Coppa's June Newsletter

"HEYYY LEMAY" here! Well, preliminary season is quickly approaching the final round. We're almost to the "Anchor Leg" of the race with 14 confirmed, qualified competitors ready to battle it out in September. May was a full month of preliminaries and we want to congratulate those who qualified.

Congratulations to Inertia TM for winning Miss Gay Fort Smith and Cinnamon for placing 1st Alternate! Next up was Miss Gay Little Rock and Melanie Masters captured the crown with Aiden Fierce taking the 1st Alternate spot. The next weekend was Miss Gay Hot Springs; Lola Lorenz won the crown and Daylen secured 1stAlternate. We returned to Little Rock for the next preliminary and congratulate Devi Diamond for winning Miss Gay Capital City and Cordelia Colucci for placing 1st Alternate. We wrapped up the month of May with Miss Gay Fayetteville where Misty Meanor took home the crown and Ella Rosa placed 1st Alternate. We congratulate all of these great entertainers and look forward to seeing them at Miss Gay Arkansas in September. We have one preliminary left: Miss Gay Elegance is July 20th in Fort Smith at Kinkeads and it's the last chance to get your spot on the MGAR stage.

The month of June is completely booked with Pride Celebrations all over the State of Arkansas. I'm especially honored and humbled to be a part of Black Pride Weekend June 6th-8th here in Little Rock. This is the first time in decades a reigning Miss Gay Arkansas of color has been able to participate in such a wonderful event. I'm truly grateful for the invitation to support the Black LGBTQ+ community.

Please refer to the Miss Gay Arkansas America Facebook page for my future scheduled appearances and events. Happy Pride!

Love Yall- Yours Truly,

Auntie Coppa
