Win Your Next Pageant
Get Pageant Questions Written By A Miss Universe Judge
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, Chelsie 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.
