So being able to connect with everybody is important. 'As a bilingual Venezuelan-American woman, I plan to connect with that community of people because the United States of America is a diverse country and a Miss USA needs to be able to represent every community no matter their background, their race, their ethnicity, anything and I would like to be that Miss USA.' The post Utah's Noelia Voigt is crownedMiss USA 2023 appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
