War tore my family apart.
From Alek Wek
Whenever I feel I am going through my own 'little' challenging moment, I just think about my mom.
There's one thing we all share: We eat to nurture ourselves, to feel stronger.
Starting modeling in the '90s, it was quite surreal. They were like, 'You're so different! So weird! So bizarre!' And I'm like, 'I'm so normal. What are you talking about?'
I love cooking. I love having friends around.
You've got to make yourself happy. I'm a happy person naturally.
There are tons of black girls modeling, and each one is special.
When I talk, it shouldn't just be black girls listening.
All the exhausting aspects of my job are made worthwhile because I get to experience so many different cultures. It makes you really appreciate the memories.
I grew up in a small town in Sudan. There weren't many cars, so we did things in the countryside near where we lived.
