Also, her biography describes her as someone who “has devoted her social media campaign to changing the narrative around gender stereotypes. She is a proud advocate for natural beauty and encourages women to love themselves the way they are.”

When asked why she’s the right choice for the Miss Universe title, she responded “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.

“Tonight a door was opened and I could not be more grateful to have been the one to have walked through it.
