We Asked:
What are your interests outside of modelling?
“This probably sounds really nerdy but I’m really into history. I’m really into World War One and Two because I’m fascinated with how the past has shaped our future! Last summer I went to Poland and visited concentration camps Auschwitz and Birkenau – it made me so grateful for the sacrifices made by the soldiers so that we can have our freedom today! I am very interested in the Civil Rights movement which I also studied at A-Level. I still watch some of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King’s speeches when I’m feeling down to remind myself that I can overcome anything if I put my mind to it!”
What are your favourite things?
“My world almost revolves around food and makeup. A weird combination but I am obsessed. I can sit for hours watching YouTube makeup tutorials whilst eating endless amounts of chocolate digestives and drinking tea. I eat at least 1 fry up a week – I love a full English breakfast. When I go abroad I always get really disappointed if it’s not on the menu!”
