Saerlaith Anying Dunn 鄧安盈

miss los angeles chinatown - queen

Raised in Southern California by her mother alongside two sisters, Saerlaith has a deep love for animals, especially rabbits. When she’s not volunteering or caring for her beloved pets—Mei Mei the dog and Xiao Bao the rabbit—she’s dedicating her time to advocacy, educating herself and others on issues facing underserved communities.
Her favorite part of being on the court? The cultural advocacy and volunteer work. Saerlaith believes that representation matters, especially for young Asian children who need role models that look like them, both in our organization and in the media. “Representation impacts our children’s self-esteem and our relationships with one another. Supporting Asian/Chinese-American success is vital because when one of us rises, we all rise together.”
Inspired by women like Anna May Wong, Michelle Kwan, and Lucy Liu, Saerlaith joined the pageant to advocate for the community she cares so deeply about. It also fulfilled her childhood dream of becoming “big queen.” Now, she’s proud to represent such a historic and meaningful organization, continuing the legacy of Chinese-American culture in Los Angeles.
