Rima Fakih, Miss USA 2010

Rima Fakih (born October 2, 1986) is an American beauty pageant titleholder and winner of Miss USA 2010. She won the Miss Michigan USA pageant on September 19, 2009, and the Miss USA pageant on May 16, 2010. She is the first Miss Michigan to win the Miss USA title since Kenya Moore in 1993.
Fakih was born in Srifa, Lebanon on October 2, 1986, to a prominent Shi'a Muslim family. She moved to New York with her family in 1993, where she later attended St. John's Preparatory School, a Catholic high school. Her family moved to Dearborn, Michigan, in 2003. Fakih's family is Muslim, but they celebrate elements of both the Muslim and Christian faiths.
Fakih is widely believed to be the first Lebanese American, the first Arab American, the first woman of the Muslim faith, and the first immigrant to win the Miss USA title; however, pageant officials stated their records are not detailed enough to confirm these claims.
Fakih currently resides in Dearborn. She is a graduate of the University of Michigan–Dearborn, with degrees in economics and business management, and plans to attend law school after her year-long reign.
