In just two months since stepping into the world of modeling, Randi Mangra, crowned Miss Trinidad & Tobago Nation Universe 2025, has already begun reshaping what it means to walk the runway. For her, modeling isn’t merely about appearances — it’s about art, influence, and connection. “Modeling gives me the chance to meet and learn from people from different walks of life,” she shares. “True growth comes from understanding diverse perspectives, and I want to use my voice and presence to celebrate that unity on a global stage.”

Modeling with a Mission
Unlike many who pursue modeling solely for glamour, Mangra views the industry as a platform to advance her greater life purpose. She believes it’s about “expression, influence, and connection,” using creativity not only to represent beauty and culture but also to advocate for meaningful causes. Philanthropy, cultural pride, and global unity form the pillars of her platform.
Carrying a Crown with Purpose
As the reigning Miss Trinidad & Tobago Nation Universe 2025, Mangra plans to merge her title with her career to inspire others and open doors to global opportunities. “This title gives me the opportunity to represent my country with pride while showing that modeling can be a bridge to philanthropy, cultural celebration, and global connection,” she says.
Her aspirations extend beyond the runway. In the next five years, she envisions herself as an international model gracing Paris, Milan, New York, and London Fashion Weeks, while also embarking on her journey to become an attorney. With a background in real estate and an entrepreneurial spirit, Mangra hopes to balance law, modeling, and philanthropy — proving that ambition and purpose can coexist.
Breaking Stereotypes
Standing at 5’5”, Mangra defies the industry’s outdated standards of beauty and success. She challenges the idea that modeling and pageantry are confined to certain body types, backgrounds, or superficial ideals. “I want to show that true success comes from passion, dedication, and purpose,” she says, embodying her mission to redefine what it means to represent a nation on the world stage.
Rooted in Culture, Reaching for the World
Born in the USA to Indo-Caribbean heritage, Mangra proudly celebrates her Trinidadian roots while staying connected to her ancestral ties in India. This cultural pride is central to her mission of using her platform to advocate for education, empowerment, mental health, and cancer awareness.

“I aspire to represent Trinidad & Tobago internationally, sharing the beauty of our culture and heritage with the world,” Mangra says. For her, every step on the runway is a statement of identity, resilience, and purpose.
Beyond the Crown
Outside the spotlight, Mangra enjoys music, dancing, nature walks, and immersing herself in different cultures through food and travel. What makes her truly unique, however, is her ability to weave her many passions into a unified mission: to inspire, uplift, and make a positive impact wherever she goes.
In a world where beauty queens are often underestimated, Randi Mangra is determined to prove that pageantry and modeling are powerful platforms for change. With her sights set on both international runways and the courtroom, she represents not only the spirit of Trinidad & Tobago but also the potential of women everywhere who dare to dream beyond expectations.
