    Cheslie Kryst was a complex civil litigation attorney licensed to practice law in North and South Carolina. Passionate about criminal justice reform, she worked pro bono for clients serving excessive time for low-level drug offenses. Cheslie was the oldest crowned Miss USA (28 yrs) in May 2019 and represented the United States at the 2019 Miss Universe Competition, placing in the top ten of ninety countries. Her win in 2019 was the first year that all four major us pageants had women of African ancestry. The others included Zozibini Tunzi, Nia Franklin, Kaleigh Harris.
    In October 2019, Cheslie was named a correspondent for the nationally broadcast entertainment news show, Extra, where she regularly interviewed the world’s biggest names, from Tom Hanks to Oprah Winfrey.
    .
    Prior to winning Miss USA, Cheslie worked closely with Dress for Success Charlotte, an organization that empowers women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire, and development tools for women. As a Dress for Success Impact Ambassador, Cheslie supported chapters across the country, traveling to local communities to give back. She also served on the National Board of Directors for Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.
    .
    Cheslie earned both her law degree and MBA from Wake Forest University and graduated cum laude with a bachelor’s degree from the Honors College at the University of South Carolina.

    I also find it disgusting when any public figure speaks out on their mental health and hardships and I see comments saying “why are you sad when you have all of these things and some people have nothing” or “you have nothing to be sad about you’re rich and famous.” These public figures are human just like you and have feelings. Why are we belittling someone’s emotions just because they seem to “have it all?”

It’s hard for people to realize that not everyone is in a place where they can ask for help. _”I just need you to care about one other person. Care about your neighbour.”_ Yes yes yeeeessss.

    This is going to sound weird, but what she wrote about turning 30 was disturbing. Her birthday is in April. She was to turn 31 this year. I wonder if she absolutely did not want to turn 31 because it would’ve reminded her in her mind that her relevance was waning. That was so far from true. She had more to accomplish and I heard her calendar in the coming months was full. But the depths of despair can be so deep. People need to stop with the “you’re so strong” because the weight of being strong will break you. Sometimes you have to just break and cry and be vulnerable because if you don’t you break in other ways. I really hate this happened to Cheslie.

    • @PungiFungi
      @PungiFungi 2 роки тому +5

      A lot of what she wrote is disturbing. It appears she paid so much attention to what negative people are saying about her instead of focusing on things that really matter. That thing about being 30 just takes the cake, like her life is going to be downhill at 31 and that and it is as good as it is going to get after being Miss USA. I wouldn’t be surprised the legal work she did also contributed…meeting people in prison and other situations and there’s only so much she can do.

    • @CatEyeGem
      @CatEyeGem 2 роки тому

      It is wonderful to see someone with some depth. What I will add, is that she had other struggles as well. There is an irony that she was no longer a lawyer and her focus was media based on some of her Tiktoks. That is telling

    • @aoht06
      @aoht06 2 роки тому +4

      Yup that essay was the writing on the wall that we all missed. So many are reacting to her death expressing shock and asking why she would do this saying ”she seemed to have it all.” Well reading her own words in that essay it’s pretty clear she didn’t feel like she had it all. I think many who knew her personally read that essay and then probably didn’t think much of it since it was so opposite of how she seemed to carry herself. Her colleagues claimed there were no warning signs but she left multiple hints in that essay that something was wrong.

    • @tonyalbertson9983

      I agree. When I read what she wrote about turning 30, I knew something terrible was going on inside her head. We need to learn from this and if we hear our loved ones sounding like that we need to not hesitate in at least letting them know that they are not alone and that God can lift them out of their dark feelings

She was Miss USA, a Miss Universe host, a fitness buff, an intelligent lawyer and a great correspondent. But on the inside, she was broken and fighting her inner struggles. Mental Health is something we should prioritize. Depression is never a joke and should be taken very seriously. I wanna give you a virtual hug, Dani. She was your friend and we are all sad for her death. Rest in Peace, Deat Cheslie.

      Yea but Cheslie's problem wasn't the world - it was NYC specifically... she moved from a wonderful and friendly state of North Carolina, to one of the toughest city's in the nation to live in - and expect good to come from it. She had a rising star all the years prior and in every category, and NYC wiped her out - just as it does many people's lives... she should've moved home (for a period) to where people would appreciate her again.

  • @TressBraga
    @TressBraga 2 роки тому +24

    May her spirit rest in peace! My impression of Cheslie was that she was such a go-getter and high-achiever - perhaps she was trained to be this way by her upbringing - that it became her modus operandi in life to perform, perform, perform . . . and to please everyone, even her critics. Unfortunately, despite her achievements, maybe she still felt inadequate. Also, I can't help but see the dark side of pageantry. Think about it -- you're there to compete with other women to be, say, "the most beautiful woman in the universe." How is that healthy? Conventional beauty isn't an achievement; rather, it's like winning the Power Ball in the genetic lottery. They say pageantry is about sisterhood when in fact it's more like a cut-throat competition, not to mention the dirty politics involved in selecting who makes it to the cut. It's such an uneven playing field; women from less-fortunate backgrounds simply do not receive the same level of quality training, wardrobe, make up, etc. to be able to have a fighting chance. In a way, these poor women are pitted against each other not unlike a cock-fighting match.

