13 Grace Ellzey
Sponsor:
Grace was born in Shenzhen and adopted as a baby where she's lived in LA ever since. Although Grace never learned Chinese, it never stopped her from watching Chinese TV shows on YouTube with her older sister and eating at her favorite Chinese restaurant. Since her young age, Grace has loved Chinese culture and cuisine, being proud of her birth country and where she's from. When a friend recommended that she compete in Miss Los Angeles Chinatown, she felt it would be an honor, to represent not just where she came from, but the thousands of children just like her who are adopted from China.
