minor at Howard University! In the past, I have served as Miss HBCU Teen 2024 and I competed for the residence life royal court at Howard. I am honored to announce that after a rigorous application and interview process I have been selected to serve as this year’s Miss Black Capitol Hill USA 2025, and I will be competing for the title of Miss Black District of Columbia USA 2025! The Miss Black USA system is very powerful as it uplifts Black women and encourages community and confidence. Last year, I had the honor of judging for this pageant system and had an incredible experience - I am excited to return this year as a contestant! If you feel so inclined, I would love to have your support as I compete for the crown!
