The Miss Teen Diva Pageants contestants invite the public to the 2012 Miss Teen Diva Pageant at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 24, at the East End/Long Look Community Center. The 2011 Miss Teen Diva, Sherise Stapleton, will be giving up her crown, and the three contestants, Shaemore Smith, Deidre Samuel and Chelsea Hodge, will be competing in seven segments for the title. The segments will include Diva School Wear, Diva Party Wear, African Diva Wear, as well as other innovative segments. The theme for the 2012 Miss Teen Diva Pageant is "No Looking Back."
This is the fifth Miss Teen Diva Pageant. The committee continues to encourage the contestants to work hard and to be positive role models for other young people. The current Miss Teen Diva and the 2012 contestants have taken part in several community activities including reading to children and assisting at a soup kitchen.
