Pageant Founder/Owner

Ms. Lucas is also the former "Miss Black Charlotte" 2010, Ms. Central NC AUS 2025, Elite Woman Ms. NC. 2025. Ms. Lucas currently serves as Ms. North Carolina AUS 2026. With over 10 years of pageantry experience Ms. Lucas created the LMNC USA Pageant in 2012, and in 2025 she designed an ambassador program for middle and high school girls. Whether it is giving a crown, or receiving a crown, Ms. Lucas is excited to uplift and empower young girls and the youth. 

 The Little Miss NC USA STEAM Pageant/Ambassador Program

 is a youth empowerment program and scholarship competition, designed to inspire, educate, and uplift girls ages 5–18 across the state of North Carolina. Unlike traditional pageants, our program blends the elegance of pageantry with the innovation of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), creating a dynamic platform that celebrates both inner and outer brilliance, while building not only their character, but their mental health, and self-esteem. 

Our goal is to shape the next generation of confident, community-conscious leaders by focusing on three pillars:

Academic Enrichment -through STEAM-focused workshops and activities.

Wellness & Mental Health- through affirmations, emotional wellness exercises, and community conversations.

Community Engagement- through service projects, health education, and local partnerships.

Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to ensuring that no girl is left behind, offering scholarship opportunities, pageant coaching, and engaging STEAM workshops to help girls and their families reach their full potential.
