Congratulations to Yolanda Makle.....Ms. Galaxy 2011!!!!
(Yolanda Makle, 2011 Ms. Galaxy Photogenic Winner)
(2011 Galaxy Pageants Queens. Clockwise from top right - Teen, Ms, Mrs, Miss)
No stranger to pageantry, Yolanda is an amazing competitor who has won or placed runner up in several national pageants.
(4th runner up to Miss Galaxy 2005)
(Ms. Belleza Latina 2009)
More than just a pretty face, this engineer &; businesswoman is a proud alum of the
University of North Carolina and President of Yolanda Makle Photography!!! Perhaps you're now thinking, "I've seen her somewhere before. No, not at an appearance". Well you're absolutely right. In the summer of 2009, Yolanda beat a bevy of contestants, ultimately two other finalists, for the
job of the
Washington Nationals In-Game Co-Host!!!
Despite all her titles and placements, Yolanda's most notable contribution to the industry was the founding of the
Ethnic World Pageant System in 2005. Her vision for establishing the pageant was "
to give ALL women of color the opportunity to help educate the world on cultural diversity". With all that Yolanda has done through her time in pageantry and considering her very first Ethnic World teen queen has gone on to become
Miss America her vision was dead on and has moved beyond women of color.
Continued success Yolanda as you move forward in showing the world what ANY woman can do a little tenacity, faith, preparation, hard work and motivation.
