The 23-year-old, who majored in psychology and women’s studies while at Florida State University, took to Twitter after her win to offer words of endorsement l encouragement to girls across the world.

“To that little girl in St. Thomas, Jamaica and all the girls around the world – please believe in yourself. Please know that you are worthy and capable of achieving your dreams. This crown is not mine but yours. You have a PURPOSE,” Singh tweeted.

Singh said that now she wants to focus on making an impact amongst other women.

“I want to make a change that’s sustainable,” she said according to Reuters. “So if we’re talking women… it needs to be something that will make sure that their children and their children’s children have a different value of life.”
