New Miss America Nia Imani Franklin is glad that she did not have to wear a swimsuit to win the pageant
Nia Imani Franklin, who became the first woman to win the Miss America crown without having to sport a swimsuit, says that she is very glad that she did not have to.
Nia won the title in Atlantic City while she was competing as Miss New York and believes that the latest changes in the 98-year-old organization are a welcome one. After she won the crown, she spoke to reporters and shared that she was glad that there was no swimsuit competition as it enabled her to be able to eat a bit more.
