Miss
Universe 2019 Black Girl Dreamlike
"I
proudly state my name Zozibini Tunzi, Miss Universe 2019!"
"I
grew up in a world where a woman who looks like me, with my kind of skin and my
kind of hair, was never considered to be beautiful.
"I
think that it is time that that stops today."
Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi
That's
the message from newly-crowned Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi, who is from South
Africa. Beyond 90 women collectively took part in the pageant which was held in
Atlanta in the US on Sunday. Zozibini beat Puerto Rico's Madison Anderson and
Mexico's Sofia Aragon in the final three to take the tiara. Finalists in the competition were asked a
range of questions on topics, for instance, climate change, protest, and social
media.
In
her final question, 26-year-old Zozibini was asked what we should be teaching
young girls today.
Her
answer was leadership.
"It's
something that has been lacking in young girls and women for a very long time -
not because we don't want to, but because of what society has labeled women to
be," she said.
"I
think we are the most powerful beings in the world, and that we should be given
every opportunity.
"And
that is what we should be teaching these young girls - to take up space."
Quite
a lot of people highlighted the significance of a black woman with natural hair
winning a beauty pageant.
We all congratulate you on your great performance as Miss Universe 2019.
