Newly crowned Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi shared some pearls of wisdom when answering questions during the competition. Zozi spoke proudly about diversifying beauty and the importance of women and girls taking the lead.“The most important thing we should be teaching young girls today is leadership. It's something that has been lacking in young women and girls for a very long time, not because we don't want to [lead], but because of what society has labelled women to be.
“Future leaders could do a little bit more, but we as individuals can also play a part in making the climate the way it should be in the future. We have children protesting about the climate and, as adults, we should join as well. We should have corporations join and the government should take it seriously. It is up to us to keep our planet safe.
