This was celebrated by social anthropologist Bárbara Abadía-Rexach, who stated, "Camacho-Quinn’s victory is a pioneering example for black girls on the island that shows them they can achieve whatever they set their minds to, despite the systemic barriers they will encounter due to their gender, race and ethnicity."
