Miss USA visit to Brooklyn site on amNY

Miss USA 2020 Asya Branch, 23, visited Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn yesterday, July 14, to share her story with children of incarcerated parents and their families about her years growing up with a father incarcerated in prison.

“I wish I had an organization like Children of Promise during my childhood to deal with the trauma of having my father incarcerated for ten years of my life,” said Brand. “I now use my voice and platform to make a difference in the lives of these children and their parents.”
