Meet Alexandra Escobar Crowned Miss Clayton County 2024

K. Alexandra Escobar, the daughter of first-generation immigrants from Ecuador, has been crowned Miss Clayton County and is the current title holder of Miss Clayton County 2024. Born in New Jersey and raised in Clayton County, Alexandra has seamlessly merged the vibrancy of the Northeast with the warmth and hospitality of the Southeast, embodying the best of both worlds.

Alexandra, known as "The Dark Horse," has built a remarkable career helping creators and business owners realize their true potential. Her expertise spans creative direction, production management, event coordination, and consulting for e-commerce brands. Through her company, The Dark Horse MCE (media, consulting, and events), she has dedicated herself to supporting underdogs in achieving their dreams while also fulfilling her own.

Alexandra's journey has been driven by a profound desire to help others. She reflects, "God has a funny way of showing you what your purpose is. My heart's superpower was to give rather than to take, and I saw many people flourish because their happiness made me happy." However, this selflessness sometimes led to others taking advantage of her. Determined to find her own purpose, she established The Dark Horse MCE to empower others while discovering her own path.

In 2019, Alexandra believed her purpose was in acting. By 2024, her journey had taken a different, yet aligned, path. In 2022, she decided to seek new challenges and experiences, culminating in her participation in the Miss Georgia USA Pageant. The pageant was an eye-opening experience, where she met empowering and resilient women who shared wisdom and kindness. It taught her about organization, networking with industry professionals, and the importance of teamwork.

Inspired by her pageant experience, Alexandra wanted to give back to her community. She partnered with city officials of Clayton County to organize a pop-up shop at Lee Street Park in Jonesboro this past July.

As Miss Clayton County, Alexandra Escobar's journey is just beginning. Her dedication to helping others, her entrepreneurial spirit, and her commitment to community service make her a role model for many. Let's watch how she use her crown for the remaining of her title year. She embodies the spirit of resilience and purpose, proving that with determination and heart, anything is possible.
