Olivia Jordan advocates Women Empowerment

 
Olivia Jordan was crowned Miss USA on July 15’ 2016, and she became the first woman from Oklahoma to win the title. "It's been a crazy, hectic year! Hectic, but so much fun!" she said during an interview.
 
 
Jordan also shared during one of her interviews, "Some people would flat-out say that at my age, I should be focused on getting married and having babies," describing public reaction to her being the oldest woman to ever win the Miss USA title at age 26. "And in a lot of ways that affected me - it hurt. But it was worth the pain to be put in a position where, as a public figure, I could start a disruption around our society's views on women. If I could leave one legacy from my time as Miss USA, it would be an end to the idea that females have expiration dates on their dreams." 
 
Olivia said that her activism for women's issues during her reign as Miss USA provided numerous chances to share her experience with an optimistic approach. As for her future plans, Jordan says she will be heading back to Los Angeles to focus on her acting and modelling careers.
