Join us for storytime with special guest Miss Arkansas Teen USA 2024 Siyona Karkera! Siyona Karkera is the first Indian American to be crowned Miss Arkansas Teen USA and serves as a NAMI state youth ambassador.

Siyona Karkera, a senior at Pulaski Academy, achieved a significant milestone in her pageant journey by clinching the coveted title of Miss Arkansas Teen USA 2024. The crowning moment occurred on April 14, 2024, amidst excitement and applause at the OCCC Performing Arts Center Theater in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Siyona's triumph not only marks a personal victory but also a historic moment as she becomes the first Indian American to hold this esteemed title.


Beyond her role as a professional model and pageant queen, Siyona serves as a beacon of inspiration in her community and beyond. As a NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness) state youth ambassador, she passionately advocates for children's mental wellness, leveraging her platform to amplify awareness and destigmatize mental health issues among youth.
