Miss Teen USA Steps Down

Miss Teen USA 2023, UmaSofia Srivastava, has decided to step down from her position, citing a misalignment of personal values with the direction of the organization. She made the announcement on Instagram, expressing gratitude for the support she received during her reign. Srivastava, a first-generation Mexican-Indian American, plans to continue her advocacy work for education and acceptance through foundations like The Lotus Petal Foundation and the Bridge of Books Foundation. The Miss Teen USA organization says a new title-holder will be announced soon. This news comes shortly after Miss USA 2023, Noelia Voigt, also announced her resignation.
