For the first time ever, a military woman has won the prestigious crown and title of Ms USA.
According to the Miss USA website, Barber is the daughter of a retired Army Master Sergeant, so it’s no surprise she decided to join the U.S. Army. From North Carolina to Nebraska, Minnesota to Virginia, she has lived all over the U.S. due to her father’s military career.
Also a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc., Barber relocated to Washington, D.C. after graduating from Virginia State University, an HBCU. The pageant website states that she now serves as an IT Analyst for the U.S. Department of Commerce.
After a year of serving as Miss USA, Barber will go on to compete in the Miss Universe pageant, the Associated Press reports.
