Miss America crowned: 22 year old African American from Virginia
I’m so proud of Caressa Cameron the 2010 Miss America who hails from Virginia. She’s intelligent, poised and beautiful. This African American woman is 22 years old and a broadcast journalism major. I didn’t get to watch the Miss America parent on Saturday as I was out celebrating the art of filmmaking with my filmmaker brethren and sistren in San Diego. But, Caressa’s brother sat in front of me on my plane from Houston to Washington, DC and we talked. He is proud of his sister and his barely audible voice was a sure indicator of how loud he yelled for her when he was in the audience. Congratulations Caressa. May being Miss America live up to all of your expectations.
