The Charlotte, NC native is also a former record-setting Division I athlete whose passions include blogging about workplace style at White Collar Glam and volunteering at Dress For Success to supply low-income women with professional attire. Fun fact: Her mom also won Mrs. North Carolina USA in 2002, which inspired Cheslie to eventually do the same!

Fellow North Carolina native Nia Imani, 25, earned her Masters in Fine Arts before receiving a prestigious fellowship and moving to New York City to pursue her dreams. The classically trained opera singer has been writing songs since the age of five and is a major advocate of arts in education.

During Nia's freshman year of undergrad, her father was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. After suffering two relapses years later, he received a stem cell donation from Nia and has since been in remission. This turn of events led her to Miss America, the organization revealed. "I had to find a way to pay for myself to go to school and so I entered this competition," she said. "It became much more than just the scholarship money for me, it was also about the mentorship, leadership and sisterhood you find in this program."

High School student Kaliegh Garris, 18, made headlines for being one of the only Miss Teen USA winners to step on the stage without a straightened hairstyle. When she's not advocating for disabled people with her movement "We Are People 1st," she's performing as a competitive dancer.

"The night before, I finger curled every single piece of my hair in the shower, which led to a very long shower, but it was for the greater good," Kaliegh told Refinery29. “I know what I look like with straight hair, with extensions, and with my curly hair, and I feel more confident and comfortable with my natural hair."

Now, I'll be the first to admit that it's a shame this "first" is happening so late in the human civilization game.

But at the same time, I NEVER miss an opportunity to celebrate those of us who're breaking barriers and showing younger generations that they can be whatever they damn well please, regardless of race, beauty pageant queen included.

In other words, to quote the brilliant Issa Rae, "I'm rooting for everybody black!"
