What's Your Story? Miss Canada World
Have you ever wanted to approach someone because their face or style has left you wondering what they were all about but you were too afraid to ask?
What's Your Story? features the different characters that roam the streets of Toronto. Every Monday and Thursday, a new person shares their story, likes and dislikes about the city, a little secret and more.
Name: Kenya Black Duprey
Age: 31
What neighbourhood are you from? Atlanta, Georgia
What do you 'do'? Model/female entertainer/makeup artist. Stunning beauty - that's a full time job!
How long have you been in Toronto? 1 week
What's your story?
I work at a show club in Atlanta and a girl that works there told me there was a pageant in Toronto so I came down. I entered and won Miss Canada World, part of Drag Ball Toronto (the other contestant dropped out). Some of the different categories we were tested on were swimwear, evening gown and an interview. I travel all over the world entertaining and I also dance at a topless club.
Favorite thing(s) about Toronto:
I have this thing about interracial dating - I don't approve of it back home - but here, I can appreciate it. I love everything about Toronto. I love the clothes here because I know no one else in Atlanta will have anything I have.
Least favorite thing(s) about Toronto:
The prices of cigarettes. Everything is so expensive and people don't tip at the shows.
You have 24 hours to spend with someone who's never been to Toronto before - what do you do?
Shopping first and then, up Queen Street because there are a lot of good restaurants. We'd also go to the needle (CN Tower).
One thing that your friends/family don't know about you:
I have a lot of insecurities.

She has a website big as Moncton airport. And there's annoying music on it and I couldn't find a way to turn it off.
So, I turned off the website.
She won a beauty contest? Isn't that precious!
She looks like a clapped-out south side tramp and those
tattoos don't do anything.
She comes from Georgia to enter a local contest?
Shouldn't there be a residency requirement somewhere?
Its kind of weird how someone can come from Atlanta and win a Canadian Pagent.

p.s. Is it just me or does the Toronto interracial dating scene seem to be a scarcity when it comes to seeing black women in interracial relationships? Personally I'm open to it... maybe when people see someone like me they assume I might be loud, have an attitude and enjoy being called everything you might find in an (insert chart topping rapper here) song...
...just a personal rant.
@ David: the player is on the first page bottom left corner. Failing that, there's always the speaker volume nob, which I always keep at hand. It is a glitzy website, but what can one expect, her career is entertainment. Personally I dislike tattoos, but nice stereotyping of South side tramps.
@ Sandra: I hear you about the isolation - I just heard that from friends that were visiting from the UK. I did my best to show them the good side, but it can happen that people are aloof/afraid and take the Sun seriously. Quadruple that for young black men. My experience about the interracial dating scene is just the opposite. And in such a diverse city as this, the opportunities abound to meet people from other cultures. So get out there and party!

I'm not going to have to hunt around for a knob and turn down the volume because I'm already listening to my music and I don't want anyone else's particularly at a high level.
Her music was so loud I had to turn down the stereo.
Moreover she's a carpetbagger. How's that for a transplanted term? Just like she's a transplant, so too the term.
^^ ... on the contrary, I think many women don't mind, perhaps to get away from their rapper x-boyfriends. There are tons of dark beauties in TO, I have dated some, and will again in a heartbeat.
I figured me not wanting to extend my body to the flock of "white Canadian men" is a problem because?...MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY..White people MEN PERHAPS ARE SO IGNORANT WHEN IT COME TO SOME ONE NOT WANTING THEN...Get over yourselfs..Not everyone wants a "Pink Dick!! Must they have everything...I love my "rapper boyfriends" they exude a kind of sexiness respect and personality white men will never have..Besides if you can't find love in someone who looks like you ITS CALLED SELF HATE!!..personally i find all of your comments humorous...So what you don't like my tattoos..LIFE WILL GO ON!! AND SO WILL I!!...Thanks for taking the time out and writing all your bull shit about how you don't like me ( a black transsexual)being Ms Canada World or My music on my page...F.Y.I TURN YOUR SOUND DOWN DUMB ASS!!...I still won and the other "Canadian girl" DROPPED OUT! Don't blame me blame her!!
Good day...
