SCORE TWO FOR THE BIG APPLE!

After a long week of preliminary competition, I am so happy for our reigning Miss Delaware for all that she has learned and obtained from this Journey. Coming home with the "Non-Finalist Talent Award", Rebecca has "...done her state very proud!"

I would also like to congratulate our new Miss America 2014, Nina Davuluri! Dazzling us with her unique Bollywood Talent, she commanded the stage, winning the Miss America for the state of New York, not once, but TWICE in a row!? Despite missing her cue when called to perform, Nina still blue the judges away with her poise and wonderful stage presence. This crowning was truly one to remember, making her reign the very first back-to-back state title winners and the very first of the Indian Culture to bring home the crown, opening doors for thousands of young women world-wide. Now that she is the newly crowed Miss America, Nina will travel all over the US, promoting her platform, "Celebrating Diversity through Cultural Competence". I am so excited to see what Nina has in store for us! LETS GO NINA!
