Learn All About Miss Teen USA 2019 Kaliegh Garris's Platform, We Are People 1st

Kaliegh Garris official portrait for Miss Teen USA 2019 is so gorgeous that we don’t have any words!

The 18-year-old student won the crown during the competition last night in Reno, Nevada.

“So this happened last night…@missusa @renotahoe #crowningmoments,” Kaliegh posted on her personal Instagram after the event.

Here’s some cool things to know about Kaliegh: she attends two different high schools – one for academics and one for theater studies.

Kaliegh also started the movement, We Are People 1st, which was inspired by her older sister, who has several disabilities and she has seen how those, and her sister’s wheelchair changes the way people would look and treat her.

Through her program, Kaliegh educates others on ways to respectfully speak to individuals with health conditions and disabilities, and was recently recognized for her work by the Department of Disabled Services.
