EAST GREENSBORO, N.C. (Nov. 7, 2024) – North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University’s 89th Miss N.C. A&T, Torree Theodore, has been crowned Miss Black Georgia.
Theodore ‘24, who graduated magna cum laude with a BSW from the John R. and Kathy R. Hairston College of Health and Human Sciences, continues to impact her community through leadership, service and pageantry.
As a student at A&T, Theodore served her campus community through a diverse range of leadership and academic advancement opportunities. She held the titles of Miss Sophomore and Miss Pink Tea Rose for the Alpha Phi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. She was also an academic senator for her college, resident assistant, and Aggie Success Leader.
Theodore is pursuing her MSW at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a concentration in community, management and policy practice. Her goal is to “amplify the importance of social responsibility and inclusivity in all spaces.”
She competed in the 38th Annual Competition of Black College Queens hosted by the National Black College Alumni Hall of Fame Foundation, Inc., last year. Although she didn’t win, this reignited her passion for pageants, inspiring her to pursue the Miss Black Georgia crown.
Her plan is to continue building her network with her platform as Miss Black Georgia. She looks to engage in her community through innovative service initiatives and advocation.
“I always think about how when I serve or when I am in these positions that I am representing something bigger than myself. I’m not only representing Torree anymore, I’m representing my city and state,” she said.
Theodore is preparing to compete for the Miss Black USA title next year.
