Many participants of the crate challenge have suffered injuries and humiliation this week, but one woman is receiving applause after tackling the trend in heels. Surrounded by her neighbors, the woman methodically climbed up and down the nearly dozen stacks of crates. The crowd demanded silence as the poised participant remained focused and completed the challenge effortlessly.
"Oh My God," one person can be heard saying, also noting how the woman completed the challenge so quickly despite her shoes. Others also seemed to be in disbelief as they witnessed the feat.
Rapper and actor LATRUTH posted a video of the woman doing the challenge and said she "nailed the competition in high heels."
"Women do everything better," the artist said. "I think we can go ahead and be done with this challenge because she nailed it. Ladies, y'all do it the best. I can't even argue with you. She was so poised. She had them high heels on and she strutted up there. That's so incredible."
The look of disbelief on the rapper's face proved that he was genuinely impressed by what he had witnessed.
"Why are we still doing this challenge when this queen has already killed it?" he said.
There were many more social media users who were impressed by the queen in heels.

One Twitter user viewed the impressive feat as a symbol of Black women's ability to juggle various challenges in life.
Black women have doing a balancing act in life so this is easy. We’ve fed kids while closing deals, encouraged the men in our lives to be all God said they were,ensure our babies are protected, found housing, made meals out nothing, before we leave for work

The crate challenge, which surfaced on the internet over the weekend, has shown many others who haven't been nearly as successful in landing on their feet. LATRUTH encouraged people to be careful.
"I just pray no one else gets hurt," he said. "Too many people have gotten hurt. She has proven that it can be done. I have seen a couple other people that have successfully did it as well."
According to The Washington Post, some doctors have said the injuries from the challenge are putting more stress on hospitals at a time when they are already overwhelmed because of the coronavirus.
“Everyone needs to do their part in supporting first responders and health-care providers, and that involves not partaking in challenges like this one that are putting additional strain on the system,” Shawn Anthony, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, told The Washington Post.
