Zoe Zahara was crowned Miss BG PRIDE on October 1, 2022.
She competed on a platform of connecting community to services.
After her experiences helping survivors of conversion therapy during her time as 1st Alternate to Miss BG Pride 2021, Zoe saw the lack of community knowledge of and access to various services available to LGBTQIA+ persons.
Zoe is dedicated to helping educate our community about and connect people to available services. She has identified a set of special days and initiatives for which she wishes to increase awareness and support through a variety of personal challenges, activities, events and public service announcements.
Knowledge is power! Your Miss BG Pride 2022 wants to empower you by encouraging you to know your status and get an HIV test!
By partnering with Bowling Green's local HIV/AIDS clinic, Zoe demonstrated how quick and easy it is to get tested. She recorded a FaceBook Live Video from door-to-done in under 10 minutes! See the video on FaceBook on Zoe Zahara's page or at this link:

Zoe hopes each of you will get your test this season.
