Trena J. Myers — Crowned with Purpose

About the Queen

A Crown Is Not the Goal — It Is the Responsibility

Trena J. Myers is a woman who wears her crown with purpose. As Ms. Elite United USA 2025 and Legacy Authority Architect™, 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 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.

She is also a proud mother, Gigi, and fiancée, embracing family as the heart of her legacy.

Her Mission

Leading with Grace & Purpose

Because when a woman understands her voice, her value, and her vision — she doesn't just wear a crown. She becomes one.

Make Rare Visible

Amplifying voices of individuals living with rare and invisible diseases through advocacy, storytelling, and community partnerships.

Empower Women to Lead with Purpose
