She has also done numerous fashion shows for Baby Phat, Sean Jean, and Roca Wear, and commercials for companies such as DTLR. Her ultimate endeavor is to bring Africa to the forefront through Africa in Demand a talk show on the internet (for right now) for which she is one of the hosts. She says “As an African woman, it is my passion and duty to help educate the world on Africa, the continent, and the diverse people and cultures encompassed in this vast continent. Being raised in America as a daughter of a political exile has opened my mind to the ignorance that the American society are faced with when it comes to the struggles, success, and development of Africa. My ultimate goal through Africa in Demand is to educate those who are uneducated. I have my eye set on conquering the world and accomplishing my dreams while helping those that need help the most.”
