Last night, Zozibini Tunzi was crowned Miss Universe. The South African contestant beat out 90 other women in the U.S.-based global pageant, making her the first black woman to win since Leila Lopes in 2011, and one of six black Miss Universe winners since the competition started in 1952. Tunzi’s crowning is notable in and […]
