Hanin Al Qoreishy, 29, was born in Iraq, but her family moved to the US when she was 9 amid conflict in her home country. According to her Miss Universe bio, Qoreishy herself was kidnapped and exposed to gun violence before being rescued. She became a caregiver for her siblings in her teen years as they tried to recover from their experiences.
At just 18, Qoreishy became the youngest finance manager at Group 1 Automotive, though her young adult years were full of ups and downs as she went through marriage, divorce, and miscarriages. Today, she is a legal assistant.
Qoreishey turned her turmoil into purpose, founding Legacy Insurance Advisors to support people seeking financial independence and the Uplifted Hearts Foundation, an organization that helps displaced and orphaned children around the globe.
She further supports children in the Middle East through partnerships with organizations like the YMCA and Shoe Palace, never forgetting her roots.
