Watching Miss America 2023 (I have an acquaintance in the Top 10 🎉). There's a ridiculous level of variety of shapes, sizes, shades ... a lot of Brown skin up there. A lot of Asian women as well (including Miss Texas, Averie Bishop). Short, tall, medium ... couple of teachers and doctors as well. Really interesting mix.
I've watched the announcer mispronounce the same Black woman's name 3 times in a row ... You would think after the first time someone would tell her backstage that she has done this ... but she continues to disrespect this woman over and over. It's not even a complicated name and yet she just refuses to say it properly. This is the 3rd day of the competition ... and she still doesn't know it? I don't believe that. This is now tell tale White nonsense.
My acquaintance made it to the top 5 ❤️ 🎉 ... really amazing and diverse lineup. I'm happy for my acquaintance but I do love an epic nuclear engineer 😂 I mean come on ❤️
Congrats to Grace Stanke ... the epic nuclear engineer from Wisconsin. She is Miss America 2023. ❤️ She also plays a mean violin 👍🏾 🎶
