January 27 1994

"Okay, are you ready?" The announcer yelled over the speakers getting an automatic yes from the audience and a head nod from both Diamontè (Icy) and her competitor as they held hands taking in a deep breath.

"Okay this is it. Our new Miss California 1994 is Miss.... Santa Clara-"

Before the announcer could even finish his sentence the crowd bursted out in cheers and Diamontè's entire mouth dropped as she looked at the crowd in shock. Miss California of 1993, walked over to her placing the crown over her head and giving her the Miss California badge.

The announcer handed her the microphone and she took another deep breath in disbelief before grabbing it. "Thank you so so much everyone I am in total shock right now but um, one thing I can say is today I have realized my true intention. I wasn't here to just win the crown I was here to make a difference in our community and not only for the girls that look like me but for every single individual that ever felt like a minority, here is evidence that you can do anything you want to do in the world and be anything even and if there's someone out there telling you can't IM telling you can and I will continue to make a difference in any way possible. Thank you" The crowd heavily applauded her as she walked away from the mic with a wave and a smile.

When she finally made her way back to the dressing room her Auntie and her best friends were there waiting for her and as soon as she entered screams could be heard all down the hall as they hugged and congratulated her.

"Bitch we got to celebrate this is all you ever wanted to be. Black women up right now !" Stacy her best friend loudly stated.

It was extremely rare for anyone of African American descent, especially in California to win the pageant. Everyone was surprised that she made it this far.

"I know that's right!" Diamontè yelled responding to her best friend

"And never wrong." Her Auntie yelled right behind her.

"What the fuck we waiting for bitch let's go!"

The whole night Diamontè received congratulations from different people who spotted her out in public. She had no idea that she would receive this much love from everyone being that she had never had that much attention put on her in her life.
