With immense gratitude and pride, I am beyond excited to say that we successfully held the very first auditions of Universal Woman Sri Lanka 2026. ✨🇱🇰
This is more than just a pageant — it is a platform to empower, inspire, and discover intelligent, confident, and compassionate women who will proudly represent Sri Lanka on the international stage at Universal Woman 2026 in Cambodia this September.
A heartfelt thank you to my dear friend Vindika Subasinghe, who believed in me and supported this vision from the very beginning. Your encouragement and strength truly helped bring this dream to life.
Special thanks to the Colombo Law Society for their incredible support towards making this event a success.
To Martha Carolina and the Universal Woman international team, thank you for believing in me, trusting my vision, and giving me the opportunity to bring Universal Woman to Sri Lanka. Your faith and support mean the world to me. ❤️
