Miss Universe 2019 Winner Is Here!

South Africa's Zozibini Tunzi is the Miss Universe 2019! She was crowned Miss Universe on Sunday night after going through the rounds of swimsuit and evening gown struts, questions on social issues and one final chance to explain why she was the right choice.

Miss Mexico and Miss Puerto Rico were the two runner-ups. "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 it is time that it stops today. I want children to look at me and see my face and I want them to see their faces reflected in mine," Zozibini said.

Zozibini said that all young girls should be taught leadership as it is lacking in young girls and women for a long time because of the society labels. She also said the girls are the most powerful beings in the world and they should take up space in the society. After her winning the title, congratulatory messages are pouring in on social media.

"Congratulations Miss South Africa, the new Miss Universe @zozitunzi! Agree with you...leadership is the most powerful thing we should teach young women today. We welcome your visit to #OWLAG, our Leadership Academy for Girls (sic)," Oprah Winfrey tweeted.
