I vowed to myself when I got married that I would cook every night. I find it very therapeutic.
From Iman
As I always said: I fell in with David Jones. I did not fall in love with David Bowie.
Bowie is just a persona. He's a singer, an entertainer. David Jones is a man I met.
People called me 'Iman the black model'. In my country, we're all black, so nobody called somebody else black. It was foreign to my ears.
I wasn't a major in political science for nothing, so I understood the politics of beauty and the politics of race when it comes to the fashion industry.
My mother was an activist; so was my father. They came from a generation of young Somalis who were actively involved in getting independence for Somalia in 1960.
When my daughter Zulekha was born, I was at the pinnacle of my working life as a model, and I pulled myself in two trying to cope with being both a mother and a career girl.
I'm lucky in some ways in that I really don't need more than five or so hours of sleep.
Mrs. Obama is not a great beauty. But she is so interesting-looking - so bright. That will always take you farther.
I was born in Somalia, which is in East Africa. My parents started with nothing: poor, poor, poor. They eloped, which was unheard of in my country, when my father was 17 and my mother was 14.
