Miss America
Miss America is one of the oldest pageants in the world. Nia Franklin of New York put her name in the history books when she was crowned the winner of the 92nd edition in September.
Known for her many talents which include singing, Franklin wowed the judges when she sang “Quando m’en vo’” from Puccini’s “La Bohème” at the annual event.
She is currently working with Sing for Hope, a nonprofit organization focused on helping people, including children and artists through the power of music. She is an advocate for the arts.
