This past year the pageant celebrated its 100th year and crowned their first Korean-American winner, Emma Broyles from Alaska. Broyles, aged 20 received her winning crown and a $100,000 college scholarship at the award show on December 16th, 2021.
Broyles represented Alaska at the 100th anniversary of the Miss America pageaant and was not only the first Korean-American winner but also the first Miss Alaska winner as well.
2022 Miss America Winner Broyles studies biomedical science and voice performance at the Barrett Honors College at Arizona State University and is proud to be Miss America’s first Korean-American winner. “It’s something that I am hoping will inspire other young women and men all across the country who may not have seen people who look like them in positions like Miss America,” she tells Insider Magazine.
Broyles shared that her grandparents immigrated from Korea to Anchorage, Alaska, about 50 years ago, which is before her mother was born. Broyles hopes her win will impact others as it contributes to Asian representation in mainstream media to overall redefine how beauty is defined.

I as well as my buddies appeared to be digesting the great recommendations found on your web blog while at once I got a terrible feeling I had not thanked the site owner for them. Most of the women appeared to be certainly very interested to see all of them and have now certainly been loving these things. Appreciation for truly being so considerate and then for opting for this kind of cool resources millions of individuals are really desirous to learn about. My personal sincere regret for not expressing appreciation toearlier.
As the mother of four children, two of whom we adopted from South Korea, I am looking forward to learning more about South Korea, its culture, and its people. My children have embraced their Korean heritage, and my daughter Nam traveled back to South Korea not only to search for her birth parents but also to learn more about the country where she was born. Upon her return to the United States, she produced an award-winning documentary film called “Found in Korea.” I feel like our journey has only just begun.
