What is your most memorable contribution as a Campus Queen?: My most memorable contribution as a Campus Queen was when I hosted and coordinated the Second Annual Women's Empowerment Conference at Tuskegee University. It was titled, "A Purse Full of Purpose" and targeted to young collegiate women on and off campus. The goal of this conference was to encourage and uplift women while strengthening networking connections and opportunities. Over 250 women attended the conference and were amazed at the educated and powerful speakers and workshops that were held during the conference! A Purse Full of Purpose gave women the opportunity to discover their true purpose in life and how to exceed their goals in life! This is my personal contribution to Tuskegee University because it gave me the opportunity to change a life within women who are working towards their dreams!
