Miss Juneteenth

Miss Juneteenth

Turqise Jones is a single mom who manages a household, a teenager and everything that gets down at Wayman’s BBQ & Lounge. Turquoise was crowned Miss Juneteenth – a title given once slavery was abolished. Life for the beauty queen didn’t turn out well but she is hell-bent on her daughter to become the bona fide beauty queen even if she doesn’t want to. 



Filmed in honey-bourn south that is rich with Texan charm. A woman radiating grace tries to survive while finding ways to thrive. This soulful journey shows a determined woman careful about her rich history and present shortcomings marching towards self realization.
