MISS UNIVERSE SRI LANKA 2024 ON MONEY, MINDSET AND GROWTH | MELLONEY DASSANAYAKA | THE MORNING PLUS

Today on Ladies First Podcast, we sat down with the incredible Melloney Dassanayaka Miss Universe Sri Lanka 2024, former national basketball player, banker, and a woman who truly represents strength, discipline, and ambition. From sports to pageantry, finance to fearless adventures, Melloney opens up about the side people don’t always see behind the titles. We talk about confidence, failure, financial habits, Gen Z, personal growth, and the lessons that shaped her journey. She shares how basketball built her mindset, what pageantry taught her beyond the crown, and why failure is often the biggest teacher in life. ▷ Location Partner - Commons Coffeehouse W A T C H N E X T • EPISODE 01 -    • WOMEN'S DAY SPECIAL | LADIES FIRST | THE M...   • EPISODE 02 -    • HOW ROSH KUMARASINGHE BUILT A GLOBAL BEAUT...   • EPISODE 03 -    • ALOSHA HERATH: HOW DOES SHE DO IT ALL? | L...   • EPISODE 04 -    • NEAHA RANASINGHE ON VIRAL VIDEOS, MAKEUP &...   • EPISODE 05 -    • NATASHA FERNANDO GETS REAL ON CONFIDENCE, ...   • EPISODE 06 -    • AVURUDU SPECIAL EPISODE WITH MISS SRI LANK...   • EPISODE 07 -    • SADE GREENWOOD GETS REAL: MISS WORLD, CONF...   ▶ Produced By - The Morning ▶ Host By - Melkishiya Andrew ▶ Director of Photography - Rajeew Bowatte ▶ 2nd Director of Photography - Sajith Balasuriya ▶ Edit | Sounds | Colorist - Rajeew Bowatte ▶ Production Director - Lahiru Doloswala ▶ Production Team (The Morning) - Sajith Balasuriya | Rajeew Bowatte | Asitha Kumara | Buddhima Thennakoon | Melkishiya Andrew Follow us on! ➤ Website - https://www.themorning.lk/ ➤ Facebook -   / themorning.lk.official   ➤ Instagram -   / themorning.plus   ➤ X - https://x.com/TheMorningLK © 2026 Copyrights are owned by The Morning #themorninglk #themorningplus #podcast #MelloneyDassanayaka #MissUniverse #MissUniverseSriLanka #MissUniverseSriLanka2024
