“When we think about the figures and faces of our community, I think it’s important that Black women and Black girls can have someone that they look up to,” she said. “I’m honored to represent myself and my Black history .”
For her final appearance , she wore gold mesh hoop earrings designed by Aminna Taylor, a local jeweler who launched her business just two years ago.
By showcasing Taylor’s work , Kerry not only highlighted her personal style but also supported a small Black-owned business, offering a significant boost to Taylor’s entrepreneurial endeavors.
“Being able to support the community is awesome, but also being able to support a Black woman who is hustling and grinding and who has truly created an incredible product is amazing too,” Kerry remarked. “I think we all have the power to elevate the things we care about and to bring other people with us.”
