Today we are going to be talking more about Kaliegh Garris, the current Miss Teen USA 2019. In April 2019, Kaliegh Garris brought the state of Connecticut its second Miss Teen USA title after Logan West’s win in 2012. The pageant was held in Reno, Nevada.18 year-old Kaliegh is now a national titleholder, competitive dancer, model and student. All of which are even more impressive considering she is still in high school.Kaliegh has set the bar high for other teen contestants competing in pageants across America. Kaliegh volunteers at children’s hospitals, travels to New York to model and is an excellent speaker. Her life experiences made her the perfect choice for Miss Teen USA 2019.In pageantry, it is important to have a platform to represent throughout your reign, even as a teen. Kaliegh is actively promoting ‘We Are People First’ which recognizes that people with disabilities should not be, and are not defined by their disability. This platform was inspired by her sister who has multiple disabilities. Throughout her year as Miss Teen USA 2019, Kaliegh has been seen with big sister Miss USA 2019, Cheslie Kryst, along with Miss America 2019 Nia Franklin. The three made their mark across the world as it is the first time in the Miss USA, Miss Teen USA and Miss America history that all three reigning titleholders are women of African American descent.

The Miss America Pageant found its origins nearly 100 years ago, in the month of September. The pageant was first held on September 25, 1920. It was billed as the “Fall Frolic” and began simply as a marketing idea The event was so successful that the originators scheduled it to take place the week-end following Labor Day, to encourage summer visitors to stay in Atlantic City. Therefore, the first official, “Miss America” was held on September 8, 1921; 98 years ago!The competition has come a long way since then.

Are you obsessed yet with our new Miss America Nia Imani Franklin?? She recently sat down with the hosts of The Breakfast Club and opened up about the critics who came for her right after she was crowned saying she wasn't a legit New Yorker and when she first knew she was black and experienced a racist moment. Nia also addresses how she felt as a contestant competing for the first time without the Lifestyle & Fitness round during the Miss America 2.0 competition and the benefits of axing the swimsuit portion. And of course I share my two cents about the latest information coming from the desk of Gretchen & Regina in regards to them terminating 4 states' MAO licenses and the contestants' POV when it comes to national competitions in turmoil during competition season.
