Hey y’all

My name is Laila, and I’m beyond excited to announce that I’ll be competing in Miss HBCU Teen Pageant this year! This opportunity means so much to me — it’s not just about a crown, it's about confidence, leadership, sisterhood, and representing young women who want to make a difference.

As a rising senior, I’ve always been passionate about fashion, business, uplifting others, and just spreading kindness. This pageant gives me the platform to express that and grow into the best version of myself.

But here’s the thing; pageants aren’t cheap. From registration fees to outfits, travel, hair, makeup, and everything in between, the costs add up quick. I’m humbly asking for your support to help me get to the stage looking and feeling my absolute best.

Networking is a huge part of the pageant as well, so your donation would mean the world to me !

What Your Donation Will Help Cover:

Pageant Entry Fees

Gown & Interview Outfits

Hair & Makeup

Travel & Lodging

Coaching/Prep

Whether you give $5 or $50, it means the world to me. Every little bit helps me take one step closer to that stage and that crown

And if you can’t donate right now, a share is just as powerful Post it to your story, tag your friends, or say a prayer!

Love always,

Laila James
