“My story began in the shadows of war. At five years old, I was separated from my family during the brutal civil conflicts in Sudan and Ethiopia. I became a child refugee, navigating six regions, surviving displacement, violence, illness, and heartbreak. From refugee camps to classrooms, women’s shelters to fashion runways, I carried pain—but also quiet strength.”
