Prissy Gomes to represent Cape Verde at Miss Universe 2025
It is with a deep sense of historic pride that we witness Cape Verde secure its presence in the Miss Universe pageant for the first time. Our ambassador is not just a candidate; she is the Cape Verdean woman personified: @prissygomes
For specialized critics and those who understand the socio-cultural dimension of this moment, it is important to note that her nomination goes far beyond the canons of a mere beauty contest. It is an act of geopolitical and cultural representation. @PrissyGomes raises the flag of Cape Verde on the global stage, challenging limiting narratives and proclaiming the strength, intellectual elegance and resilient spirit of the Creole woman.
Born in Tarrafal de Santiago and living between London and Paris, Prissy is not just a face: she is an established professional in the fashion world, an actress and presenter, carrying a powerful philosophical message: that "even the smallest islands can shine with a light of their own."
Her mission, as she says, is "to show the world the strength, beauty and elegance of Cape Verdean women and to inspire the young people of our country to believe that anything is possible through education and determination.
This is not a statement of circumstance; it is the pillar of her civic performance.
Her critical perception of the world is embodied in the "Educar é Libertar" project, an initiative of her own that supports girls and young women in Cape Verde. Through it, she promotes female empowerment not through rhetoric, but through concrete tools: education and digital literacy.
Her conviction that "education is the most powerful form of freedom" places her in a lineage of thought that sees knowledge as the last and most decisive act of sovereignty.
The time is now. The Miss Universe 2025 final will take place on November 21 in Thailand. This is a journey that belongs to all of us as a community.
Join us in supporting our ambassador. Let social media echo our collective pride.
Share. Debate. Celebrate culture.
