A YEAR WHERE BLACK BEAUTIES REIGN

To make matters more amazing, this is the first time in their histories that all top beauty pageants, Miss USA, Miss Teen USA, Miss America, Miss Universe, and now, Miss World, crowned black women as their winners.

Just last weekend, Miss South Africa Zozibini Tunzi was named Miss Universe after a stellar performance in the pageant. She is a 26-year-old Public Relations professional and an Anti-Violence Activist born in Tsolo, Eastern Cape, South Africa.

Her inspiring speeches and gorgeous looks led her to the "Power of Unity" crown, which she will be using to raise awareness on her different causes, which include Anti-Violence, Self-Love, and Empowering Women and Children.

It's been a wonderful year for Black women, who now reign in different platforms that would allow them to preach about their causes to a much bigger audience.

Now, they stand loud and proud about their inner and outer beauty, teaching girls and women around the world to embrace themselves for who they are and work towards making their dreams a reality.
