It is no longer enough to meet the standards to become a model; many designers are looking for distinctive girls with their own “zest.” As a result, Nyakim Gatvech became well-known for both her figure and her dark skin.

People around her refer to her as the “Queen of Darkness,” and she is frequently mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records as having the darkest skin. Nyakim, on the other hand, does not need these documents because she has learnt to love herself for who she is and has chosen not to prove anything to anyone.

The model has her own page on Instagram and at the moment she already has more than 800 thousand subscribers who love her very much and always admire her unusual appearance.

Nyakim’s parents are from South Sudan, but the girl was born in Ethiopia, where her family moved during the civil war. They spent time in a Kenyan refugee camp before flying to the United States. Nyakim was 14 years old at the time of the incident.

But the youngster was so unusual from the other kids that she had to endure continual mockery in her address. “You’re so black, go take a shower,” she was frequently told. Nyakim became so fed up with all of this that she decided to have a skin whitening surgery. Thank God, her sister talked her out of it, telling her that the most delightful sensation in the world is to be yourself while also feeling comfortable.

“An Uber driver once asked me, “No offense, but would you lighten your skin if you were given $10,000 for it?”. I laughed so hard. He asked if it meant no, and I replied that of course, it meant no. Why should I lighten the skin that the Lord has blessed me with?”

After Nyakim fell in love and accepted herself, her skin immediately became her key.

She has become a model and works with brands such as Calvin Klein, L’Oréal, Fashion Nova, Cosmopolitan and many others.
