A 26-year-old entrepreneur from Texas was named Miss USA on Friday, besting 50 other beauty queens for the coveted crown.
Crystle Stewart, of Missouri City, Texas, runs a party-planning and motivational speaking company, as well as modeling professionally. She says she wants to dedicate her life to international philanthropy.
"I want to talk to people about how to set a goal and achieve it," she told The Associated Press after the show. "Because I just achieved my goal."
Stewart edged out first runner-up Leah Laviano of Mississippi and Tiffany Andrade of New Jersey.
Stewart was headed for the publicity circuit. She said she was eager to travel and spread her message of self-improvement to young women. She noted she was one of only a handful of black woman crowned Miss USA in the pageant's 57-year history.
Stewart will compete in the Miss Universe pageant in Vietnam in July. She also becomes a spokeswoman for breast and ovarian cancer awareness and other causes, while traveling to promote the organization.
wow. Nice. And she's gorgeous, too.
ReplyDeleteIs she somehow related to FAMU, or is this just a black pride kind of thing?
ReplyDeleteahhhh, that's what it meant by "off topic"
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely GORGEOUS! The girls and women at FAMU could learn alot from this woman of color! Naturally Gorgeous, Classy, Graceful and Strong Christian Faith! Kudos to her parents, good up bringing! See you can be SINGLE, STRONG and obtain goals without the help of a MAN! Hint: MARRIED women of FAMU in delusional marriages or SINGLE women of FAMU in sinful relationships.
ReplyDeleteGood perception 12:35AM!
1:20 PM Jealousy and Envy is not becoming... We all know why you are hating...
8:18... this is 1:20, the only hate you feel is from within. Be free brother.
ReplyDeleteI thought she may have been a former student or something.
Yea, right 1:20! Stating related to FAMU or black pride kind of thing....We all understood what you stated, it was nothing in reference to "I thought she may have been a former student" It was the "something" that was very clear.
ReplyDeleteAgain, stop HATING!
whats wrong with black pride? and why is black pride hateful?
ReplyDeletei honestly think some of you (8:18 & 9:49) need some professional help. you need to see someone that can help you deal with that rage inside of yourself that you are projecting on others.
1:20---Again, the heading says "OFF TOPIC." That means that the piece is not connected to FAMU and/or FAMUans. It's not that anyone's hatin'. It's just that you are NOT UNDERSTANDING. Go back in the archives and see that all of the "OFF TOPIC" items are just that: "off the topic of FAMU." Comprehende? Probably not, because you're off topic.
ReplyDeleteGeez-z-z-z
8:18... so what are you saying about FAMU women? Are they just a bunch of nappy heads in sinful relationships or bad marriages? I am offended by your comments. Why do you hate FAMU women? Can't get a date?
ReplyDeleteOMG! so how does a picture of a gorgeous (and obviously smart) young woman of color who's been crowned Miss USA turned into demon comments about hatin' and nappy headz & such ridiculous stuff. I guess we're all just wanting somehting juicy to fuss and complain about. RN, you gotta step up your game. Folks are gettin' kinda desparate for some dirt and need to vent.
ReplyDeleteSorry to disappoint 3:55PM happily married woman and my husband occasionally informs others in my presence and not that I am an example to other women. So, it is not hating it is results of tired of how majority of FAMU women portray themselves. It is ungodly, despicable and classless. Please believe there is definitely no hate and I have tried to show FAMU girls/women a different way but, they are comfortable in their madness because their is no change.
ReplyDeleteSo, Date? I guess I can say it is a permanent date that is GOOD ;-) Without having sex beforehand... How about you? LOL? Already know.
8:44PM Nappy Head? HUH? Do you hate yourself? Where did anyone mention Nappy Head??? Good dib, sicko!~ To answer your question, how does a pic of gorgeous and smart... MISSED THE POINT -- CLASS!
Again, very proud of Miss USA! Keep the off topics coming... great JOB RN!
10:13---have you read ALL of the posts???? Poster 3:15 says "nappy heads." I didn't make this stuff up. Plus, you have COMPLETELY misunderstood my comment. Dang, you are quite the slow one. ANON 3:55 pm brings up the topic of "nappy heads." Obviously, 10:13, you are unable to read, thus comprehend. Dang. But again, I say, how in the world did such a very nice "off topic" piece become so vitriolic?
ReplyDelete4:18 @ 12:00AM - See this is what happens when you graduate from Community College.
ReplyDeleteStop the madness people....
Gorgeous pic (period)
Admiring Male!
