Basia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Basia was a well loved entertainer who was active in the Black America, Continental and Duval pageantry systems. \u00a0 She is remembered for her amazing “Liza NY” and “Car Wash” talents that she performed in pageants. \u00a0She is also often remembered as a queen with\u00a0perseverance\u00a0and dedication. \u00a0We sadly lost Basia in 2002. \u00a0She was a true gem that is sorely missed by her many fans.<\/p>\n

Basia also performed as Emanuel Corday<\/a> and was the first ever Mr. Duval<\/a>.<\/p>\n
