¿QUIÉN SOY?

I'm Abdellah but everyone can call me as well Abdel. I'm 27 years old and dreams since I was a teenager to become a model. But every time I applied to an agency they told me I'm too short to become a model. Now with this, I get an opportunity to show the model industry that they are wrong and have to see all the differences in this world. Besides this, I wanna be a role model for a lot of Muslim gay people to show them to not be afraid of who they are. Being religious and gay is not a sin. I Lived not that long with my family because when they found out that I'm gay they banded me for the whole family. A real hard time but I kept fighting for my dreams. And now becoming a real model in the industry to show diversity is one of them.


¿ QUÉ PIENSO SOBRA LA SERIE DE TV THE FASHION HERO?

It's a great opportunity for thousands of people around the world to achieve their dreams to become a model. Not many people get the chance to do it or to become one. This show shows a different part of what real diversity is, and that everyone can become a model if they fight for it. No matter where you come from everyone deserves the changes to present themselves in real life to the agency.


¿POR QUÉ SERÍA YO UN GRAN MODELO PARA ESTA GENERACIÓN E INSPIRARÍA A LAS PERSONAS COMO LA NUEVA CARA DEL THE FASHION HERO?

As a Muslim gay man, I was banded out of my family at the age of 18 years. Struggled a lot in my younger years but never did I give up on my dreams. I achieved a lot of things already. But being a model can show the world that being Muslim and gay is manageable. There are thousands of young Muslim gay people who are afraid to be themself. It's time to make a change so that they deserve also a happy life where they can be free. Being the face of a fashion hero and becoming a real model gives me the chance to share my story and inspire more people who needed it.
