The most delightful feeling in the world is to be oneself and, at the same time, feel comfortable because every person is unique and beautiful in their own way. The story of this girl has inspired us, and at slonn.me, we decided to share it with you.
Nyakim was born in Ethiopia, and her family moved to a refugee camp in Kenya before flying to the United States. At school, she was constantly bullied because of her unusual skin color. Peers told her, “You’re so black, go take a shower.” At one point, the girl was so tired of all the jokes and teasing that she even contemplated skin bleaching. However, she was dissuaded by her sister, who proved to Nyakim that she was special and very beautiful.
Over time, the girl not only learned to accept herself as she is but also turned her dark skin into a feature that helped her become a model.
She has 806,000 followers on her Instagram page who simply adore her. Nyakim Gatwech has collaborated with brands like Calvin Klein,
L’Oréal, Fashion Nova, Cosmopolitan, and more. She has proven to everyone that self-love is essential and has become an example for many.
