Arab American Woman Crowned Miss Arab USA 2014
On September 6th, 2014 at Talking Stick Resort & Casino in Arizona, Guinwa Zeineddine was crowned as Miss Arab USA 2014. The 22 year old, born in Canada was raised in the UAE before moving to the United States at 16 years old.
Raised by two resilient, hardworking Lebanese parents, who are the core of her foundation, she owes her strong ethics to the continued support and unconditional love of her family.
She is currently pursuing two degrees in Pre-pharmacy and communications, while maintaining a competitive GPA. She has remained on the Dean’s list and has been inducted into the National Society of Collegiate Scholars.
As a strong, independent Arab woman, Guinwa is an advocate for community involvement and female empowerment. She has served countless hours to under serviced communities in efforts to promote education.
Some of her community service include the Boys & Girls Club, Center for the Blind, Operation Christmas Child, the Salvation Army and adopting needy families for the holidays. Guinwa honorably became the first Arab American president of a Latina-based sorority at her university.
Guinwa believes that The Miss Arab USA crown serves as an opportunity for her to receive new and greater heights in her life. “As your Miss Arab USA, I am committed to be the best representation of what a Miss Arab USA should be!” she stated.
The Annual Miss Arab USA Pageant was founded on the basis of advancing the cause for young ladies of Arab descent. The Pageant is a charity event for the community, uniting Arab Americans and their friends in celebrating the Arab cultural heritage in the United States.
“This was one of the most exciting pageants we’ve witnessed” said Egyptian singing sensation Mohamed Hamaki. Every year The Miss Arab USA Pageant continues to grow and improve. One spectator said, “I’m finally happy to see Arizona highlight different cultures.”
