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.

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.

When countries commit to protecting vulnerable lives, they should receive support from those who can provide it in order to make their programs a success.

I want to do action, romantic comedy, and I love drama.

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

I want to spend as much time as possible with my children, so I always like to keep my beauty and fashion routines effortless... but still chic!

Doing designs on a loom takes a lot of talent and experience, and, trust me, I won't be able to do that.
