I actually started modeling in Ethiopia, because that's where I grew up, and I started out by just doing little fashion shows for school, and I liked it so much that I started pursuing it.

I think, first of all, every time you want to play somebody who is real is always challenging and always scary, because you are given a responsibility of someone's real life.

One thing modeling taught me is that the spotlight can change everything.

The most inspiring piece of advice I've gotten is simply to persevere. My mom taught me to always keep going no matter what from an early age. When it feels too difficult to push forward, I always remind myself, 'This too shall pass,' and then I redouble my efforts.

Helping others isn't a chore; it is one of the greatest gifts there is.

For my wardrobe, I like to invest in classic pieces and pair them with more trendy new pieces and accessories each season.
