Her family’s inspiring story, with her father later watching his daughter crowned Miss America, is just one of thousands of stories that will be shared during this national, week-long movement. 

On March 18, 2019, at noon Nia will be joined by other members of the Miss America Organization, broadway performers, and local chapters of Phi Mu Sorority in Times Square to talk to and engage with the general public about why CMNH is so important.
