My names are Khadija Shariff , born and raised in Kenya, Mombasa .Aspiring model . I am a proud Muslim and I love fashion!

I think it’s a great opportunity for people like me . Someone who always thought she was below the global requirements/expectations . Because of the scar on my face and I always felt uncomfortable with how people looked at me . Or if I could be acceptable in the model industry with my scar and hijab .I always wondered .

Because if I can do it . Then it proves people with facial scars can make it to the cover and the runway . Then it proves diversity. That beauty isn’t about perfection .it’s about finding perfection in the imperfect .
