    Meet Sanneta Myrie.

    She's a doctor who also loves reggae, cross country running, and volunteering.

    Oh yeah, and she also happens to be Miss Jamaica and a history-making Miss World contestant!

    At the Miss World Pageant on Saturday, Myrie became the first ever contestant to rock her hair in locs during the competition's history.

    The Caribbean beauty wore her gorgeous locs in a regal, high bun, while her opponents went the long and silky route.

    She also came in fourth place and was the only black woman to land in the top five.

    Sanneta Myrie, you are smart, stunning, and bold, and we want to be your BEST FRIEND FOREVER😍!
