The Voice of The Heart Truth®

In addition to my platform of improving the state of higher education in the state of Louisiana, I am also a voice of The Heart Truth® campaign of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to make women nationwide aware of the danger of heart disease.

The Miss Black Louisiana USA Team is currently planning TWO events in conjunction with The Heart Truth®:

National Wear Red Day

On Friday, February 3, 2012, National Wear Red Day^®, Americans will wear red to show their support for women's heart health. This observance promotes the Red Dress symbol and provides an opportunity for everyone to unite in The Heart Truth's^® life-saving awareness-to-action movement by putting on a favorite red dress, red shirt, red tie, or Red Dress Pin. Together, we will continue to urge women to protect their hearts, as heart disease is the #1 killer of women.

Miss Black Louisiana USA will be starting National Wear Red Day off with a bang by hosting a Celebrity Date Auction here in Baton Rouge at 600 Main! Celebs include New England Patriot Eric Alexander, critically-acclaimed author Cece Chapman, and Miss Southern University 2011-12 Chisolu Isiadind to name a few!

Capital City Heart Walk

Miss Black Louisiana USA is proud to join the American Heart Association's Heart Walk to promote physical activity to build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. We have formed a team to participate in the Capital City Heart Walk on March 24, 2012 at 8:00am beginning at the LSU Old Front Nine here in Baton Rouge.
