Patrice Harrison Talks Founding Miss Black International Ambassador, Controversy with Nat'l Directors & Heading to the Bahamas

Pageants & Prosecco, The Podcast

You may have seen the contestants of the Miss Black International Ambassador (MBIA) pageant out in your city or blowing up your feeds with their good deeds. It's all apart of the game. The Miss Black International Ambassador pageant grew from the mind of founder Patrice Harrison's desire to see more Black women become true agents of change in their communities and a need for a Black pageant who was focused on developing ladies who are doing good in their neighborhoods well before stepping on stage.

However, the MBIA system has faced some dark days and quite a few obstacles during it's infancy. After a clause in another system's rules prevented women for signing up for her organization. Patrice breaks down this minor inconvenience for us and spills a little tea on her thoughts and feelings surrounding the rule and how she is not allowing it to hinder her leadership.

Grab your glass and cheers on Patrice and the entire 15-person Miss Black International Ambassador leadership team and the system as she joins us just hours after announcing the newest location her 2020 international competition: the Bahamas!!!!
