"From the state with 84 percent of the U.S. fresh water but none for its residents to drink, I am Miss Michigan, Emily Sioma," she said, unwaveringly.
Flint, a city less than two hours away from Sioma's hometown of Grass Lakes, is still in the midst of a water crisis that began in 2014 when residents of the city "raised concerns over reported rashes, hair loss and other problems from using the tap water." While steps have been made to rectify the health crisis, the city is still struggling to make substantial progress towards providing clean drinking water for its residents.
Sioma highlighting the problems in Flint stood out among the other introductions, many which included their schools and majors. Fans of the pageant watching from home took notice at Sioma's declaration, and celebrated her taking the time to shine a light on the crisis.
