A good night's sleep is always the best way to wake up and go to work.

When I know I have a huge shoot, I’ll just go into the sauna and steam out my face. Product-wise, I don’t really do much because I sometimes think products make me break out . I just use normal soap and water and moisturizer. My brows are really important to me but I’ve never plucked or waxed them. I’ll just fill them in with Anastasia brow kit.

You learn to be comfortable in your own skin, and your body changes throughout life, so you can't sweat the small stuff.

My taste in music originates from my culture and heritage, and from traveling the world and listening to all kinds of fun sounds and bits.

Five years from now I see myself still working hard to get where I want to be, because I think big.

I don't want to be known as the black model. I want to be recognized as Chanel Iman, a personality.

I have had the privilege of working with the best in the business, from photographers to designers to magazines. There's not much more to ask for but I'm still looking forward to one day working with photographers Mert and Marcus, Tim Walker and Nick Knight.
