Caressa Cameron who is Miss Virginia won the 2010 Miss America crown. She is a 22 year old woman, and the daughter of a contractor and background researcher for the government.
She has spoken about being motivated to enter and compete in pageants at the age of 14, when Miss Virginia 2003 Nancy Redd visited her school. This is another example of how seeing someone like yourself in a position that is positive can have a lasting impact on a child, teenager, or young adult. Nancy Redd, the 2003 Miss Virginia is also a woman of color.
Caressa Cameron, is a broadcast journalism student at Virginia Commonwealth University. She plans to take off the year from school to handle all the fundraising and charity work that comes with the territory of being Miss America.
We should all celebrate her and her accomplishments to date. If you have a young daughter, make sure that they know about this beautiful, young, and smart woman that looks just like her.
Note: Miss America & Miss USA are two different pageants that people normally confuse. The winner of the Miss USA pageant represents the United States in the Miss Universe 2010 competition. However, Caressa Cameron will be very happy with the $50,000 dollars in scholarship money which she won in the Miss America 2010 pageant.
