First things first, how did you get your start into the fashion world as a model?

I started modeling back in my home town Yirol (South Sudan) in 2020 with a beauty pageant contest and I was crowned the winner of Mr Yirol 2020-2021. During that time I moved to Juba city of South Sudan and started competing in pageantry along with local runway shows. At that moment I got scouted by Saya Model Management (mother Agency) on Facebook, I was so excited to extend my modeling career internationally and here I am now being represented by the most prestigious modeling agencies in the world, also as one of the faces on The Greatest Magazine!

Coffee or tea?

I actually don’t drink either of them.

Jeans.

What’s your on-the-go snack or meal when running to modeling appointments or runway shows?

Fruit


Describe your daily uniform.

I’d describe my daily uniform as just simple casual wear like jeans, dress pants, and T-shirts along with loafers and sports shoes.

Are you an active, sports person?

I’m not a very active sportsperson. However, I play basketball and dance in my free time.

What’s your favourite song?

My favourite song is ‘Man in the Mirror’ by Michael Jackson. It motivates and encourages me every day to help and take care of others.
