Whereas, the members of

for winning Miss South Carolina 2023 on June 24, 2023, and serving as a significant 
ambassador for the Palmetto State during her reign; and

Whereas, possessing 
both talent and intelligence, the twenty-six-year-old beauty competed as Miss 
Bridge City and was crowned Miss South Carolina in the finals of the 
competition held at the historic Township Auditorium in Columbia; and

Whereas, Miss Samuel is 
grateful for the opportunity her title is giving her to advocate as a creative 
communicator, change agent, and champion for girls. For her talent, she 
performed a monologue and won the Miss Evening Gown Award; and

Whereas, she has earned over 
eighty-five thousand dollars in scholarships through the Miss South Carolina 
Scholarship Organization for her placement in the competition, her community 
service, and dedication to her platform; and

Whereas, after graduating from 
the University of South Carolina, Miss Samuel began her career as a lifestyle

strategist. She earned an MBA with a focus in marketing from Louisiana State 
University Shreveport in 2023 and currently works with SCETV as an on-air host 
and producer; and

Whereas, Miss Samuel founded 
the nonprofit mentoring organization, iShapeMe, that empowers girls and young 
women to shape themselves mentally, physically, and spiritually; and

Whereas, during her reign, she 
provided a gracious and graceful role model that represents the combined 
qualities of intellect, talent, loveliness, and charm admired by all who know 
her; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina Senate takes great pleasure in recognizing such an outstanding young 
woman and representative of this great State as Jada Samuel, and the members 
wish her well as she continues her reign and pursues her dreams in the years to 
come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the

exceptional discipline, aspirations, and talent that have enabled her to 
represent the Palmetto State with dignity and poise.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Jada M. Samuel.
