Episode Details

Holly Huber, Miss Alaska USA and the first Juneau native to win the crown, is turning her platform into a powerful force for suicide prevention after losing her brother to suicide and witnessing her mother’s near-fatal attempt. Now lobbying in Washington D.C. and serving on the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s board, she’s fighting for mental health access in Alaska — where the suicide rate is the highest in the nation — and pushing for funding to reach remote communities facing eight-month wait times. As she prepares for the Miss USA pageant, she carries not just a crown, but the hopes of her resilient state and a message of hope, healing, and urgent action.
