Nyakim Gatwech, 24, from South Sudan posts on Instagram beautiful pictures of her as a model. She writes powerful stories to the pictures about her dark skin and hoping to inspire people around the world.
She is not just a model, Nyakim calls to celebrate diversity. She speaks not just for herself but for those who don’t have a voice, especially black women: ” I represent you and let show the world how beautiful and intelligent we are apart from just being dark skin, because we are more than what this Society think of our dark skin let stand up for those who can’t. Let’s speak up those who can’t. And stay beautiful while doing it❤️❤️ “.
She was also named Queen of the Dark on the Internet: “So my new nickname is Queen of the Dark and I love it I’m so thankful and grateful to all the amazing people showing me love and support and writing such powerful articles about me.. we are all beautiful in whatever shade of skin color God create us in. So why should the be dark bad? Embrace and love who you are and world would as well!!”
Her photos speak volumes. From bikini shoots to bohemian dresses, the pictures are all powerful. “That look you give them when they try to tell you that you are pretty for black girl.. like please.. black girls are everything black itself is everything is not the color or sadness or death black is the colors or brave, strong black is the color of me”
