How Kamie Crawford Stays Positive

Television and podcast host Kamie Crawford has been in the spotlight her entire adult life. And though it has meant praise and success, fame hasn’t been easy. In her conversation with Ashley, the former Miss Teen USA relishes being a role model for her younger sisters and other Black girls, an honor she feels destined for. Kamie talks about the difficulties of being perceived as not being ‘Black enough’ or thin enough to be considered a Black Teen Miss USA. Now, Kamie lives confidently in her own skin and inspires others to be their authentic selves.
