This move made her a source of inspiration and a standard of beauty that Black women with natural hair can follow. However, things could have been different.<\/p>\n\n<p>She revealed that she received advice and pleas from her family, friends and colleagues to wear a wig during the competition. She stated that most of the people closest to her kept insisting that she should not compete for Miss Universe with her natural curls.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.africagiant.org\/zozibini-tunzi-receives-prestigious-crown-for-miss-universe\/\">See also: Zozibini Tunzi receives Prestigious crown for Miss Universe 2019<\/a><\/h4>\n\n<p>However, she stood her ground and decided to compete at the pageant without changing her hair as it has been in that state for up to three years now.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>This historic action has helped the natural hair movement make great strides in the world of beauty. It can be said that Tunzi&#8217;s belief in the beauty of her natural curls has produced a lot of positive effects for the Black community as a whole.<\/p>\n\n<p>After she was crowned as the new queen, Tunzi posted an encouraging message for women on her social media page. She wrote, &#8220;Tonight a door was opened and I could not be more grateful to have been the one to have walked through it. May every little girl who witnessed this moment forever believe in the power of her dreams and may they see their faces reflected in mine.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-72473ee2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"72473ee2\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-35d825a9\" data-id=\"35d825a9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72ef10d9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"72ef10d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<p><em>An <\/em><strong><em>Africa<\/em><\/strong><em><strong> Giant<\/strong>\u00a0is someone of African origin with natural abilities to be an expert in their area of specialty.
