Retired Army master sergeant-turned beauty queen Deshauna Barber clinched the title of Miss USA 2016 on Sunday night, all the while, she left women of all ages with a lesson in beauty and strength.
When asked what it means to be “confidently beautiful,” Barber reflected on her experience of being a woman in the military.
“People associate beauty with weakness. And they learn very quickly that I’m extremely strong.”
Beauty, brawn and boldness for the win.
