A stranger's rude question changed her life 😯

Deshauna Barber took to the stage as Miss USA in 2016, but her journey towards this goal is unbelievable and beyond inspiring! #modelling #pageant #models #fashionmodel #inspiringstory

She's beautiful and the lady saw it before she saw it in herself.

[AscensionDust]

She was there in spirit. She is so proud of you.

[banks]

Yes! I love stories of women building each other up instead of tearing each other down!

[angelaedwards]

I love that a complete stranger can tell a young woman she’s beautiful. That’s what that lady did AND believed it!!

[andrec]

She wanted to know if you were eligible to compete.

[ODINS_daughter]

She saw the potential in you before you did. It was not offensive, beautiful gal! Miss USA has rules and she was making sure you qualified before she started sharing her dream to you.
I remember when she won Miss USA. We were all cheering for her.

[MyShotsTickle-imss]

I am happy that she guided her in a positive way!!! May she rest in peace!!

[MrChief]

Not all questions are hate motivated ❤❤❤

[tblk]

Glad the woman had the NERVE! Bless her family❤️❤️❤️

[SweeetClarissa]

Deshauna, you did an incredible job representing your beloved country USA ❤ at the Miss Universe that year, not bc USA believed in you, but you Deshauna believed in yourself! Thank u for making us proud!!

Wish we knew more about the wonderful woman who scouted and inspired her to compete.

[antonmarino]

I recall her winning
Absolutely delightful

[respecthewoman]

What a triumph story. Not everyone who question us is trying to be rude. In most cases they're fascinated or sometimes even jealous

[rachelletheoc]

She saw greatness in you that we sometimes we dont see in ourselves

[bubbles]

I remember her winning that!! She's so beautiful. I love this story but it's sad that lady couldn't be there physically. She is with her in Spirit. 😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[joyvzpain]

That lady spoke a new destiny over and into her life! If we are not so easily offended, we can use any intention to motivate us.

[HarryTt-gtod]

She saw greatness in you, and the only obstacle would have been if you were a foreigner and couldn’t compete for the American crown. It is okay to answer those questions because they are just part of a dialogue .

[icecol]

Very touching story!!! You're beautiful!! She was right!! You did it!!! She propelled you to success!!💛💛💛

[lynnpasqualle]

She saw you, she saw that you were smart and beautiful. I'm glad you listened to her. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[superara]

She asked for a valid reason. So many idiots jumping to conclusions. They clearly loved each other.
