You’ve probably heard of the Miss America pageant, but have you heard of the Miss for America Strong pageant?

It's part of the Mrs. America organization, and it’s for single women who are divorced, widowed or unattached, with or without kids. It’s designed to empower women and encourage them to be active in their own communities.

Nara Lee is this year’s Miss Idaho for America Strong 2025 and she joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.

Returning to Boise for the summer of 2025, I am excited to intern with Idaho Matters and explore the fields of radio and podcast journalism. Outside the office, I look forward to spending time in the beautiful Idaho outdoors I’ve always loved.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
