Kara McCullough wins Miss USA 2017 “DC goes Back 2 Back and so does the Black Queens” 

A new Miss USA has been crowned and yes we have another melanated Queen in the reigns. I never would have thought pulling off back 2 back Black Queens would be possible, but you know what, never say never. 

The District of Columbia goes BACK 2 BACK and they go BLACK 2 BLACK. Y’all already know the “make America great again” clan are pretty salty right now, but who cares. 

On May 14, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada, DC’s Kara McCollough was crowned our new Miss USA 2017.


Kára McCullough was born in Naples, Italy, but raised in Virginia Beach, Virginia. As the daughter of a now retired United States Navy Chief Petty Officer, she has traveled and lived in many beautiful places including Sicily, Japan, South Korea and Hawaii. After being immersed in multiple different cultures, McCullough has a penchant for cooking specialty Italian and soul food cuisines. McCullough earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry with a concentration in Radiochemistry from South Carolina State University. Her major provided her the opportunity to intern at many universities, which paved the way to her current career at the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission. McCullough also has a personal community outreach program entitled, Science Exploration for Kids (SE4K). SE4K features interactive science activities, and math and science tutoring for children scholars grades 6-11. McCullough is honored to represent the Nation’s Capital at the 2017 MISS USA® competition and is excited to meet all of the intelligent women from throughout the country.

A few quick facts about our new Miss USA, she’s a proud HBCU graduate ( South Carolina state), a scientist, 5’10, and a youth girls basketball coach. 

Congratulations Kara on your win and upcoming reign. I wish you nothing but the best. Enjoy this time and good luck at Miss Universe.
