Huston-Tillotson University proudly celebrates Keliss Levone-Myers on being crowned Miss Black Austin Texas USA. A native of Maryland who now proudly calls Austin home, Levone-Myers is using her platform to champion confidence, identity, and empowerment for black youth throughout Texas and beyond.
Inspired by her own journey of self-discovery, Levone-Myers entered the competition with a mission to create meaningful change for young people, particularly Black children who may struggle with self-confidence and identity. Through her own blackness while growing up, she now embraces her heritage with pride and uses her voice, visibility, and natural hair as symbols of authenticity, self-expression, and cultural pride.
At the heart of her advocacy is Unapologetically Us, a movement dedicated to empowering Black children to recognize their worth, embrace their identity, and build lasting confidence. The initiative is grounded in three core pillars: Resilience, Representation, and Affirmation. Through these principles, Levone-Myers seeks to equip young people with the tools to overcome adversity, celebrate who they are, and thrive in environments that affirm their value and potential.
