As we continue our series "The Road to Miss Delaware 2019," we introduce to you the next contestant to be featured, Jenna Hitchens, Miss Talleyville 2019. Continue reading to learn more abut Jenna and her journey to the crown.

What have you learned from your current Miss Delaware, Joanna Wicks, which you hope to carry with you, regardless of whomever wins the title of Miss Delaware.
I honestly didn’t know Jo that well going into Miss DE but after the week she was one of my best friends. I learned a lot from her but the most important is to enjoy every single appearance and never take one for granted.



What is one goal you hope that the new Miss Delaware will accomplish during her reign?
I hope that she will leave an impactful legacy. I hope that you never have to question what she is passionate about.


If you could go back in the past, and give yourself one piece of advice when you first stepped into pageantry, what would it be?
GET RID OF THE BANGS AND PONY TAIL.

Share with us your platform and why it’s important to you.
My platform is victim to victor, helping sexual abuse survivors find their voice. As a sexual abuse survivor, I know what its like to not have a single person to talk to about your abuse and how it feels after. I want all survivors to know that they are not alone and that they can do a lot more than just survive.


“Bravura” is an artistic word for exceptional; what makes you a ‘bravura’ candidate for Miss Delaware?
I have not only survived the struggles of my own life, but I have chosen to openly talk about them in hopes of helping others who have struggled.
