"In this episode, we take an unforgettable journey with Jessi Kalambayi—a young woman born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, raised in South Africa, and now thriving in the United States. At the time of recording, Jessi was Miss Denver USA 2024, sharing her incredible story of growing up across cultures and how those experiences shaped her into the confident, determined woman she is today.

Since then, Jessi has achieved even more remarkable success by being crowned Miss Colorado USA 2024, going on to represent Colorado at Miss USA 2024, and making history by finishing in the top 10—the state’s first top 10 placement since 2012! 🎉

Join us as we celebrate her inspiring story of resilience, ambition, and embracing cultural identity. This episode is a testament to the power of perseverance, diversity, and the beauty of blending cultures.
