They discussed the pageant’s continued growth, including the addition of Mister and Mr. Juneteenth divisions and new age categories, bringing together more than 30 contestants competing for scholarships, awards, and opportunities for personal development. The conversation highlighted how the nonprofit pageant program goes beyond competition by offering mentorship, financial literacy, healthy lifestyle education, networking, and career exposure designed to empower Black youth and adults across generations. Listeners also learned about the June 6 event at North Central University’s Trask Worship Center, featuring a special performance by the legendary group Sounds of Blackness and the crowning of Minnesota’s newest Juneteenth royalty.
