25-year-old Miss Universe Great Britain, Dee-Ann Kentish Rogers is the first black woman crowned with that title.
“To my knowledge, I am the first dreadlocked woman to walk across a Miss Universe Great Britain stage and that is absolutely most exciting to me,” she said.
She is a graduate of law from Birmingham University and is set to be a barrister this month. She is also a competitive athlete, and even won a silver medal in heptathlon in the Central American and Caribbean Games and a bronze medal in the CARIFTA Games.
Best of luck to you, Ms. Great Britain!
