I am also the founding member and CEO of BiZeRk, a participant in the 2022 Miss Commonwealth pageant, an active member of the Fashion Design (FIDM) club as well as the Future Business Leaders of America, and the youth chapter of the NAACP. Additionally, my experience in Marine Junior ROTC (JROTC), where I achieved the rank of Corporal, has strengthened my discipline, leadership, and sense of service.

Be part of the Experience!
This year, I am privileged to be selected as a 2024-2025 debutante of the 20th Century Onyx Club, Inc., an organization celebrating 60 years of empowering young African American women to pursue excellence, leadership, and higher education. This milestone anniversary holds particular meaning for me, as I become part of a distinguished legacy of women who have gone on to make lasting impacts in their communities and beyond. The Onyx Club fosters sisterhood, of women offering mentorship, wisdom, and support to young debutantes like myself, as we develop the drive, grace, and determination to achieve success.
As we commemorate 60 years of this incredible legacy, I am reaching out to ask for your support in my journey to the Debutante Ball. Your contribution will not only help me but will also sustain the mission of the 20th Century Onyx Club, enabling future generations of young women to benefit from the same mentorship and opportunities I have. Here’s how you can help:
- Purchase a ticket to attend the Debutante Ball on Saturday, February 22, 2025, at Zachari Dunes on Mandalay Beach in Oxnard, California.
- Become a sponsor, supporter, or patron to assist with my participation and the overall mission of the Onyx Club.
- Place a commercial advertisement in the program, offering a fantastic opportunity to promote your business or message to a wide audience.
- Contribute to a memorial scholarship in honor of a cherished individual, helping to provide educational opportunities for youth in the Ventura County area.
Your generosity will not only support me on this incredible journey but also help ensure that the 20th Century Onyx Club can continue its work of empowering young African American women for decades to come. Please consider completing the contribution form and returning it by December 30, 2024. Every donation, no matter the size, plays a crucial role in sustaining this legacy of sisterhood and empowerment.
