MISS
VIRGINIA USA 2003: Dr. Meron "Mimi" Abraham
24-year
old Mimi Abraham, a practicing Pharmacist in the state of Virginia,
has always dreamed of becoming a star, but finishing up school
was her priority. She told the pageant organizers, “becoming
part of the entertainment industry has long been a dream of mine,
however, education was always a major focus. Now that I have successfully
completed the Doctor of Pharmacy program, I feel better prepared
to pursue my dreams.”
That dream was partly realized when she was
recently crowned as Miss Virginia USA 2003. She asserts, “I
have found this pageant to be a wonderful provider of skills and
exposure that will lead me towards a great future!”
A native of Ethiopia, Dr. Mimi is tri-lingual
and fluent in Amharic, Spanish and English. When she is not practicing
pharmacy, her time is devoted to helping her community. Her most
recent public service was dedicated to helping the families of
the victims of September 11. Mimi recounts: “During this
time I devoted hours to raising money…through the United
Way and the Salvation Army.”
On March 24, Mimi represented her state
in the Miss USA competition in San Antonio, Texas, becoming the
first woman of Ethiopian origin to compete for the national title.
