Kira Dixon (Kazantsev), Miss America 2015, is a host and reporter for Golf Channel and NBC Sports. She primarily covers news on the PGA TOUR and recently returned from her trip to Paris after her debut as a Sports Desk reporter at the 2024 Olympics.
In this episode with Kira, we discuss her beginnings in pageantry and how her Miss America journey started as a lighthearted, extracurricular activity with her mom, buying dresses off eBay and doing her own makeup. Her life took an exciting turn when she decided to compete for Miss New York. Against the odds, she captured the Miss America title, bringing home the crown to New York for the third year in a row. Kira shares her story about how a simple "yes," to playing golf as Miss America changed the trajectory of her career.
We discuss what it means to be Miss America, and Kira opens up about the value of quiet confidence instead of aiming for perfection. She also talks about her experiences dealing with public scrutiny, and the lessons she learned as she transitioned into life outside of the pageant world. 10 years later, Kira now understands why a former Miss America told her it would take her 10 years to feel "normal" again.
