I was chosen at the 2013 Mississippi Cherry Blossom Princess. It was a special honor for me because I was the first African American to receive the title.
Each year, one female is selected from each state to represent their State at the festival. The festival takes place every second week in April. The festival consists of many activities including meeting the Japanese ambassador, visiting different embassies and PR events. The experience was great and I hope to continue to be involved.
