I love it because it&#8217;s not only heartwarming and touching, but also addresses important topics like feminism, self-discovery, and the courage to be different. I also watched it often with my mom as a child, which was always a little highlight for me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 .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: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 .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-5' class='gallery galleryid-74743 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><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\/2025\/09\/mdcselects_pinijames02.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Pini James\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-5\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2025\/09\/mdcselects_pinijames02.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-5-74773\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-5-74773'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Pini James\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><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\/2025\/09\/mdcselects_pinijames03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Pini James\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-5\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2025\/09\/mdcselects_pinijames03.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-5-74772\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-5-74772'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Pini James\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><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\/2025\/09\/mdcselects_pinijames01.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Pini James\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-5\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2025\/09\/mdcselects_pinijames01.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-5-74774\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-5-74774'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Pini James\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"name-title\">Pini<\/div>\n<div class=\"writeup\">\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\nPini James \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/pini.james\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@pini.james<\/a> \u2014 Canadian from South Sudan \u2014 born October 2nd \u2014 180 cm \/ 5&#8217;11&#8221; \u2014 she\/her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\nSTRAY Model Management (mother agency), <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/cover-management\">COVER MANAGEMENT (Paris)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 An issue or cause you are passionate about:<\/strong><br \/>\nMental health is something I&#8217;m deeply passionate about.

Adjusting to life in Germany wasn&#8217;t easy \u2014 I didn&#8217;t speak the language, and I remember being laughed at in school when I tried to speak German. But instead of letting that discourage me, it motivated me to work even harder. Still, I&#8217;m very proud of where I come from, and my background is a big part of who I am. I love going back to Eritrea every few years, it reminds me of my childhood, my roots, and the values I grew up with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 How did you become a model?<\/strong><br \/>\nEver since I was little, people have told me that I should become a model one day. When I was 13, I was scouted for the first time while I was in Amsterdam. But at that time, I didn&#8217;t feel ready for it, so I turned it down \u2014 and I continued to say no to similar opportunities for a while. As I got older, I started to enjoy taking pictures and being in front of the camera more and more. Eventually, I decided to give it a try. I applied to my agency myself, and that&#8217;s how it all started.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What&#8217;s an essential part of your daily routine?<\/strong><br \/>\nMusic is a big part of my daily routine; I listen to it almost every moment I&#8217;m alone. Whether I&#8217;m getting ready, cooking, or just taking some time for myself, there&#8217;s always music playing in the background. When I&#8217;m upset or stressed, it helps me calm down and refocus. Depending on my mood, I switch between genres, but most of the time I need something with a lot of energy to keep me going.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anna Who: Anna Spielmann \u2014 German from Palma, Mallorca, Spain \u2014 born October 29th \u2014 178 cm \/ 5&#8217;10&#8221; \u2014 she\/her.
