"I&#;m a beauty and fashion geek who loves to tell stories. I&#;m passionate about original reporting and aspire to be a morning news anchor for a national news network. As the daughter of political refugees from Vietnam, I take pride in my charity that raises money for Vietnam War Veterans living in extremely impoverished areas of Vietnam. At the end of the day, I like to curl up with a hot cup of tea and discover new literary authors. " Hoang-Kim Cung
Kim: Nearly eight years ago, I received a flyer in the mail for National American Miss. At the time, I was a competitive figure skater skating nearly four to five hours a day with the addition of one-hour workouts. When I received the flyer, I was nursing a torn meniscus in my knee. I couldn&#;t skate&#; I wasn&#;t even allowed to work out or do any off-ice training. My Mom and I talked about doing the pageant for a different experience, gaining a new perspective and making new friends since I was home-schooled. Little did I know that flyer would take me on an incredible journey.
Tiffany: How did you prepare for the National Pageant?
Kim: I&#;ve been to Nationals three times before, twice as a city queen and once as a state queen, and each time gave me a different perspective. Between my last year as a teen contestant in and my trip back to Nationals this year , I competed in other pageants and like every contestant, wanted to win the respective title. But along this journey that started when I was only 14 years old, and especially in this year, I have gained clarity. I went into Nationals with a greater sense of confidence in who I am and what I was capable of achieving. I knew whoever the judges awarded with the National crown would be an extremely outstanding young lady and whether that was me or not, I knew it was the right path.
Tiffany: What is the best advice you have ever received?
Kim:Growing up as a competitive figure skater, Sasha Cohen was a huge role model to me. I remember getting to
Hi Y’all! I’m Hoàng-Kim and it’s my goal to leave you feeling like you just hung out with your best friend. You feel confident, invigorated and smart. Like you just learned something new and you’re ready to tackle life.
Storytelling is a passion of mine. After years of working as a TV Journalist in Nebraska and Virginia, I’m thrilled to be home in Dallas, Texas surrounded by family and sharing my story.
I started Color & Chic in college as a way to encourage my friends to dress with confidence and it’s humbling to see it evolve into a place to share my elevated, livable and attainable style.
Being the daughter of Vietnamese political refugees, family is incredibly important to me. I’m the only one born in the USA – my parents and older siblings left communist Vietnam for freedom, democracy and human rights. I’m fluent in Vietnamese and love sharing bits of my culture.
I was the first Vietnamese-American to compete at Miss USA and representing Nebraska while working full-time as a TV reporter was such a humbling experience. Pageants gave me confidence, honed my public speaking and communication skills and gave me so many friends. Being Miss Nebraska USA gave me so many chances to meet and serve new people along with incredible once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
I’m newly married to my husband, Johnny. We’ve been together for more than 12 years and while we don’t always do things the traditional way, they work for us and we love sharing how we do life together!
It&#;s been the two of us for so long and we are so excited to share we are welcoming a baby into the world next year!
