MISS GRAND
Sri Lanka
Nethaki Lokugamage
INTRODUCTION
I am Nethaki Lokugamage, proudly representing Sri Lanka. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, with the ambition of becoming a child psychologist. Inspired by my late grandfather, I began teaching children from marginalized communities in 2022. This journey led me to create my foundation, Athwela, or “holding hands,” an initiative dedicated to supporting children’s education and mental health. I aspire to use my voice and this international platform to create meaningful change.
Stop the War and Violence
War does not create winners. It creates broken families, lost childhoods, displaced communities, and generations carrying the pain of violence. As Miss Grand Sri Lanka, I believe that peace is not simply the absence of war; it is the presence of understanding, compassion, justice, and respect for every human life.
Every child deserves to grow up without the sound of gunfire, every family deserves to live without fear, and every human being deserves the right to live in peace.
I believe change begins with us. It begins when we teach our children that differences in race, religion, culture, nationality, or opinion should never become reasons to hate one another.
The 4Bs
Body represents strength, discipline, and confidence. It reminds me to be healthy, energetic, and strong enough to face every challenge.
Beauty is not only about appearance; it is about kindness, confidence, and the ability to inspire others through who I am.
Brain represents knowledge, intelligence, and having the courage to think independently and use my voice for positive change.
Business represents ambition, independence, and leadership. I want to create opportunities, build something meaningful, and contribute to my country and community.
For me, the 4Bs are not about being perfect; they are about being complete. They remind me that a modern woman can be strong in body, beautiful in character, powerful in mind, and successful with purpose. That is the woman I aspire to become and the Miss Grand Sri Lanka I want to represent.
PASSION TO BEAUTY PAGEANT
My Passion for Beauty Pageants
I have been passionate about pageantry ever since I was a child. The voice that is given to every titleholder has always fascinated me. My passion for beauty pageants comes from their power to transform confidence into influence.
SKILLS
My skills include public speaking, modelling, leadership, teaching, communication, and the ability to socialize and connect naturally with people from diverse backgrounds.
