Chemistry major competing in national pageant

Jackson State University senior chemistry major Jaelah Wright-Keely, a native of St. Louis, was recently named Miss Black Mississippi US Ambassador by the Miss Black US Ambassador Scholarship Organization.

“During my reign as Miss Black Mississippi US Ambassador, I will be hosting community events geared toward my platform Route 365, which stands for rejuvenating opportunities to uplift, transcend and enhance lives 365 days a year,” Wright-Keely said.

Wright-Keely plans to become a cosmetic chemist. She wants to start a fully functional, research-driven cosmetic company that develops top-tier beauty products specifically for African-American women.
