About
Trena J. Myers | Ms. Elite United USA 2025
Crowned with purpose, leading with impact.
Rare disease advocate. Legacy builder. Queen in action.
Trena J. Myers is a woman who wears her crown with purpose.
As Ms. Elite United USA 2025, Trena represents more than elegance and poise—she represents resilience, advocacy, and legacy. A nationally recognized speaker, entrepreneur, and rare disease advocate, Trena uses her platform to amplify voices that are often unseen and unheard.
Known as “The Zebra Queen,” Trena is the Founder & CEO of Rare Wish, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing joy, resources, and visibility to individuals living with rare and invisible diseases. Through advocacy, storytelling, and community partnerships, she is committed to ensuring that rare families are not forgotten—but celebrated, supported, and seen.
Beyond advocacy, Trena is the Founder of Cre8tive Marketing Agency and the visionary behind the Legacy Crown Collection™, a leadership and branding framework designed to help women clarify their message, embody confidence, and build purpose-driven platforms that create lasting impact.
Her message is simple yet powerful:
A crown is not the goal — it is the responsibility.
Trena believes that the Queen lifestyle is not about titles; it is about daily discipline, integrity, wellness, and service. Whether she is speaking on stages, coaching titleholders, hosting The Royal Buzz Podcast, or serving her community, she leads with grace and boldness.
She is also a proud mother, Gigi, and fiancée, embracing family as the heart of her legacy.
Through her reign, Trena’s mission is clear:
✨ Make Rare Visible
✨ Empower Women to Lead with Purpose
✨ Build Legacies That Outlive the Crown
Because when a woman understands her voice, her value, and her vision—she doesn’t just wear a crown.
She becomes one.
