Manar Nadeem Deyani is the first beauty queen to represent her country at the global beauty pageant
Deyani, who is known as Jess to her friends, made history in November when she was named the first-ever beauty queen from Bahrain at the Miss Universe contest
Today I walked not just alone but with the millions of women who believe that in this generation the only standard of beauty should be the light that is sparkling from within. Anyone can shine as long they have the heart to serve with purity, compassion and kindness,” Deyani said in a message
I may be the shortest candidate in the history of Miss Universe, but I stand tall representing a country of love, peace and kindness – your first ever Miss Universe Bahrain,” the 155-centimetre tall Deyani posted on Instagram, announcing her participation on November 29.
