Miss Clarksville Juneteenth Pageant

Participating in the pageant has taught me a lot about leadership and how to be a positive role model for others. My favorite thing about being a title holder is being able to encourage others and serve my local community.

When I’m not in pageant mode, I really enjoy playing volleyball because it is fun and gives me a chance to spend time with my teammates.

Hi, I’m Aliyanna and I’m happy to be your 2026 Little Miss Clarksville Juneteenth.

I really enjoyed the excitement on pageant day, and meeting all the contestants. Something I learned about in this pageant is an amazing artist, Jade Orlando, she’s a book illustrator and cat lover that looks just like me. 🐈

Now that I’m a titleholder, I love getting to experience things with the other queens as a group.

My favorite part about being a titleholder is having the opportunity to connect with people and use my platform to make a meaningful impact. I love that the crown gives me a greater opportunity to serve, amplify voices, and encourage others to recognize their own power. Being Miss Clarksville Juneteenth is not just about wearing a crown. It’s about showing up for my community and creating something that lasts beyond my reign.

Participating in the pageant taught me the importance of believing in myself, embracing my individuality, and being confident in the woman I am becoming. I learned that being a titleholder is about more than appearance or competition. It requires commitment, compassion, leadership, and a genuine desire to serve. Most importantly, I learned that I don’t have to wait for a crown to make a difference, but I can use the crown to reach even further.

“The Standard Is Excellence,” is a reminder that excellence is about how we use what we’ve been given to serve, uplift, and create opportunities for others.

What an honor to celebrate so many amazing people in our community.

We’re excited to be attending the 5th Annual BLK Xcellence Banquet next Saturday as presenters.

We are thrilled for the opportunity to network with the community and present some of Clarksville’s most deserving leaders, founders, and entrepreneurs with awards for the service and dedication to our community.

See you there 👑🫶🏾
