North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University’s 89th Miss N.C. A&T, Torree Theodore, has been crowned Miss Black Georgia, adding another prestigious title to her distinguished career in leadership, service, and pageantry.
Theodore, who is pursuing a Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, previously earned her Bachelor of Social Work magna cum laude from the John R. and Kathy R. Hairston College of Health and Human Sciences at A&T. Her commitment to social responsibility and community engagement has been evident throughout her academic journey.
A Proven Leader
During her time at A&T, Theodore showcased her leadership skills by holding key positions, including Miss Sophomore and Miss Pink Tea Rose for the Alpha Phi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. She also served as an academic senator for her college, a resident assistant, and an Aggie Success Leader.
Last year, the 38th Annual Competition of Black College Queens, hosted by the National Black College Alumni Hall of Fame Foundation, Inc., reignited Theodore’s passion for pageantry. Although she did not win that competition, the experience motivated her to pursue the Miss Black Georgia crown. She aims to leverage her platform to foster community engagement through innovative service initiatives and advocacy.
“I always think about how when I serve or when I am in these positions that I am representing something bigger than myself,” Theodore reflected. “I’m not only representing Torree anymore, I’m representing my city and state.”
Plans as Miss Black Georgia
As Miss Black Georgia, Theodore plans to build her network and engage her community, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and social responsibility. Looking ahead, she is preparing to compete for the Miss Black USA title next year.
With her impressive background and dedication to serving others, Torree Theodore continues to be a role model for students and community members, embodying leadership and empowerment.
