Miss USA 2019 crowns full-time Attorney Cheslie Kryst as winner... A 27-year-old full-time #Lawyer from North Carolina was crowned Miss USA 2019 on Thursday night. Cheslie Kryst of Charlotte, who represents prison inmates for free, described herself as a "weird kid" with a "unibrow" who's now part of the first generation of truly empowered women. Asked in the final round to use one word to summarize her generation, Kryst said "innovative." "I'm standing here in Nevada, in the state that has the first female majority legislature in the entire country," she said at the event held for the first time in Reno. "Mine is the first generation to have that forward-looking mindset that has inclusivity, diversity, strength and empowered women. I'm looking forward to continued progress in my generation." New Mexico's Alejandra Gonzalez, the first runner-up, and Oklahoma's Triana Browne, the second runner-up, helped highlight the diversity of the competition on stage as the three finalists along with Kryst, who is African-American. Browne, whose #Father Is #CaucasianAmerican and #Mother Is #AfricanAmerican said she's a proud member of the #ChickasawNation She's in a partnership with #Nike to promote a brand that celebrates #NativeAmericanHeritage Gonzalez, whose mother immigrated to the United States from Mexico, founded a nonprofit that teaches children the importance of being literate. Kryst earned a law degree and an MBA at Wake Forest University before becoming a civil litigation attorney who does #ProBonoWork to reduce sentences for #Inmates In a videotaped message played during the two-hour event at a hotel-casino, she told a story of when a judge at a legal competition told her to wear a skirt instead of pants because judges prefer skirts. "Glass ceilings can be broken wearing either a skirt or pants," Kryst said. 🤗💯 Reposted from @divaladyc21 - #CheslieKryst #MissUSA2019👑 #CrownedMissUSA 👑 #MissUSA2019 #BlackMissUSA #WomanOfColor 💪 By Sasha Savitsky | Fox News #IAm_MsJohnson 💞 - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BxFaX7SBFqV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18wobr94zsb2
