Miss District of Columbia Deshauna Barber was the lady of the night as she impressed the judges with her beauty, talents and intelligence at Sunday night's annual beauty pageant broadcast live from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
"To me confidently beautiful means understanding that it's not always about your appearance. It's not always about who you're around and how they feel you look, where they feel you come from or your economic background," Deshauna explained.
She explained how serving in the military has build her confidence, and the plight if women. How they beauty is seen as a weakness.
"Serving in the military has taught me that being confidently beautiful is about being able to earn respect from people regardless of what you look like. As a woman in the military, people associate beauty with weakness and they learn very quickly that I'm extremely strong. And although I'm small, I'm powerful and confidently beautiful is being myself and being very happy with who I've become. Thank you."
She further explained that, "As a woman in the United States Army, I think it was an amazing job by our government to allow women to integrate into every branch of the military."
She advocated for women. Speaking out how women should not be looked down apon as weak. That they are capable as the opposite sex.
She added, "We are just as tough as men. As a commander of my unit, I'm powerful, I am dedicated. And it is important that we recognize that gender does not limit us in the United States Army."
