Shaila’s ‘Run That Back’ feature highlights past interviews, and pivotal moments in history, blending entertainment, information and nostalgia all in one.

On Today’s Run That Back we celebrate Vanessa Williams on her birthday, we also honor her during Women’s History Month for breaking barriers as the first Black Miss America—while also facing the painful distinction of being the first to resign.

In today’s Run That Back, we hear her reflect on the embarrassment and challenges she endured during such an uncertain time. Let her story be a reminder: no matter what chaos you’re facing, no matter how heavy the burden feels, pressure ain’t here to break you—it’s here to make you shine. Diamonds are born from struggle, and so are we.
