Ja’Dayia Kursh always knew she wanted to be a cowgirl growing up so it’s not a surprise that in 2017 on her 17th birthday, she was crowned Miss Rodeo Coal Hill of Arkansas, making her the first Black rodeo queen in the state.

Ja’Dayia became involved in rodeo at the age of 13 and said that the industry, “comes with trials and tribulations.” She’s faced ridicule among her peers because of her race, but says the challenges have made her stronger. Kursh is also a model for Wrangler Jeans and set to graduate from the University of Arkansas in December, with plans to go to law school. She said she wants people to know to just be themselves, “do you, and be yourself out loud.” (Source: 5NewsOnline.com)

Randi Myles is the mid-day host on Detroit’s Praise Network. Randi’s mom knew she was destined to be in some form of entertainment when even as a small child, she would pretend a pencil was a microphone and sing and charm family and friends. Later she would sing in church and college choirs. However, it wasn’t until she attended Specs Howard School of Media Arts, that Ms. Myles would find her true voice. Randi enjoys writing about the city of Detroit, faith, and the community.
