Get to Know Miss Black Oregon
Jaliyah Elliott is a passionate advocate for women’s empowerment, a dedicated mentor, and a proud representative of Oregon in the Miss Black USA Pageant. As Miss Black Oregon USA, Jaliyah is making history—Oregon has not had a Miss Black Oregon USA since 1994. She is committed to using her platform, H.E.R Inner Strength, to support and uplift women on their personal and professional journeys.
H.E.R Inner Strength is more than just a platform—it’s a movement dedicated to healing, empowerment, and resilience. Jaliyah believes that women, regardless of their background, deserve a safe space to grow, learn, and rise above adversity.
Through workshops, mentorship programs, and community discussions, she provides women with the resources and support needed to overcome challenges, build self-confidence, and take control of their futures. She is particularly passionate about creating a support system for young women, and teenagers who often lack the guidance and community they need to thrive.
Beyond her advocacy, Jaliyah wears many hats—she is a model, stylist, caregiver, and flight attendant who balances her career in service and fashion with her mission to inspire change. As a woman of faith who actively attends church, she is deeply committed to using her spirituality as a guiding force in her work and personal growth. She actively works with youth in her community, modeling the values of hard work, resilience, and self-belief.
This summer, Jaliyah will proudly represent Oregon at the Miss Black USA National Pageant in Washington, D.C. As she prepares for this life-changing opportunity, she is calling on her community to help support her journey. Donations will not only contribute to essential expenses such as travel, wardrobe, and competition fees but will also help expand the outreach of H.E.R Inner Strength. Every contribution directly fuels mentorship programs, community workshops, and events designed to uplift and educate women.
Supporting Jaliyah is about more than just a pageant—it’s about investing in the empowerment of women and the next generation of leaders. Donations can be made via Cash App ($JaliyahElliot), Gofund Me (https://gofund.me/21a60b0b), or Zelle (jaliyahelliott8@gmail.com). Sponsorship opportunities are also available, offering branding benefits for businesses that want to support her cause and be recognized for their commitment to social impact.
