"The judges nod and smile at her, but they don’t expect her to win for two reasons; one, because she is black, and two, because she comes from an infamously impoverished school."
Can you guys check if this sentence is written correctly too?
THANKS SO MUCH! :)

Incorrect. The correct punctuation is a colon, not a semi-colon.

Yes - use a colon to connect the thought. Semicolons are used when it's a separate idea.

I would use a colon, not a semicolon here.
Because you are giving a list, not combining two sentences.
