Tell us about yourself
I waa born in Toronto, Canada but moved frequently. I had the privilege of living in numerous cities, including Chicago and New York City. I currently live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. My modeling career took me by surprise. I actually come from a family of refugees, and I dedicated my life to trying to help and assist others. I became a practicing human rights lawyer with a focus on refugees, victims of domestic violence, and trafficking. I was assisting a refugee who happened to be a prominent fashion designer in Nigeria, who liked my look, said I was very tall, told me I should be a model, and took a couple photos of me. Next thing I know I started building a career, getting cast in runway shows, and landing campaigns.

Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.
Coming from a family of refugees has been a profound journey filled with obstacles that have shaped my path in becoming a human rights lawyer. Despite facing uncertainty, I've embraced these challenges as opportunities to advocate for marginalized communities. Witnessing injustices firsthand has fueled my passion for social justice, driving me to use my privilege and platform to empower those in need. Each hurdle I've overcome has deepened my empathy and strengthened my resolve, reminding me that our past does not define us, but rather, it's how we confront adversity that shapes our future.
What makes you beautiful?
Beauty is not just about physical features or outward appearances—it's about who you are as a person. For me, I try to be kind, compassionate, and authentic.
What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
To anyone struggling with their confidence, know that you are worthy, you are deserving, and you are enough just as you are. Embrace your uniqueness, celebrate your strengths, and remember that true beauty emanates from the depths of your soul. You are a masterpiece in the making—never forget that.
