About Miss Black Rodeo USA 2025: Samirah Aliyah Miller
Samirah Miller, 29, is a leader in the agricultural and rodeo communities. Her academic achievements include studies at Pima Community College, Bethany College, Sonoran University of Health Sciences and Maharishi International University, where she earned master's degrees in clinical nutrition and regenerative organic agriculture.
Samirah’s contributions to academia and agriculture are significant. She has lectured at Merrimack University on the importance of our food system, served on the diversity, equity and inclusion board at Sonoran University, and was a peer leader at both Sonoran and Maharishi International University. Her community involvement also includes participating as a panelist with Wisconsin Extension’s Heat Prevention for Farmers initiative as well as Oregon’s Farm to School, where she addressed procurement challenges and food equity in schools.
As founder of Alchemy Farms, Samirah – also known as Farmer Miller – is committed to expanding her initiative into a nationwide and, ultimately, global movement. Her goal is to reconnect communities – especially BIPOC communities – with the land through regenerative agriculture, cultural land stewardship and food sovereignty. She sees Alchemy Farms as a bridge between tradition and innovation, aiming to create a more just and nourished future for all.
Samirah’s roles as a farmer, educator and barrel racer reflect her dedication to paving the way for young girls and women of color in agriculture and rodeo. She understands the importance of representation and intends to use the Miss Black Rodeo USA platform to amplify the stories of Black women in agriculture, to honor their traditions, and to inspire the next generation in taking pride and finding belonging in every arena – from the fields to the rodeo grounds.
