An Uber Driver Told This Woman to Bleach Her Dark Skin, Now She Is A Model Making A Strong Statement

Nyakim Gatwech, the South Sudanese model is teaching people not to be afraid of the dark. She’s taking down the stereotypes of what’s considered beautiful and encouraging more diversity within the fashion industry. In one of her Instagram photos, she captioned, “My chocolate is elegant. So is what I represent… A nation of warriors.”

She has even been deemed “Queen of the Dark” and with that, she says, “Black is bold, black is beautiful, black is gold… Don’t let American standards damage your African soul.” Through her negative experiences, such as an Uber driver telling her to bleach her skin, she has become a strong advocate for people of color and a strong believer in loving yourself, no matter the color of your skin.
