"It's In The D.N.A."

The Miss Juneteenth Virginia Legacy Pageant is the first state-wide pageant that commemorates the journey of our shared Ancestry through Emancipation, now celebrated and known as "Juneteenth."

This platform encourages and empowers Virginia's urban youth to learn about Virginia's dynamic history that played an integral part in Juneteenth.

The program further encourages and uplifts our youth to walk in their power, leverage their individual destinies, and foster goodwill throughout their communities. Miss Juneteenth Virginia defines a new era while paying homage to our shared ancestral past.
