We support Noelia Voigt’s choice to put her #mentalhealth first. The first Venezuelan American to win Miss USA in 2023, Ms. Voigt is giving up her crown to prioritize her mental and physical wellbeing. Here’s why that matters. 👑 It shows that sometimes being a leader means stepping down. Ms. Voigt’s decision was probably incredibly difficult to make, and we applaud her decision to put her own wellbeing first. 👑 It’s a reminder that everyone is going through something — even if it doesn’t look like it. Behind the glamour of the Miss USA pageant are real people with their own mental health journeys. 👑 It fights stigma. Ms. Voigt’s story helps to normalize conversations around mental health, showing that you can be successful while still navigating your own challenges. In her words: “Deep down I know this is just the beginning of a new chapter for me. My hope is that I continue to inspire others to remain steadfast, prioritize your mental health, advocate for yourself and others by using your voice, and never be afraid of what the future holds, even if it feels uncertain.” #missusa #noeliavoigt
Such a powerful move and statement, thanks for sharing!
This is an incredible example of leadership in action. Prioritizing mental health empowers those around you. Well done, Noelia! 👏
