Molaea-Rene Goodman, a 2023 graduate of Penn State Abington, is representing Pennsylvania in the Miss Black USA pageant on August 6.

The national pageant includes the traditional talent segment and modeling a formal gown. 

Last year, Goodman won the Miss Black Pennsylvania title with a mental health platform.

“This pageant is not just about the glamour. It is about helping me get into the community and spreading positive messages and becoming an inspiration and role model to girls and women who look like me,” she said.
