After her win, in a backstage interview for \"Good Morning America,\" Beachler told ABC News' Lara Spencer, \"I want all the young women of color and girls of color to be able to now stand on my shoulders.\"

\"Because I have stood on so many shoulders of all the women that came before me ... that have fought for me to be here,\" Beachler said. \"That's what this means to me ... now it's my turn to give.\"
