Girl Crush : Liya Kebede

Despite having posed for big names like Balenciaga (…Let’s all just take a moment and hail the Genius that is, Nicholas Ghesquire…), major Fashion Magazines such as Vogue US, This lady is definitely not just another supermodel.

She is one of the highest paid supermodels in the world, an entrepreneur, she is also an Ambassadress to the UN’s WHO for Maternal, Newborn and Child care.

Funny how I only found out about this awesomeness recently.

I watch some of her interviews on Youtube about health care issues concerning pregnant women and mothers in most countries in Africa, and I am pretty sure she didn’t throw any medical terms nor did she rubb in about the economy or political issues, just so she would sound smart, which she could if she wanted to, with her Law degree it can’t be that hard for her to sound smart. She really came across as someone who sincerely cares about the issues and didn’t seem to be doing it for the sake of following in Angelina Jolie’s footsteps.

On top of it all, she is a wife and a mother.
