Somber Sassy Sunday – Rest in Peace Cheslie Kryst

01/31/22 / Tiara Deahn /  / sassy sunday

I learned the somber news that Cheslie Kryst, Miss USA 2019, committed suicide this morning. Cheslie, I do not know personally, but have admired dearly. I have followed her career on social media in awe, of her intellect, beauty, and accomplishments.

Cheslie, embodied #blackgirlmagic and I’m very sad, she is no longer here on earth. I was thrilled to see she just started her YouTube. I couldn’t wait to hear her beauty and fashion tips.

Strong black woman, is a narrative that is often associated to describe a woman of color. Though I do find the description as a positive, I can see that it can overshadow the other emotions that all humans possess. As though, a black woman can suppress  and overcome other emotions because we are so resilient and so strong.

We are strong. We are resilient. We too have a soft and tender side. We too have fears, moments of sadness, and depression.

I’m 35 and seeing a role model that looks like me take their own life is truly devastating. Her beautiful photo is on my 2022 vision board. I admired so much of her success.

A reminder to check in on all of your loved ones.

The material things are just that, material. Our relationships with people and our respect for humanity, that’s what matters. Everything else is just small stuff.

I do not know Cheslie’s personal struggles, I just know I will miss her.

If no one has told you today, you are loved. I love you.

Please seek help, if you have thoughts of suicide.

Love always,
