Nia Franklin, Miss America 2019 and the first winner of the revamped @missamerica 2.0 competition, knows how tough growing up can be, especially as a minority. Now, she wants to use her crown to remind kids everywhere how special they are Click the link in bio to hear more from advice from @niaimanifranklin ⠀
️The immense power of #BlackGirlMagic now lives in #MissUniverse #CheslieKryst, #MissTeenUSA #KalieghGarris, & #MissAmerica #NiaFranklin! For the first time in American history, three Black women have been crowned as winners of the country’s top beauty pageants! Tap #linkinbio to learn about these three magical women who have shattered the ceiling on what we CAN'T do!
For decades, black women were barred from #MissAmerica contests. Last week, for the first time, black women wore the crowns of all three major American pageants simultaneously. Cheslie Kryst, 28, won the Miss USA contest, and Kaliegh Garris, 18, won Miss Teen USA — joining Nia Franklin, 25, who was crowned as the 2019 @missamerica in September. The three wins are a powerful symbol of how much American views on beauty have evolved from a past marred by racism, even as some question the role that beauty pageants have in a #MeToo world at all. “It is important to little brown and black girls to see three strong figures, three strong women, African-American women that are doing so much great work,” Nia Franklin said on Saturday.

Miss America @niaimanifranklin had a heart-warming day @childrens_specialized_hospital in Mountainside, NJ with @dairyqueen and @cmnhospitals! “Nia was absolutely phenomenal with the children today,” said Teresa McCann, CMN Hospitals Program Coordinator for Children's Specialized. “Nia was able to bond with our children and families right away, but they were particularly mesmerized by her playing her Ukulele! They will be talking about this for weeks to come.” After looking at these sweet photos, we will be too! #mao #miracletreatday #missamerica #niafranklin #cmnhospitals
Nia Franklin, Miss America 2019 and the first winner of the revamped @missamerica 2.0 competition, wouldn’t let a professor diminish her musical dreams. Now, with two degrees in music composition under her sash, the composer and arts advocate wants to remind kids everywhere to believe in themselves Click the link in bio to hear more from advice from @niaimanifranklin ⠀
For the first time in history, Black Women reign supreme in the beauty pageant world! Congrats to Miss USA @chesliekryst, Miss America @niaimanifranklin and Miss Teen USA @kalieghgarris. •