      What in the world does fighting chickens to the death, have to do with women competing for awards, resouces and opportunities? NYC is one of the toughest cities in the nation to survive in - with milion dollar apartments and rude people... Cheslie's life was overwhelmingly successful until she moved to NYC - that's the real problem.

      I was so saddened to her about Cheslie devastating end, I beleive that she had everything that the world had to offer her as it says in the scripture in:
      1 John 2:16
      King James Version
      16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
      She was such a Beautiful, intelligent & talented young lady, I wished that she had more Trust, Faith & Believed that Jesus Christ was there all the the time just waiting for her to wholeheartedly accept him as Lord & Savior & Master in her life. Jesus was there the entire time, this is a example of what the world have to offer our young people; absolutely nothing.
      I must say at the end of the day, her beauty, her wealth & her intelligence didnt save her.
      Please people, the only thing that matters in this life is your relationship with Jesus Christ and repenting of your sins and asking JESUS CHRIST to come and live in your heart & for the Lord to be Master in our life.
      Young people the world has absolutely nothing to offer you, please get to know Jesus before its to late.
      Jesus Loves you with an Everlasting Love !
      I will leave the prayer of Salvation below, if you don't know Jesus Christ and Lord & Master in your life, please say & confess the following prayer with your whole heart, if you would like to receive Jesus Christ today, please repeat out loud with your whole heart:
      " Dear Lord Jesus, I repent of all my sins that I have committed against you, Jesus come into my heart, forgive me of my sins, wash & cleanse me Jesus set me Free. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord & Master in my life. I beleive that Jesus died on the Cross and Rose again. Thank you JESUS for saving me, now Lord fill me with your Holy Spirit and help me to live a Holy life until your return. Lord give me a passion for lost souls & a hunger for the things of God ! Use me Lord for your Kingdom. Thank you JESUS for your Mercy and Grace towards me. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah !
      PS. If you wholeheartedly repented of your sins, you are now saved by God's mercy & grace. All your sins are white as snow to be remembered. no more.
      Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” Isaiah 1:18.
      Welcome into the Kingdom of God ! Again, JESUS LOVES YOU ! 😇

    Thank you for being so caring about people. The thoughts you shared have given me some comfort about Cheslie.. I’m sorry I don’t know you and did not know a lot about Cheslie or the pageant life but I think you and she and all contestants are wonderful! It is just so disheartening to know that there are people out there who are so rude or jealous or evil. You ladies do not deserve that badgering. May God bless you! I wish nothing but the best for you cause you have a beautiful soul! Take Care and thank you.

    Amen to absolutely everything you've said. I hate that it had to happen this way, but I hope this tragedy brings about a new sense of kindness and respect in the industry. Some people feel they can get away with being cruel under the guise of "just being honest" and "these girls are signing themselves up for this." What miserable people, to spend their lives hating on people trying to live their dreams. May Cheslie's legacy lead to a healthier industry and kinder people. Her death is so shocking and heartbreaking, I truly don't have words. She is so dearly, dearly loved and missed.

As a fairly new youtuber, I aspire to help people as much as I can though my readings and if it helps just 1 person then I know I've made a difference. Thank you

    Love this video!! I especially love what you said about people hating on influencers/ celebrities on the internet and saying “well you ask for it” or “you should expect hate since you are now in the public eyes.” How is telling someone that they deserve the hate or should expect the hate they get because they’re suddenly a public figure better than addressing the trolls on the internet who have nothing better to do than tear someone down? We shouldn’t tell those who are in the public eyes to just expect that there are hateful people on the internet. This mindset promotes these internet trolls to continue to spread hate. We should be keeping them accountable instead of telling these public figures that they “ask for it”

    Her death is awakening to the world (not just America). She fulfils her duty as a mental advocate by giving us a heads-up to see in a wider picture that mental health is very important as physical health. When this pandemic hit me, I've learned to reach out and build a support system to everyone within my scope to talk to them (coz I know they are struggling as I am). Little kindness of words and act really mean a lot to someone who has going through in life... "There are resources, there are solution to every problem" I liked it Ms. beautiful Dani❤️☝️👍🙏

    This video just goes to show how much you care about fellow women in pageantry, Dani (even if you aren't super close with them). You truly are a heartfelt, Queen 👑
    Rest in peace, Cheslie..Fly high 🕊️✨

    I have to now.
    I know you could NOT have done a better job.
    YOU embraced & guided your viewers through a delicate topic that took Cheslie from us…
    I do think your input here, will help all who watch it & possibly lead someone in a dark space, back into the light.
