"Little Nubian Prince Hawaii 1994"
“I was only four years old when my parents entered me in the Nubian Prince/Princess Hawaii Pageant in 1994. I learned a lot about my culture and being a confident individual. About February, 2010, the Raineys found me on Facebook! I am now 22 years old and attending Seattle Pacific University (Washington), studying Psychology & Spanish. The skills I learned in my pageant development when I was 4 years old have been with me all my life. They have helped me in school, college and with my many community and volunteer projects. I love to help others! When I reconnected with the Raineys, I could not stop thanking them for all they taught me in my childhood! It's so nice to be reconnected with them again!"
Me now, March 2011.

"Mrs. Nubian Hawaii 1998"
“The Raineys came to my Horse Rescue Facility in January 2010! They researched the web until they found me and then made contact! They are wonderful people and have helped me in my life too! I received a valuable college scholarship from when I won the pageant, and it enriched my life! I still have my crown and sash which I wore when they came to visit me! They were so happy to see me in it again! I am now a grandma and love what I do for the community and the horses I rescue.”

"Mr. Nubian Hawaii 1994"
"The Raineys sought me out at a picnic in 1994 as they were seeking men for their Mr. Nubian Hawaii Pageant. At first, I was not interested, but after I attended their orientation and saw how genuine they were, I was ready! I had no idea I would win and become a stronger Black Man through my experience. When the earthquakes struck my home country of Haiti, I felt compelled to speak out through the news on behalf of my country and thank people for helping Haiti. I remembered my communication and esteem training and applied it with the compassion I learned in my Nubian Pageant Systems personal development. It stays with you for life!"

"Mrs. Nubian Hawaii 1997"
"When approached about the Nubian Pageant, I thought I could never compete in such an elaborate event, let alone win. I was just a shy country girl who never spoke in front of crowds. The experience gained by being a member of the Nubian Family has proven to be priceless, and due to this training I am able to articulate effectively in front of any group--no matter how large or small."
"The Nubian Pageant Program also provided me a substantial college scholarship to attend Hawaii Pacific University that merited results of me achieving my Nursing degree that fostered my ultimate goal as to becoming a professional nurse. Today, I am employed as an Operating Room Nurse at Fort Hood Texas caring for those who proudly serve our country. Had it not been for the teachings of the Nubian Pageant Family, I would never have had the courage to approach who I consider the most powerful man and woman in the world, President Barack Obama & Our First Lady!"
