Courtnee Mason, model, actress and reigning Miss Black Gastonia NC 2009, has accomplished quite a bit in her short yet promising career. Aside from being named this year’s Miss Black Gastonia, Mason, 24, has also graced the covers of two of Charlotte’s highly esteemed entertainment magazines (Charlotte Style Magazine and Elevate Magazine) along with being named one of Charlotte’s Top 25 Most Stylish People. Mason, who aspires to be the “next Tyra Banks” and holds extremely high aspirations for herself, no doubt has that ‘it’ factor and it is a guarantee we will be seeing much more of her in the future.
