Winfrey posted a message to the new Miss Universe on Twitter congratulating her on her victory, and saying she agreed with Tunzi's answer to the question: "What is the most important thing we should be teaching young girls today?"
βThe most important thing we should be teaching young girls today is leadership," Tunzi replied.
"It's something that has been lacking in young girls and women for a very long time, not because we don't want to [lead], but because of what society has labelled women to be.
"I think we are the most powerful beings [in] the world and that we should be given every opportunity, and that is what we should be teaching these young girls β to take up space. Nothing is as important as taking up space in society and cementing yourself.β
