Newly crowned Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters appeared as a guest on Live! with Kelly and Ryan.

The 22-year-old told hosts Kelly Rippa and Ryan Seacrest about being hijacked and held at gunpoint. 

After winning Miss South, Nel-Peters started a self-defense campaign called Unbreakable. The campaign is all about equipping women with knowledge and skills to empower themselves so they can avoid a similar situation.

This is about saying NO to someone else making decisions for you. Being #Unbreakable is a CHOICE. #WomanInpowered #wip #MissSAUnbreakable #misssouthafrica2017 #unbreakableDLNP #DLNP #WomanPower #GirlPower
