Miss Sophia Hughes is a 17 year old with a platform to help the homeless people of Delaware.
Sophia is not just a title holder; she has a heart dedicated to giving back.
Sophia's journey goes beyond the crown; it's about a cause close to her, the M.A.C (Make a Change) platform, where she passionately advocates for Homelessness.
Why is this cause so significant for Sophia? Let's rewind to her elementary school days, where she faced the challenges of youth homelessness amid the storms of non-permanent housing and bullying. Her personal struggles with bullying and homelessness have only fueled her desire to be a voice for young people facing similar battles in the community.
As Miss Delaware’s Teen, Sophia is increasing awareness of youth homelessness. For her, it's about empowering youth without a voice, ensuring they know they're not defined by their circumstances.
