Foreman, 23, made the top 15 at Thursday night's competition
“It’s empowering yes, yet the fact that it is uncommon to see black women be the representative for such a prestigious title proves that there is still work to be done,” she said. “I’m happy that we are widening our range of beauty and most importantly prove that excellence comes in all colors.”“Young girls who look like me need to see various women of color in these positions so that they are determined to achieve the things they put their mind to,” Foreman added.
While Foreman didn’t move past the top 15 at Thursday night’s Miss America competition, her Miss Texas crowning is part of a historic year in pageant history.
