I don't think people understand the pressure African-American women face to make their hair appear a certain way. All those damaging chemicals and efforts to assimilate into whiteness. Not even Michelle Obama wore her afro until her position as first lady ended.
Deshauna is one of my most respected Miss USA winners and I hope she found closure in her final walk.
