“👑🎓 THANKS TO JAY-Z, HER HOME IS AMERICA 🇺🇸

In December 2022, our Queen Samantha Samaka received a $40,000 scholarship from Jay-Z’s Roc Nation School of Music, Sports & Entertainment at Long Island University in Brooklyn, New York — making history as the first Black woman from Toronto, Canada to receive it, as reported by BLACK ENTERPRISE, YAHOO, and AFROTECH. 📰✨

She came to New York to study Vocal Performance at LIU… and she never left. Today, she continues her education right here in the city, studying Video Arts and Technology at the City University of New York (CUNY). 🎥📚

Born in Nigeria. Raised in Toronto. Based in New York City — and a proud NYC resident. New York tested her. America challenged her. Bullying, setbacks, survival — she turned every chapter into purpose. 💪🏾

Now the girl Jay-Z invested in is crowned Miss Supraglobal USA 2027, carrying the United States to the international stage. 👑🗽
