Bailey Mae Anderson was crowned Miss Mississippi USA 2021 on 13rd March 2021 at the Horseshoe Casino and Hotel Tunica hosted by Greenwood Productions and will represent Mississippi at Miss USA 2021. She was crowned by her predecessor Miss Mississippi USA 2020 Asya Branch who went on to win Miss USA 2020 crown.
Bailey is 22-year-old and is a special care new born nurse. It was her mom’s encouragement, along with the support of her family and community, that gave her the confidence to pursue her childhood dream. “To see a dream that I have worked so tirelessly and wholeheartedly for come true is just so surreal for me,” Bailey wrote in her first Facebook post as Miss Mississippi USA.
As Miss Mississippi USA, Anderson said she will continue to serve her state and encourage young girls to never give up. She added, “I just want to be someone, when somebody calls me and they want me to be at an appearance or want me to do anything, just being that girl that always says, ‘Yeah, I’ll be there’, Really, it’s the idea that if someone believes in you and you believe in yourself, you can do anything and don’t stop until you accomplish those dreams. It may take three times but it’ll happen one day if you keep working hard.”
