Miss Mississippi Teen USA 2020 Zoe Bigham is a 17 year old student at Winston Academy where she is enjoying her junior year. A member of the Honor’s Society, Zoe also received the Mississippi Women for Agriculture scholarship in 2019 for her essay submission. This was no easy task, and an accomplishment she is very proud of due to agriculture being the top industry of the state of Mississippi.

Zoe is the founder of “Zoe’s Closet,” and has set a goal to donate and clothe as many children as possible across the United States. Inspired by her favorite quote “If you can not clothe one hundred, clothe one,” Zoe began this initiative in her home state, and will utilize her connection to the Miss Universe Organization to spread this cause nationwide. She donates regularly to her local elementary school with not only coats but backpacks and other school necessities. She hopes to expand her donations to other schools in the state of Mississippi in need of such supplies. So far Zoe has donated three hundred coats and one hundred backpacks. Along with her donation efforts, she enjoys building meaningful relationships with the children she encounters through various interactions with contests and school readings. Zoe is excited to continue this work throughout her year as Miss Mississippi Teen USA and beyond!
