Miss Juneteenth

Turquoise Jones (Nicole Beharie) a former Miss Juneteenth who is struggling financially.  She had high hopes about winning the pageant but her dreams did not come true. When  her daughter Kai (Alexis Chikaeze) becomes of  age to participate in the Miss Juneteenth scholarship competition she enrolls her in Hope's of giving her a bright future. But Kai does not want to do pageantry she is passionate about dancing and she wants to join the dance team. The pageantry brought about  a rift between mother and daughter.  Will Turquoise force her daughter into a life she does not want or would she allow Kai follow her passion and allow her to dance? 

The message in this movie is that people should be allowed to make their own choices in life and choice a life they want. You may think you know what's best for someone else and try to convince that person to follow your decision.  The truth is you don't know the person next to you as much as that person know him or herself.  And also don't try to force your life on someone else  especially your child.  A parent may say "I did thi in college so you too must do it!" Or "I went to this university so you must attend it" . That is so wrong,  everyone as the right to make a decision concerning their life cos at the end of the day it's their life and they are the ones living it not you.
