Help Jaz become the next Miss USA!
Hi everyone! My name is Jaz, I’m 28 years old and currently living in Baltimore, MD.
On May 28th, 2021, I was informed that I would be allowed the opportunity to compete in the national Miss United States of America pageant system as a State Finalist for Miss Maryland USA!
Hundreds of girls apply to the Maryland pageant every year, and to think I have a spot as a finalist without ever winning a local pageant is unbelievable to me! However, as I’ve gone through this interview process, it’s become apparent to me how much time, support, and money it takes for a chance to truly be successful in the Miss USA pageant system.
To even *enter* the pageant, I have to raise $1095 from Sponsors, local businesses , family and friends by July 23rd. Including the cost of gowns, cocktail dresses, headshots, their fitness trainers, pageant coaches, hair and makeup artists, etc…competing can cost upward for $5000, or even more!
Since I am 28 years old, this is my one and ONLY chance at this since next year I’ll be ineligible because of age. I know I’m just as intelligent, beautiful, and capable as any of the women competing for Miss USA. And as a black woman, I know how important representation is.
Please allow me a shot at this once-in-lifetime chance with your donation, no matter how large or small. Any donation puts me one step closer to my dreams of the crown and a chance to show the world exactly the woman I know I am. And if donating right now isn’t feasible, sharing this link would mean the world to me.
Thank you so much to my family, friends, sisters of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated, and my DDR friends who have already offered me so much support. <3
-Your next Miss United States of America
