Vivian O’Neal crowned as the new Miss Mississippi

Miss Pine Belt Vivian O’Neal was crowned as the new Miss Mississippi on Saturday night.

O’Neal, a Hattiesburg native, won the hearts of many viewers last night as she performed her impressive dance routine to Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.”

O’Neal founded CapABLE, which is her non-profit organization that provides disability resources to educators that has already reached over 20,000 students in five states.

Now that O’Neal has been crowned as Miss Mississippi, she will soon be on an appearance schedule while representing her home state.
