Miss Jabberwock 2008









































Congratulations to Miss Chynna McDaniel for being crowned Miss 2008 Jabberwock!

I had the pleasure of photographing this special pagaent. The Kansas City Kansas Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta sorority crowned convened at the Mission Theatre in Shawnee Mission, KS Saturday afternoon to crown their 2008 Miss Jabberwock. This year's theme was "Many Things About Tomorrow". There were five ladies who participated but four were present with their families and friends. This was a black tie affair and Mission Theatre was packed for this special occasion. The ladies even got a opportunity to waltz with their fathers/escorts. Miss Jessica Ray, Miss Jabberwock 2006 passed the crown to Chynna. I think Chynna's mother was more excited for her than anyone in the building. Her eyes were so heavy with tears and happiness.

This brought back a lot of memories because when I was in high school (a long time ago), I was an escort for the Debutante Ball sponsored by Alpha Kappa Sorority (AKA). Both of my sisters were debutantes for the AKA Ball back in the day. Both sororities are rich in heritage and have a strong presence in the community - nationwide to be exact. Needless to say, these types of events are very special and I encourage every young lady in high school to visit your high school counselors and/or reach out to either sorority for information on how to participate.

Congratulations to all the contestants. Congratulations on a job well done - Demetria, Denisha and Shanike!
