ATLANTA – State Representatives Angela Moore (D-Decatur) and Doreen Carter (D- Lithonia) hosted the inaugural Debutante Experience and Scholarship Program on Tuesday, Oct. 4, at the Georgia State Capitol.

Program participants included rising high school juniors and seniors from DeKalb, Rockdale, Henry and Newton County Public Schools.

During the event, each debutante trainee made a presentation on a subject of their choosing to enhance their civic engagement skills, knowledge and social development. The presentations included the formal reading of an individualized letter written to an elected official of their choice.

Reps. Moore and Carter provided a tour of the Capitol. The trainees had a chance to meet Melisa Mims, founder and director of Showtime Pros, Inc. and “The Debutante Experience.”

The purpose of the Debutant Experience and Scholarship Program is to enhance personal, civic and leadership development through structured educational workshops; promote high academic achievement and provide scholarships for higher education; promote servant leadership through volunteerism and community service; promote high ethical standards, character

development, good citizenship and social graces; promote camaraderie and positive relationships with other young women; and promote artistic expression and health through dance and movement.  

“I am excited to welcome these young women from ‘the East side of the A’ as our inaugural class of debutantes,” said Rep. Moore. “I look forward to reintroducing this lost tradition as a positive form of mentorship and leadership development for women.”

Rep. Carter said she also enjoyed having the opportunity to welcome the inaugural class of the Debutante Experience.

“It was wonderful engaging with the students and spending time with them. I believe that the program will make a great impact on their lives and what they are doing in the community,” said Carter. 

The program will culminate with the Debutante Scholarship Ball on Feb. 25, 2023.
