People are crying out for this : Former Miss USA building diversity at Charlotte law firm
Kryst has dedicated her career to fixing racial inequities in the justice system. Now, she s stepping out of that platform to help minorities in the workplace. Author: Ruby Durham Updated: 7:26 PM EST February 19, 2021
The cause is near and dear to Kryst. The Charlotte native is now the first diversity advisor at a local law firm where she once worked. She was appointed to the position to help foster a more inclusive workplace following protests over racial injustice around the country.
Before taking the Miss USA crown in 2019, Kryst was an attorney at Charlotte-based law firm Poyner Spruill – where she worked pro bono for prisoners who were unjustly sentenced. Eliminating inequities in the justice system will remain a top priority for Kryst, but now she s going beyond that platform.
