Ladies of Diversity (LODi) is an organization that connects HIV positive women of color with HIV medical care. LODi is located in the Skid Row neighborhood of Downtown Los Angeles. As a pageant organization that support the education and awareness of AIDS/HIV amongst minority women, Ethnic World International organized a Beauty Day for the HIV positive women of LODi. The event was as beautiful as the women it served. Along with the All Dolled Up makeup team, we provided makeovers, massages and activities for all in attendance. The objective of the event was to share the message of the diversity in beauty and community.

As a Downtown Los Angeles resident, I consider these women as part of my community. The work of Aiisha Ferguson Ethnic World pageants and LODi are a gem to these women and I enjoyed seeing their smiling faces throughout the event.

Foreign Coin Collection Donation to the American Association of Young Numismatics
Here is what I donated and why?
Many people especially young people are obsessed with having money- notice I said "Having" not making, without the understanding of why they want it our what to do with it. Most people do not even know what money is made out of, where it came from or how it circulates. Foreign currency is even more of a mystery to most. Yet, foreign currency makes up most of the worlds local economies.
Most Americans have never experienced obsolete dollars, coins or huge transitions in currency but other parts of the world have and I think it is important for people to be aware of this. Here a Dollar is a Dollar but else where I Dollar could very well not be worth a Dollar next year.
Some of these coins I am donating have some value - other used to have a lot of value and now are worth nothing due to governmental changes, wars, etc.
The AAYN is a group of young people that are interested in how and they way in which currency works and affects society.

Organized by the President and International Director of the Ethnic World Pageants, Aiisha Ferguson; several of my sister queens and I spent the afternoon volunteering at the JWHC in Downtown Los Angeles at the Center for Community Health Downtown. The organization focuses on the health of homeless women in the Skid Row area by providing a number of services such as dental, vision, AIDS/HIV, substance abuse and mental health.
For the holiday we were invited to help facilitate a Christmas celebration for many of the clinic clients. We served food, read poems, sang Christmas Carols and handed out gift bags and raffles.

Passing On Knowledge and Wisdom Queen of the Jewel - Miss Belize International
In true Caribbean pageant pride I contributed my knowledge, time, resources ad experience to support Queen of the Jewel, Miss Annlyn Apolonio as she set out to China to compete in one of Asia’s toughest competitions.
Miss Annlyn spent several days with me as I mentored her through the customs of mainland China and Asian Pageantry. With the Caribbean’s spotty participation in inter-core international pageants I believe it is important to compete beyond the standard but at our best.

I joined the legendary Chinyere of Island Groove and fitness queen, Kanika Nikki Utley and what a workout! A room fully of lovely ladies, all shapes, sizes and nationalities dancing traditional caribbean carnival style. The caribbean connection is a challenging one to connect in a city as large as Los Angeles. Getting out and supporting your community is important to its growth.
