FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, MISS USA, MISS TEEN USA AND MISS AMERICA ARE ALL BLACK WOMEN
For the first time in history the top beauty pageants in the country have simultaneously elevated this truth. Three Black women are currently wearing crowns as the 2019 Miss USA, Miss Teen USA and Miss America. When Cheslie Kryst’s name was announced as Miss USA on Thursday she completed the historic trio with pageant winners 2019 Miss America Nia Franklin and recently crowned 2019 Miss Teen USA Kaliegh Garris.
Both Garris and Kryst followed behind Nia Franklin who in September 2018, sprinkled Black Girl Magic onto the 2019 pageant season when she was crowned Miss America.
In 2012 Black women simultaneously wore crowns as Miss Teen USA and Miss USA.
Congratulations to these 2019 beauty queens. Together they exude beauty, brains and Black girl magic!
