Tell us about how you were discovered.<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019ve always thought about being a model, but I didn\u2019t think it was possible because I\u2019ve never been a sample size. Then I saw girls like Paloma Elsesser and Alva Claire. So I just started sending my pictures to different agencies, and eventually I got signed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Most memorable modeling experience so far? <\/strong><br \/>\nI have so many great memories, but I would have to say that running into Anna Wintour at the original British Vogue House the day before they moved, as I was on my way out of the elevator, stands out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One song you have on repeat, and why?<\/strong><br \/>\nL.A. by Brent Faiyaz because it so accurately represents where I am right now in my career and life in general. He talks about being at the beginning of his career and how challenging it is, but it&#8217;s all worth it because he\u2019s building something greater than he\u2019s ever known.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What other passions do you have aside from modeling?<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen I\u2019m not working, I love going to the park, seeing the swans, talking to my family and friends, reading, and walking. I\u2019m a simple girl<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is something you\u2019ve always wanted to do\/try?<\/strong><br \/>\nI would love to do more than just modeling. I look at women like Karlie Kloss with ID Magazine and Christy Turlington with Every Mother Counts. I find these women so inspirational; I love how they use their platforms to make a real impact on the fashion industry and the world in general. I would love to do something like that one day. And maybe some crazy shoot with a tiger or something<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s one thing people may be surprised to find out about you?<\/strong><br \/>\nI think people would be surprised to know that I have a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Biological Anthropology.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What change would you like to see in the world?<\/strong><br \/>\nI would love to see the growth and development of Africa. I feel like Africa has so much potential that isn\u2019t fully recognized. As a young African, I would love to highlight that in any way possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nyakier was photographed exclusively for MODELS.com by Otto Masters, with styling by Ignacio de Tiedra, hair by Linus Johansson &#038; makeup by Yoi Wan.
