I was super ecstatic to have the honor and privilege to witness the crowning of Deshauna Barber for Ms. USA 2016. It definitely reiterates and reinforces my point of view about black women, there power, beauty, dedication and knowledge. ( Fist bump).. What I am hoping this shows to our younger generation is that just as we elected, inaugurated and put our First African American president Barack Obama into office in 2009. All things are possible. It was not so very long ago that we as a people had to sneak to read and write. Now with opportunities so readily available to us. We should never cease our efforts towards becoming more knowledgeable and educated.
Ms. Barber has had her way paved for her by 5 other stunning and educated ladies of color.
Ms USA 1990- Carole Gist, Ms USA 1993-Kenya Moore, Ms USA 1995 Chelsi Smith, Ms USA 2000 Lynette Cole, Ms USA 2002 Shauntay Hinton, Ms USA 2007 Rachel Smith and Ms. USA 2008 Crystle Stewart. These sisters all embarked on a journey that led them to platforms that hopefully one day will uplift, inspire and give a voice to little brown girls all over the world. What this win should mean is that. While your body may be desired by many. You have so much more to offer. And the sky is the limit.
Let your light so shine!!!!!
Stay Blessed and Beautiful my loves!!! # Smooches
