Jamaica’s Miss World Win Means Black Women Now Hold Five of The World’s Biggest Beauty Pageant Titles

Author Randi Myles

Black women currently hold five of the biggest beauty pageant titles in the United States, and the world. When Miss Jamaica, Toni-Ann Singh, was crowned Miss World in London on Saturday, she joined an impressive roster of black women who hold some of the world’s most prestigious pageant titles:  Zozibini Tunzi as Miss Universe, Cheslie Kryst as Miss USA, Kaliegh Garris as Miss Teen USA, and Nia Franklin as Miss America.

This is significant because the beauty pageant industry has had a troubled past with race, beginning with women of color being banned from in some of the biggest pageants for decades.

Additionally a mere three years ago, the Miss Teen USA winner came under fire after racist tweets written by her were reveal.

Randi’s mom knew she was destined to be in some form of entertainment when even as a small child, she would pretend a pencil was a microphone and sing and charm family and friends. Later she would sing in church and college choirs. However, it wasn’t until she attended Specs Howard School of Media Arts, that Ms. Myles would find her true voice. Randi enjoys writing about the city of Detroit, faith, and the community.
