I remember this and I was so happy for her but sad that her mentor wasn’t physically able to be there with her at the finale. Goddess bless Ms. Barber.
Thankyou for sharing your story x
Sorry, I’ve just started but she’s beautiful ?
??????????????
Very inspiring! Congratulations to you. Love your stories and thank God you never give up despite of those bullies. What a beautiful woman inside and out
Bro this story made me sob like a mfkr ???? So inspiring!!
My beautiful Mam ??
Wow wow wow she is gorgeous beautiful ????♥️❤️?
Hopefully she has since connected with some of Leslie's family and friends after crowning Miss USA.
Did I miss it or did the actual clip play of her being asked the rude question? ? it's in inspiring story but, I want to know what was said also.
I'm crying ??? This story touched my heart.
WWWWOOOWWW that history is soo inspirational is like a Movie but is real and motivating thank you for for sharing
Is there a Miss white American pageant , I am not from the US why I ask is because I see there is a Miss Black American pageant.?
I'm Asian and I get asked that all the time.
But why is asking if you were born in the US offensive? There are so so many immigrants in this country that there is a reasonable chance that someone wasn't actually born here. And what is so offensive about insinuating that you were born elsewhere? Is being born in America some sort of prize over everything else? So you're black and someone assumes you're from Nigeria or Ghana. Oh the insult. The travesty ?. Even if you're American and someone thinks you are from somewhere else…what is so wrong with that? Is being identified as American that great? You can simply tell the person that you are American or whatever. Easy. No need to be offended. Maybe it's because I'm an immigrant myself and think more highly of myself than some Americans might. But I am telling you that not being American is perfectly fine.
Leslie seemed like the person who you could go to anything for, and I bet she had the biggest heart ❤️ rip ??
Nice bless both of you amen,nice ❤️
Rest her in peace ,she is a great woman ,sad.
So let that be a lesson, let’s not immediately get our panties in a twist over every little thing right off the bat, eh?
Wow! What a shocker! The PC crowd crowns another minority. Lol
What I love about this story is that I learned that maybe our failures, our trials, our suffering, may be preparing us for something great, even though we do don't see it at the moment. That maybe if she won the first time or the fifth time, she wouldn't have been Miss USA and the person that she is today. And that the challenges we face are shaping us to who we can be, but we only need the courage, the determination, and the belief that we can be far greater than who we are now.
When they showed the pictures of her as a child, I thought Michael Jordan was her father.
You telling your story is the right way to pay your repect. Thank you for sharing .
Every time I fail in my exam I come here and see this VDO…n get back to my preparation…this VDO is my motivation..one day I will succeed and want to feel how it feels to get that success
This is so powerful. She is meant to tell this story. She became Ms. USA but more than that is that there is a person who believed in her. This will help a lot of people losing hope. If not you, then who?
"Do not fear failure, but please be terrified of regret. As giving up is the birth of regret." Thank you miss universe.
Wow …
Very emotional. Leslie was her angel. CONGRATULATIONS, Miss Former USA 2016 and then Miss USA, from N.C. in 2019 May she and Leslie rest in peace.
This story is unbelievable. I would have given up after the 1st loss.
Oh, poor you
God Bless You All
Thank You

I believe in all of you on this page,you will when you believe in Yourself!
When i watch this i don't know what to say
Leslie was something else I'm telling you it's because of her she kept trying year after year even though she was failing
What a beautiful story!
That is not the most offensive question you can ask a black woman there is worst than that black people can be born in other countries other than America. How is that even offensive
SHE IS MISS USA !!!
