Singh won the title of 2020-2021 National All-American Miss - a coveted prestige for the

Secret, Serene strives towards increasing representation of Sikh women worldwide in many fields.
In 2021, Serene wrote and published her very first children’s book “The Queen Machine”
to build self-esteem in kids worldwide. This has led her to create The Serenity Project

Obama and the Girls Opportunity Alliance to improve girls’ education, win Victoria
Secret’s GRL PWR campaign, perform a keynote at Yale University, and serve as a Dalai

As Founder of Hello South Asians to connect South Asians globally, the National Sikh
Youth Program, an organization created to invest and mentor young Sikhs, Oxford
Bhangra Society (Punjabi Indian folk dance), and the Rhodes Interfaith Alliance, Singh is
passionate about challenging stereotypes, fighting injustice, and promoting diversity. Her
leadership philosophy titled the “RDC Method” has been taught in leadership courses in
colleges across Colorado like Colorado College and University of Colorado at Boulder
and was the featured topic in a keynote to 2,000 individuals by Serene in February of
2019. A Speech and Debate teacher for the past six years, as well, Singh is part-time
working with low-income students (especially girls and marginalized communities) to develop their public speaking skills.
Her other hobbies include teaching over 10,000 students public speaking professionally
with 3P Speech, painting, rapping, snowboarding, and videography. Singh plans to
advance her passion for public service to one day serve on the United States Supreme Court.
