Being able to feel comfortable in your own skin and stepping out into the world with confidence should be a priority. For me, it\u2019s something I\u2019ve struggled with in past years, but I\u2019ve learned to love the woman I have become. Taking time every day just to be grateful and be positive about what I have accomplished and what is yet to come in my life helps a lot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What are three interesting facts about you?<\/strong><br \/>\n1. I am a violinist &#8211; I started playing when I was 9 years old and haven\u2019t stopped since.

I wasn\u2019t 18 yet so they didn\u2019t want to sign me so about six months went by and I decided I was going to take digitals and start submitting to agencies. I found my mother agency Tribe Talent within a few weeks of submitting. Then after a few months, I got a call from Next Models and they wanted to sign me too. I was incredibly shocked and I thought it was fake so I immediately looked up the phone number and, sure enough, it was real and here I am.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 One thing people may be surprised to find out about you: <\/strong><br \/>\nPeople are always very surprised when they find out the only food I eat is breaded chicken and it\u2019s the only food I&#8217;ve ever eaten. I\u2019ve never tried pizza, burgers or anything besides chicken. It\u2019s not very healthy but it\u2019s something to do with me mentally, I&#8217;m basically scared to try new foods.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What are three interesting facts about you?<\/strong><br \/>\n1. I love to go thrifting, especially Goodwill bins because it\u2019s almost like a treasure hunt. I search the piles and piles of clothes and the feeling when I find a crazy piece is the best. I also have a clothing brand called trashedgarments and we sell clothes we find there and we re-work them to make our own pieces.<br \/>\n2. My great-grandma taught me to sew this year so I&#8217;ve been sewing a lot lately and it\u2019s become one of my favorite things to do. I\u2019ve started with simple things like making split tees and cutting and sewing pants together. But now I\u2019m teaching myself how to sew clothes from scratch.<br \/>\n3. I\u2019m right-handed at everything besides basketball. I don&#8217;t know why but I can\u2019t do anything else left-handed so I\u2019ve always found it odd that I can\u2019t shoot basketballs with my right hand.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span class=\"modelname\">Joseph<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-68236 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/mdcselects_josephchima01.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Joseph Chima\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-3\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/mdcselects_josephchima01-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-68248\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-68248'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Joseph Chima\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/mdcselects_josephchima02.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Joseph Chima\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-3\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/mdcselects_josephchima02-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-68247\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-68247'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Joseph Chima\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/mdcselects_josephchima03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Joseph Chima\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-3\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/mdcselects_josephchima03-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-68246\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-68246'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Joseph Chima\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\nJoseph Chima (<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/josephchima_\">@josephchima_<\/a>) \u2014 194 cm \/ 6&#8217;3.5&#8243; \u2014 Nigerian from Lagos, Nigeria \u2014 born October 10th \u2014 he\/him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\nMyBooker (Lagos &#8211; mother agency), <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/PRM-Agency\">PRM Agency (London)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 An issue or cause you are passionate about:<\/strong><br \/>\nIn Lagos I used to volunteer at a local non-profit food bank, focusing on reducing food waste, urban farming and helping feed schools.

My parents, siblings, and even grandparents. No matter how I dressed, how I did my makeup, or what hairstyle I had they never made me feel bad about my choices. In Poland meat is a huge part of our cuisine. When I told everyone that I was going to stop eating meat they accepted my decision and learned a lot of recipes for me. I am never ashamed to let someone meet my family. They support me with everything and I know that no matter what I can always count on them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What are three interesting facts about you?<\/strong><br \/>\n1. I\u2019m an artistic person. My favorite things are painting, drawing, sculpting, and sewing (I even made a little collection out of second-hand materials).<br \/>\n2, I love learning new stuff. Often while having a conversation people ask me, &#8220;but how come you know this?\u201d or &#8220;how do you have so much knowledge on this topic?\u201d and most of the time my answer is &#8220;I honestly have no clue!\u201d.<br \/>\n3. I don\u2019t remember the last time that I bought something in a fast fashion shop (like H&amp;M, Bershka, Zara, etc). I am super against it and I only buy things in thrift shops or on platforms that allow people to sell clothes (like Vinted).<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 How did you become a model?<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen I was in my first year of high school my girlfriends kept telling me that I should be a model, so I took some polaroids and sent a lot of emails to different agencies. Unfortunately, the one I ended up with had a really bad influence on my mental health so I had to quit. Then in my last year of high school before my final exams, I had a 2007 Britney &#8220;moment&#8221; and shaved my head in my bathroom. Not long after, I got scouted on Instagram and had a few meetings with different agencies but then I decided to sign with the agency that I am with to this day.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span class=\"modelname\">Mary<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-6 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-6 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-6 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-6 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-6' class='gallery galleryid-68236 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/mdcselects_maryanok01.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Mary Anok\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-6\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/mdcselects_maryanok01-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-68257\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-68257'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Mary Anok\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/mdcselects_maryanok02.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Mary Anok\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-6\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/mdcselects_maryanok02-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-68256\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-68256'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Mary Anok\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/mdcselects_maryanok03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-6\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/09\/mdcselects_maryanok03-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\nMary Anok (<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/\">@<\/a>) \u2014 180 cm \/ 5&#8217;11&#8221; \u2014 South Sudanese from Gongrial, South Sudan \u2014 born May 5th \u2014 she\/her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\nFeW Models Africa (Lagos &#8211; mother agency)<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What\u2019s a story your family\/friends like to tell about you?<\/strong><br \/>\nThey like telling others how courageous I am and how I am full of surprises.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 How did you become a model?<\/strong><br \/>\nI have always heard about people modeling and doing fashion and all, so when I moved to the refugee camp in Kakuma, I began to listen to people and put my ear out for modeling opportunities.
