For me, you have to have some kind of modesty.

When I started modeling, it was like, 'Oh, she's too dark,' and I kind of looked at them like, 'You're too daft.'

I feel, in 2015, when we see human beings and children dying to cross the ocean, trying to find safety, something more must be done to help them because refugees are just like me and you.

Don't focus on negative things; focus on the positive, and you will flourish.

When I was a girl, civil war in Sudan forced me to flee my home town of Wau.

My experience as a refugee had made me strong; I could survive anything, even the world of fashion.
