Demi-Leigh Tebow recently reminisced about the five years since she was crowned Miss Universe.
She became the second South African after Zozibini Tunzi to be crowned for the pageant. Taking to Instagram, the former Miss Universe called her reign an opportunity of a lifetime.
"Today marks 5 years, half a decade, since I became the second South African to become Miss Universe. What an opportunity of a lifetime. I will forever be grateful to South Africa for trusting me to represent our incredible country on a world stage.
"This win was not just a personal victory, but I hope a victory for every young boy and girl growing up in a small tiny town with a heart full of big dreams. With hard work and a ton of dedication, much is possible."
Demi shared five lessons she has learnt in the five years since she walked the ramp of the Miss Universe stage.
1. "My MU crown was temporary, but the ripple effect of impact you can have is endless."
2. "We all have a platform and the ability to make positive change in the lives of others."
3. "The two hardest things I’ve faced in my life to date (losing my baby sister & surviving an armed hijack) has led me to finding my life’s biggest purpose."
4. "Find a life partner who doesn’t just share your interests but shares your purpose."
5. "Community is everything. I am so grateful for my handful of true friends and the community we have here on social media."
