Hawaii's Savannah Gankiewicz was crowned Miss USA 2023 during a coronation attended by the state's Gov. Josh Green, after the previous titleholder Noelia Voigt resigned for mental health reasons.
Savannah Gankiewicz of Hawaii was crowned Miss USA 2023, more than a week after the previous titleholder resigned for mental health reasons. Born and raised on the island of Maui, Gankiewicz is a model who leads a female empowerment nonprofit organization. Gankiewicz, who was the first runner-up at the pageant last September, accepted the title on Wednesday during a special coronation attended by Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, Hawaii News Now reported. She will hold the title until August.
Miss USA 2024 is scheduled to take place from July 24 to Aug. 4. Gankiewicz told KHON-TV she received backlash for deciding to take on the remainder of the title's term. 'But I wanted people to know that I’ve taken this title because I feel like it is a responsibility and an opportunity to make a positive change from within, and I can only do that from inside the organization and not standing out,' she said.
