Myranda Stephens, a reporter for WBFF-TV (Fox 45), has been named one of EBONY Magazine's 10 Sexiest Singles.

The local reporter is part of the annual feature that appears in the October issue of magazine.

Stephens, 33, said she entered the contest on a "whim" and can't believe she was chosen.

"I remember as a child, flipping through my mother's EBONY magazines, gazing at all of the African-American celebrities. Now, I'm featured in EBONY! What an honor, and what an amazing experience," she said in a statement.

Stephens and the other singles were flown to Miami for a photo shoot on South Beach. In her spare time, Stephens is a freelance writer for Sister 2 Sister magazine, a blogger, hair model and poet.
