Iolani alumna Lauren Teruya won the coveted Miss Hawaii title back in May after impressing the judges with a performance to a Broadway number as well as her on-stage presence and communication.

Along with representing the state in the upcoming Miss America competition, Lauren is also looking forward to raising awareness on her social impact statement “Arts for All.”

Lauren is also the sister of Miss Hawaii 2017 Kathryn Teruya, making this the first time a pair of sisters has ever held the Miss Hawaii title.

In the latest episode of Island Beat, Billy V talks to the Teruya sisters about Miss Hawaii and what’s ahead for them.
