Kindall "Sunshine" Johnson, Miss Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University, is representing Florida’s only public historically black college in Ebony Magazine’s annual HBCU Campus Queen competition.The top ten contestants will be featured in the September 2011 issue of the magazine. Online voting is underway and will end at 11:59 PM (CT) on May 29, 2011.
Johnson is a native of Tampa, Fla. who is majoring in public relations. Her career goal is to become a U.S. Department of State Foreign Service officer in North Africa.
During her reign, Johnson launched the “Miss FAMU has a Suit for You” initiative, which aimed to help FAMU’s low-income male students acquire business attire. Over six months, she collected over one thousand articles of clothing donated by alumni, elected officials and professors. The items were dry cleaned by Randolph’s Alterations of Tallahassee and distributed to over 140 FAMU male students.
“I was amazed to receive the amount of news coverage and support from the community, and alumni of HBCUs throughout the country,” Johnson said.
