Founded in 1985 by Rose Chung at the Asian Arts Festival in Santa Clara, California, the Miss Asian Global Pageant was a response to the underrepresentation of Asian women in mainstream pageantry and Hollywood. Chung emphasized, “true representation goes beyond visibility; it’s about empowerment. It’s about proclaiming that Asian women deserve the spotlight.” The pageant set out to challenge stereotypes, break barriers, and champion the belief that beauty transcends cultural boundaries. Its evolution from Miss Asian California (1985) to Miss Asian America (1991) and ultimately to Miss Asian Global (2012) marked a significant stride toward greater inclusivity.
