Miss South Carolina Black International is an elite program with the primary focus on “Empowering Women of Color to Reach Their Full Potential.”  The Miss South Carolina Black International (MSCBI) provides the opportunity for young ladies from across the state to represent their community in a positive perspective.  Local Queens have the opportunity to advocate for causes that are prevalent to their communities and their lives.   While some young ladies only dream of being a Queen, these young ladies are living their dream.  They recognize that pageants are more than a beautiful face, smile, sash and crown.  They know this is an opportunity for them to give a voice and face to the social issues that directly impact their community.

The MSCBI program will help local Queens develop their skills to be successful leaders and mentors, increase confidence, poise, improve interviewing skills and aptitude for public speaking.  This experience will build on their accomplishments and expand their educational and professional opportunities.  They will join the ranks of women, such as Oprah Winfrey, Vanessa Williams, and Halle Berry, who used pageants to launch their careers.

PURPOSE  

The Miss South Carolina Black International Scholarship Pageant’s mission is to empower women of color through out the state by providing them a platform in which they will gain the opportunity to speak out about issues that directly affect their lives and their community.  Miss South Carolina Black International is sponsored by My Sister’s Keeper Ministry of Restoration.  My Sister’s Keeper was founded in 1998 as a 501 c 3 nonprofit, grassroots, community based organization.  

The Miss South Carolina Black International program will provide positive mentoring opportunities for all women of color.  Miss South Carolina Black International focuses on three specific platforms:

1. Voluntarism and Community involvement

2.  Educational Programs

3. Mentoring Programs.
