Miss South Africa may have taken the crown in last night’s Miss Universe pageant – but everyone on Twitter was talking about another contestant.
Miss Jamaica Davina Bennett thrilled people across Africa and beyond after deciding to take to the stage with natural hair.
Ms Bennett’s afro was praised as inspirational for thousands of little girls – and boys – watching around the world.
Congratulations to our Miss South Africa for winning #MissUniverse. However, I think that the runner up (Miss Jamaica) did an amazing job. She represented her country very well and I am sure there is a little black girl out there with an Afro who knows that she can do it.
She is a queen
