Shree Saini has created history by becoming the first Indian-American to win the Miss World America 2021 as she was crowned two days ago by the Miss America World organization. Shree succeeds Miss World America 2020 Alissa Anderegg.
Shree is currently Miss World America Washington who also holds the prestigious title of ‘MWA National Beauty with a Purpose Ambassador’, a position she earned by working tirelessly to help those less fortunate and in need. Among her many accomplishments, her work has been recognized by UNICEF, Doctors without Borders, Susan G Komen, to name a few.
The national organization took to their official social media to congratulate her in a post captioned, “We are certain Shree will continue to immaculately embody Beauty With A Purpose, and no doubt will be successful in raising awareness and attention to the Miss World America mission. Stay tuned and follow the Miss World America 2021 journey!”
An advocate for heart health, Saini has had a permanent pacemaker since she was 12 and overcame a major car accident which left her with burns all over her face. But she rarely if ever lets any of that hold her back or define her.
Diana Hayden crowned Shree Saini at the coronation event, which was held at Miss World America headquarters in Los Angeles. The stunning beauty, post her coronation, exclaimed, “I am happy and quite nervous. I can't express my feelings (in words). All the credit goes to my parents, especially my mother because of whose support I am here. Thank you Miss World America for this honour. I am the first American of Indian origin and first Asian to be crowned Miss World America.”
The organization also thanked the predecessor, Alissa for her tireless efforts during her reign as they wrote, “We would like to also take this opportunity to give our heartfelt gratitude to Alissa Anderegg, for her outstanding role as Miss World America 2020. Alissa has filled her one-year reign with incredible work in raising awareness for Alzheimer’s and related dementias.”
Congratulations to the newly crowned queen!
