About Miss Africa USA

Miss Africa USA Pageant is the biggest and the most publicized pageant that features African women in the United States of America today. The pageant has certainly transcended from a small State pageant launched in Atlanta Georgia in 2005, to one of the most highly anticipated annual community events in the nation. The Pageant enables  African girls in America to shine the spotlight on Africa, tell their stories to the world, inspire one another, build self-esteem, and feel beautiful inside and out. The stories are many and that is what places the Miss Africa USA Pageant apart from all other pageants.

“Miss Africa USA Pageant is grooming a new breed of African women leaders.”
