As we celebrate March as Women’s History Month, we recognize legendary women as well as the unsung women leaders who work tirelessly without any recognition. United Crowns Productions announces the return of Miss Black Kentucky USA. Giving young women of color an opportunity to experience a pageant format, showcase their talent and scholarship to assist them with their educational endeavors. The pageant will be held October 7th-9th in Louisville, Kentucky in Memorial Auditorium.
Black women from all over the state of Kentucky will be in Louisville not only to compete for the crown but to learn about their heritage, meet and hear influential community leaders, network amongst fellow contestants and to win prize money that will help them further their education. The mission of United Crown Productions is to encourage all women to embrace their beauty and empower them with confidence and leadership skills.
Dr. Ashley Anderson, Executive Director of Miss Black Kentucky USA is excited to announce its return, her past involvement while encouraging the community to embrace these young ladies as they pursue their dreams. “When I competed in the Miss Black USA scholarship pageant in 2010, I dreamed of one day starting a preliminary program in Kentucky. The birth of the Miss Black Kentucky USA franchise is one that will have an impact on young women of Kentucky for generations to come. Beyond the scholarships that will be awarded in both Miss and Teen divisions, the life skills programming will be sure to elevate the minds and lives of all participants. It will groom leaders, shed light on issues of concern in the community, and meaningfully fund the educational pursuits of black women in Kentucky. It is my intent that this program becomes the largest scholarship funding source for young women of color across Kentucky. Additionally, creating a space for women of color to unapologetically celebrate their culture, beauty and identity is necessary and extremely important to me.”

Chef Pasch, a native of Yellow Springs, Ohio who currently lives in Louisville says “As a chef I let the food speak to me. When my creative juices flow, I can turn simple dishes into masterpieces.” The Sullivan University culinary graduate goes on to say, “It’s about teaching the new generation of chefs that it not only takes skill but passion it can be seen through from every dish that comes out of my kitchen.”

Junior J says “This is a surreal moment for me. It’s been a long time coming and now I have an opportunity to share my music with the world thanks to J Rock Entertainment. I’m honored and grateful for the support of my city that’s why I wanted them to get a sneak preview of what’s ahead. To have Smoke E. Digglera and Black host this event is monumental. To have these two talented artists support me is a big deal and when I get the opportunity to return the favor to an up and coming artist, I will do the same.”
