Queen Contest Fundraiser

The purpose of the Queen Contest is to raise funds to support national and chapter level programs which are in alignment with the mission of the Association to preserve the legacy of the Montford Point Marines. Programs include, but are not limited to, activities to educate the public about the history of Montford Point Camp, North Carolina and the nearly 20,000 African American men who trained there from 26 August 1942 – 9 September 1949; and programs that support service to the community which encourages comradeship, fellowship, and Esprit De Corps common to all members of the Association. 

Meet the 2026 Atlanta Chapter 5 Queen


Taija Singleton is honored to represent Atlanta Chapter 5 as a Queen Contest candidate and proudly supports the mission and legacy of the National Montford Point Marine Association. As the great-granddaughter of a Montford Point Marine, she carries a deep appreciation for the courage, resilience, and sacrifice of the men who helped change the course of history and open doors for future generations.

Taija enjoys serving others and staying involved in her community. In the Atlanta area, she has volunteered with organizations such as Hands On Atlanta, the Atlanta Community Food Bank, local church outreach programs, the YMCA’s World of Fun program, the UNCF Health Run/Walk, the National Black Arts Festival, and the Atlanta Mission’s My Sister’s House.

Her journey has led her to the 2024-25 Atlanta Zacchaeus Fellowship, where she collaborates with like-minded changemakers to advance social and economic equity. She also contributes to the Martin Luther King Center, helping to mobilize resources and support civic engagement.

These experiences helped grow her passion for understanding people and communities, which led her to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Columbus State University. Guided by her faith, love for family, and commitment to community, she continues to look for ways to uplift and serve others.

Taija is grateful for the opportunity to participate in the Queen Contest fundraiser and support Atlanta Chapter 5’s efforts to raise awareness for its scholarship and community programs. She is especially thankful for the love, encouragement, and support she has received from her family, friends, and community along the way.
