Asya Branch won Miss Mississippi USA in 2018 and then Miss USA in 2020.
The last Miss Universe pageant was in December 2019 and its winner, Zozibini Tunzi of South Africa, has worn the crown longer than anyone else. When she initially became Miss Mississippi, Branch said she wanted to increase awareness of the needs of children of incarcerated parents, citing her own father’s time in prison since she was 10. The University of Mississippi student said she hopes to increase resources and mentors for such children. Branch spoke to Fox News about how she’s preparing for Miss Universe, how faith kept her grounded during tough times, as well as how she really feels about the swimsuit portion of the competition.More Related News
