The Madison County Commission will recognize two young women for their service and positive impact on the community during its February 11 meeting as part of Black History Month observances.
District 6 Commissioner Violet Edwards will honor Anna Grace Tucker and Jazmine McKenzie, presenting each with a formal resolution acknowledging their achievements and ongoing contributions to Madison County.
Tucker, a Huntsville native, is a junior at Troy University, where she is a member of the university’s dance line and the M.I.S.S. Elite Organization, a group focused on empowering women through mentorship and service.
She was recently crowned Miss Troy University 2026 and is using her platform to raise awareness through her “Say It Out Loud” initiative, which focuses on speech sound disorders.
McKenzie, a Huntsville-based touring artist originally from Birmingham, gained national recognition as a Season 28 finalist on “The Voice.” She began her music career in her home church and later performed on stages throughout her youth and as a student at Alabama A&M University.
McKenzie continues to pursue a career in music with a focus on excellence and mentorship, aiming to uplift and inspire the next generation of artists.
“These two ladies act as an inspiration to us all, sharing their talent, wit and platforms to spread positivity and uplift our community,” Edwards said. “During Black History Month, we especially want to spotlight their accolades and show the community how they both lead by example and make our community proud.”
Madison County Commission meetings are open to the public, and community members are invited to attend the February 11 meeting as Tucker and McKenzie are recognized.
