KAMPALA | LIFESTYLE UGANDA — In an interview with ELLE Magazine, supermodel Adut Akech discusses her childhood as a South Sudanese refugee, the bullying and racism she experienced after migrating to Australia as a child.

Akech also spoke with the publication about what being designated as an Estée Lauder global brand ambassador means to her and how her modelling work is key to helping create a world where people like her won’t be judged for their worth.

In her own words, Akech said, “I never, ever, in my wildest dreams, thought I would have achieved half of what I have now.”.

”This is for my little sisters, for Black girls all over the world, for refugees. I am doing it for the communities who aren’t seen or heard and that’s my responsibility,” she added.

”I do this for my little sisters, I do it for Black girls all around the world, I do it for refugees, I do it for people who are not seen or heard. That is my responsibility,” she added.

Model Adut Akech appeared in the ELLE magazine feature styled by Alex White, and for the cover, she wore a black dress from Prada’s 2017 Fall/Winter collection.
