Biography

Education

Hinton graduated from Starkville High School in 1997. She later studied broadcast communications at Howard University.

Pageants

Hinton won the Miss District of Columbia USA 2002 title in November 2001, the first time she had competed in the competition. Hinton hails from Starkville, Mississippi and she qualified to compete there because she was attending Howard University.

Hinton went on to represent the District of Columbia at the Miss USA 2002 pageant held in Gary, Indiana on 28 February 2002 where she became the fourth African American to win the Miss USA title.[1] The pageant marked the first time that 4 out of the 5 five finalists were African American.

Hinton later competed in the Miss Universe 2002 pageant in Puerto Rico in May that year. As of 2010, she is one of only four Miss USA winners not to have placed among the semifinalists at Miss Universe. The other three are Miss USA 1976 Barbara Peterson, Miss USA 1999 Kimberly Pressler, and Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih.

Hinton speaks out on the Miss USA 2010 official photo controversy on Showbiz Tonight May 5, HLN Prime News May 10, 2010, and on several other news channels. She believes the photos are not racy but "Women comfortable in their own skin." [2]

Casting

She plays a live action character, reporter Brittany Bhima, in the video game Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, released in 2007.

In 2009, Hinton played Jessica Warner in 2 episodes of iCarly.
