I am Perla Jbara, 21 years old and currently studying Computer Science. I am honoured to be part of the Miss Lebanon SA pageant. I am deeply connected to my heritage and Catholic faith, and driven by purpose. I speak Lebanese fluently — my language is not just a means of communication, but a reflection of identity and history.

I am a proud ambassador of my culture, and I am excited to share the beauty and richness of Lebanon with the world. As a computer scientist, I bring intellect, determination, and innovation to everything I pursue — breaking barriers in a field where women continue to shine. I believe in authenticity, elegance, and strength. To me, beauty is not just seen — it is expressed by how we live, how we speak, and how we uplift others. I live by the timeless saying of Coco Chanel: "Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself."

I come from a pure Lebanese lineage. I grew up following Lebanese traditions, celebrating every holiday the Lebanese way. This makes me feel deeply connected to the generations that came before me. It is like having the best of Lebanon on both sides. My fully Lebanese background has immersed me in rich language, flavourful cuisine, strong values, cherished stories, and vibrant music that have shaped my daily life.

My hobbies include reading, writing stories, singing, and bringing ideas to life through coding. I love connecting with the world creatively, curiously, and wholeheartedly. Every story I read, every line I write, every song I sing, and every line of code I build is touched by my soul.

In conclusion, being born to two Lebanese parents means the heart of Lebanon beats within me. I am Lebanese through and through — it’s not something I had to learn, it’s something I have lived, loved, and inherited. It is what I call "double the heritage." Lebanon is not just part of me, it is all of me. And I could not be prouder!
