I am always proud of any accomplishment made by anyone who has overcome certain odds, but when it's someone from my hometown, it's that much more special to me. Such is the case with LaQuitta Wilkins.

LaQuitta "Shai" Wilkins announced this morning via her Facebook page that she will be serving as Miss Black Alabama USA 2016. She plans to use her platform to improve our communities.
