Oumie Garba, a Miss Gambia USA, gazes toward the ocean in Santa Monica, California. Oumie is the founder of Queen Status, a network and boutique that uses live events, a podcast, royal-themed jewelry and more to help other women recognize that they, too, were created to be queens. “I want to be a voice of hope and encouragement for other women,” Oumie said. “Whether they’re winning pageants or struggling in the slums, I want every woman to see her inherent royalty.” For more information, visit http://queenstatusboutique.com
