We simply cannot celebrate Women's Month without uplifting my favorite Miss America: Caressa Cameron (now Jackson): Miss America 2010. Hailing from Virginia, Caressa is the first Black Miss Virginia (2009) who went on to become the 8th Black Miss America. And as expected, she is warm, gracious, eloquent, intelligent, out of this world yet somehow still giving off Girl Next Door vibes. She is goals inside and out and her presence is simply mesmerizing. She is now the Founder and CEO of Caressed by Design, a wedding planning service.
