2020 bio:

Rachel Slawson is making history as the first openly LGBTQ+ woman to compete at Miss USA. She is a public speaker for TedX and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and a Certified Crisis Counselor. Through her transparent storytelling of lived experience with Bipolar Disorder, she is eradicating mental health stigma.​

Rachel trained internationally as an actor, writer, vocal artist, and improv comedian. Her life is fueled by her passion for art and adventure. She’s taught English in India, modeled in Paris, learned Muay Thai in Thailand, provided healthcare in Kenya, and helped build an orphanage in Haiti.

Lights, camera, action!  Professional photoshoots are one of the perks that comes from winning a title.

Candid & Appearance photos

From events straight after her crowning to her final appearances before she passed on her crown, here’s a look at all the appearances Rachel made during her reign, as well as other candid photos during her year.

Previous pageant photos

Rachel competed four times at Miss Utah USA before she won, as well as once at Miss California USA (although I don’t have any photos from Cali).  She was one of ten 2020 contestants to have competed in California previously.
