Hey y’all! My name is LaShae Eaddy, Miss Crossroads 2025. I was born, raised and schooled in the beautiful Newark, NJ until attending college in Reading, PA at Albright College where I earned my Bachelor of Arts majoring in English and minoring in Photography. Since graduating, I have returned home writing, performing poetry and finding my place in my community. It is also in this time that I began my journey into pageantry with MAO as my third and final stop.
In my short career as a beauty queen, I’ve learned that pageantry is not about being the prettiest girl wearing the nicest dress; it’s about discovering your best self and presenting her gracefully not just on stage but in everything you do. Every girl deserves to feel the breadth of her inherent strength, power and beauty. Pageantry has taught me how to feel mine, and I hope I can encourage other young women to discover theirs.
Thank you for supporting the Miss New Jersey Education Foundation and our titleholders.
