Miss Michigan is the new Miss USA! Alma Cooper, an Afro-Latina, the daughter of a migrant worker and an army officer, was announced as the winner of the annual beauty pageant. It was held on Sunday, August 4th at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.

“As the daughter of a migrant worker, a proud Afro-Latina woman, and an officer of the United States Army, I am living the American dream,” she had told judges during a Q&A session at Sunday’s pageant. “If there’s anything that my life and my mother have taught me, it’s that your circumstances never define your destiny: You can make success accessible through demanding excellence.”

Cooper beat out Miss Kentucky Connor Perry and Miss Oklahoma Danika Christopherson in the top three for the crown.

¡Miss Michigan es la nueva Miss USA! Alma Cooper, una afrolatina, hija de un trabajador migrante y una oficial del ejército, fue anunciada como la ganadora del certamen anual de belleza. Se llevó a cabo el domingo 4 de agosto en el Peacock Theater de Los Ángeles.

“Como hija de un trabajador migrante, una orgullosa mujer afrolatina y una oficial del ejército de los Estados Unidos, estoy viviendo el sueño americano”, les dijo a los jueces durante una sesión de preguntas y respuestas en el certamen del domingo. “Si hay algo que mi vida y mi madre me han enseñado es que las circunstancias nunca definen tu destino: puedes hacer que el éxito se logre buscando siempre la excelencia”.

Cooper superó a Miss Kentucky Connor Perry y Miss Oklahoma Danika Christopherson en el top tres de la carrera por la corona.
