Nyakim Gatwech was born with very dark skin. Thanks to this, the girl today is known all over the world. She actively cooperates with the most famous brands and from time to time appears on the covers of magazines.
However, her path to this cannot be called easy, because she had to fight for her position in society.
For example, as a child, Nyakim faced bullying because her peers wouldn’t accept a girl with an unusual appearance. The situation worsened especially when the Gatwech family left Kenya for the United States. There, her skin color stood out even more, and because of that, she was struggling.
It wasn’t until she grew up that Nyakim realized she could use her specialness for good. And model agencies willingly accepted a girl with deep black skin into their world.
At first she took part in fashion shows of young designers, then also began to pose for the camera. For almost 2 years, the model has been building her portfolio, and everything has not been in vain. The best known brands wanted to work with Nyakim.
Now the star devotes all her free time to her career. She is only 28, the unusual beauty has hundreds of contracts on her account, and about a million people follow Nyakim’s life on Instagram.
Gatwech hopes to be an example for other girls who have faced the same issues. She wants to teach them to love each other and use their traits for good.
