Brenna Flynn’s performance at Miss Texas Teen USA evoked her two favorite things – history and fashion. Wearing a one of a kind pink gown designed especially for her, Brenna made pageant history when she was crowned Miss Texas Teen USA 2018!

Even at the age of fourteen, when Brenna entered her first pageant, she recognized the value of pageants as a vehicle not only for personal growth, but also for spreading her message of the power of words. A close personal relationship has opened Brenna’s eyes to the effect that kind and encouraging words can have on a person struggling with mental illness. She says that unkind or careless remarks can be harmful while a caring, sympathetic word has tremendous meaning to a teen suffering from depression and self harm. It is a message that she advances at every opportunity.

The high school senior aspires to a career with a major fashion company, as a buyer, blogger, and stylist. To that end, she plans to study fashion and product development at the University of Texas at Austin. She models frequently at Dallas Market, and she has taken courses at the University of Texas Fashion Design Camp.

Brenna calls herself a “history junkie”. Her favorite historical figure is George Washington. She would like to be able to pick his brain about the current political divide in our country and what can be done to mend it.

In addition to fashion and history, Brenna’s interests and accomplishments are wide ranging. At sixteen, she started her own business, Beauty by Brenna. She loves fitness and exercise, especially kick boxing. Her food blog, Brenna’s Bites, documents her search for the best “hole in the wall” eateries. She was a finalist in the Mayor Betsy Price Art Competition. She is Cheer Captain of her school’s varsity cheer team, founder and president of the Ping Pong Club, and a chicken farmer!

For years, Brenna has dreamed of becoming Miss Teen USA and having the opportunity to speak to a broader audience about teen mental illness and the power of words. With that goal, she is excited to compete to become the next Miss Teen USA from Texas.
