Snit Tewoldemedhin made history as the first from her country Eritrea to be crowned Miss Africa USA. The pageant which was founded in 2005 in Atlanta but currently head quartered in Prince Georges County Maryland has had a pause for over 3 years due to the Pandemic. The 2023 Pageant dubbed by the Founder LadyKate as “The Return” took place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Greenbelt, MD on March 18 2023. A fierce competition with very 14 intelligent, savvy and phenomenal young Leaders on stage, pledging to take the lead to champion various causes, Snit Tewoldemedhin emerged as the Queen and was crowned by her predecessor Sherylene Grice, Miss Africa USA 2019- 2023. Congratulations Queen Snit and to all the amazing, dynamic future women leaders who graced the Miss Africa stage this year, establishing a bond of sisterhood and a network to thrive and grow. Thanks to the Community who showed up in their hundreds to witness this event which today is known as the ‘Mother of African Pageants’ in the diaspora. Stay tuned and follow the Queen and her royal court of Princesses, sisters as they continue to “Take The Lead” as advocates for good causes in the community.
