Couldn’t be any happier in this very moment, I’m so thrilled to be sharing with the world my very first ever vogue cover for @vogueitalia April 2018 Issue wearing @chanelofficial shot by the incredible beings @mertalas and @macpiggott
This cover means so much to me for many reasons. One of them being that I’m just a South Sudanese refugee girl who didn’t come from much, who only dreamt and hoped with no expectations of things like this actually ever happening.
This was only ever a dream for me, but never in a million years did I ever think I’d be on the front cover of a vogue magazine, but look I’m on the front cover of Italian Vogue!!! Another proud project that not only allows me to represent for south Sudanese people but also other individuals of colour all around the world.
Mama is going to be one proud mother knowing that her baby girl now has 2 vogue covers!!! ☺️
Thank you so much @gb65 @samuel_ellis @pg_dmcasting and everyone else involved for believing in me!! ❤️
