Mission Statement
A mentor and scholarship program supporting the personal and academic success of African American girls by investing in their social and emotional well being.
Description
Often overlooked and underrepresented, Black girls need protection and nurturing. Lack of support and alternative narratives, leave Black girls at high risk for physical hardships such as early pregnancy, sexual harassment, intimate partner violence and sex trafficking. Miss Black Pasadena (MBP) is a space for young black women to come together and grow in their self worth, educational, professional, and personal goals. Proper representation and role models have been shown to significantly impact the futures of Black teens. Miss Black Pasadena is designed to celebrate the unique aesthetic of Black women and girls and provide a culturally sensitive space for Black girls to be nurtured.
