“The Power of Words” and a date with Miss United States
Wow what an awesome event this week with the Atlanta Jaycees. It was a huge turnout at Park Tavern with LOTS of new faces, several new members, and of course, a special appearance by none other than Miss United States, Jessica Black.
Before I get into Jessica’s presentation (and her captivating theme: “The Power of Words”), I should point out a little about what the Jaycees are all about. Not only is it a great place to network and connect with other young entrepreneurs, this group is all about giving back to the community. This is especially evident in their event schedule this coming month:
“Hero for a Day” – July 16th – Georgia’s largest field day event for children infected or affected by HIV/AIDS.
“Cocktails for Kidneys” – July 21st – Young Professionals fundraiser benefitting Camp Independence, a six day overnight camp for medically fragile children and adolescents with kidney disease or who have heart, liver, lung, or kidney transplants.
Their commitment to charities and giving back is just one reason why it’s my #1 favorite young professionals group in Atlanta. It’s awesome, you should seriously check it out.
Ok so back to my date with Miss United States (haha ok not really, but I did have a great conversation with her afterwards, she’s super cool, more on that in a minute).
Now you may be thinking, “Oh geez, another beauty queen, probably with an entourage, PR staff, people telling her what to do and how to act (remember Kramer on that Seinfeld episode? Classic), just like all the others…right?” Not exactly. I mean, I’m not a big fan of beauty pageants (sure I’ll watch for a few minutes, you know for the talent show part haha), and beauty queens in general. I don’t pay attention to this stuff. That’s what made this Jaycees event so interesting. Jessica is the real deal, here’s why…
Her “off the cuff” speech (she talked non-stop with no script for like 30 minutes and it was all good stuff) was centered around this video (only 9 million some views!):
Knowing “The Power of Words” and combining that with her life motto ”Dare to Dream take the Journey”, Jessica has had some amazing success already, both personally and professionally. She’s sold for IBM, modeled for top dress designers, and helped raise tons of money for local and national charities. Cool huh?
Totally. What’s really cool though, is when you talk with her, you realize that she’s super down to earth, genuine, authentic, and pretty much the complete opposite of the stereo-typical blonde bombshell beauty queen. (lol)
What I admire most about her is that not only is shededicated to giving back and helping others, but she has clearly found her purpose in life and is truly living a life in line with that purpose. It’s cool to see. I encourage you to learn more about Jessica and the many charities she’s a part of.

"Japan Rises" by Project MF Raised $42K in ONE NIGHT! Miss United States 2010 Jessica Black was proud to be a Celebrity Host!
This amazing event was for a great cause held at MF Buckhead Sushi Restaurant. Alex Kinjo owner of MF Buckhead, was over joyed with the results!
http://www.mfbuckhead.com/charity/index.html
I've been blessed to travel all over the US this year and participate in over 200+ charity events - the "Japan Rises" Project MF was one of my absolute favorites! It was a chance to give back to thousands of people in Japan who need the world's help for a long time to come.
Don't stop giving now... you can still donate $10 dollars to the Japan Relief by texting 90999 on your cell phone, the donations go to the National Red Cross.
A huge thanks to Alex and the Crew at MF Buckhead for allowing me to be apart of such an amazing event! If more business owners stepped up to the challenge and hosted events like "Japan Rises", the effect would be absolutely amazing for charities all across the nation!
Thanks Alex & MF Buckhead - you guys Rock! Much Love - Miss United States 2010, Jessica Black

Background for event: |
On March 11, 2011, one of the most powerful earthquakes in recorded history hit the east coast of Honshu, Japan, triggering an extremely destructive tsunami minutes later. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced from their homes, nearly 10,000 are confirmed dead, and over 16,000 Japanese people are unaccounted for. During this very difficult time, the people of Japan are in our thoughts and prayers. Our charity fundraiser, "Project MF: Japan Rises", is an initiative of a relief effort, with our partner Habitat for Humanity Japan, to raise funds for Japan will be held on Wednesday, April, 2011 at MF Buckhead from 6:30 pm to 11:00 pm. In the short-term, Habitat for Humanity Japan is mobilizing its pool of local volunteers and recruiting others to support the Japanese government's initial clean-up and relief operation, which will start in earnest after the search and rescue operations have finished. Longer-term, Habitat for Humanity will continue to provide volunteer support to rebuild the disaster-stricken areas of the country. Habitat for Humanity International will also assist Habitat for Humanity Japan in rebuilding its own capacity to serve families in need of shelter within the Asia-Pacific region and around the world. Habitat for Humanity is not just here in the US it's across the world. If you are a Habitat volunteer there are ways you can get involved to help Japan Relief! |
