Malaika dropped by ITG - really good interview y'all need to check out!

"I grew up in Kenya until I was 7 before moving to London. I didn't live in the posh end. I lived in the streets—East London. It wasn't chic. I feel like I'm a street girl, which is why I like living in New York, so making that transition wasn't that hard for me. When my mom and I moved, we didn't have any money, so I was really focused on getting my modeling going—I would call my agents, and they would send me $200 just to get by. Usually for one one model it’s fine, but it was for both of us. We used to sing uplifting songs, and even though we were struggling, we laughed a lot—and then things started happening for me. My first modeling job was for charity. I was super nervous and scared, and shortly afterward I walked in a Prada men's show. I was proper nervous because it's friggin' Prada. I didn’t know I would then end up doing the campaign for them and be the second black girl after Naomi Campbell to be in a Prada campaign ever. I was just in shock! I am super grateful for Prada and what they did for me.

In this business you have to keep your head up. Things can't change in a day, but I mean—hey, I feel like it's doing good because I’m in it. Cindy Bruna is in it! Just in Victoria Secret's last show, there were a lot of black girls walking. Every model has struggled at some point, you have to just pick yourself up, be strong, and kick yourself in the *** if you feel like you’re not doing good—because you are."
