Miss Universe Great Britain crowned its first black winner since the pageant began back in 1952. She will now represent the UK at the International Miss Universe competition that will be held in the Philippines this December.

The 25-year-old hails from Anguilla and has competed against 40 women from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and British overseas territories to win this prestigious title.

In addition to studying to be a barrister, she also finished her final bar exam at the University of Birmingham. Besides this, she has previously competed at the Commonwealth Games on two occasions. However, she had to cease her athletic training due to a knee injury.

This win certainly is an opportunity to encourage diversity and for more women to come forward and break the typical beauty standards everywhere.

Keep slayin’ girl!
