<p>A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/beauty-pageant" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beauty pageant</a> winner gave a pro-family, pro-motherhood answer during the Mrs. American contest over the weekend with a response that the audience loved as they cheered and went wild.</p>
<p>Mrs. South Dakota, Hannah Neeleman, a mother of seven and a farmer in Kamas, Utah, <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2023/08/27/beauty-pageant-winner-pro-family-hannah-neeleman-mrs-american/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">competed</a> on Friday in the <a href="https://www.pageantcircle.com/2023/08/mrs-american-2023-is-hannah-neeleman-of-south-dakota-for-mrs-world-2023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">national event</a> held at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort &amp; Casino in Nevada where she ended up winning the crown. It came after she gave an answer to the question, &#8220;When have you felt most empowered?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I have felt this feeling seven times now as I bring these sacred souls to the earth,&#8221; Neeleman told the audience as she got choked up.</p>
<p>&#8220;After I hold that newborn baby in my arms, the feeling of motherhood and bringing them to the earth is the most empowering feeling I have ever felt,&#8221; she added.</p>

<p>Neelman is now expected to go on to compete for the title of Mrs. World 2023. She follows last year&#8217;s winner of the national pageant Krisdee Clark of South Carolina who was crowned Mrs. American 2022.</p>
<p>The beauty pageant winner, who goes by Ballerina Farm on social media based on the name of her <a href="https://ballerinafarm.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">company</a>, shared several clips on her Instagram from the contest. One showed the moment she was crowned the winner, beating out Mandy Fave of Minnesota and Jayme Perryman of Idaho who came in second and third place, <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2023/08/27/beauty-pageant-winner-pro-family-hannah-neeleman-mrs-american/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Caller</a> noted.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am humbled beyond words,&#8221; Neelman wrote. &#8220;Your new Mrs American. Thank you [mrspageantry] for capturing the crowning moment.&#8221;</p>

<p>Many of the comments were congratulatory, but one asked the question that was on several people&#8217;s minds: how did Neelman run in South Dakota when she lives in Utah? One person responded that in &#8220;South Dakota they have an open invitation policy. You can interview and run if chosen even if you live in another state.&#8221;</p>
