Ugbad Abdi: 'In 2020, I'm leaving the pressure people put on me behind' Rihanna quizzes the Somali-American model, who's been dubbed the breakout face of the season for Rihannazine:
, I’m 19 years old. I’m a model. I’m from Somalia but I’ve lived in Iowa from the age of nine until now.Before Iowa, I was living in a refugee camp in Kenya, because Somalia wasn’t safe during the war. I lived there for almost a decade, and then we came to Iowa in the middle of winter and it was incredibly cold. But people were really nice and we were really excited about it, because it was America. It was a different world, but my parents also left everything behind to get there.
Putting my foot down and not compromising for anyone in a job, or in my career. The thing that motivates me now is the idea that the next generation of models won’t have to face the same challenges.. It was so magical and iconic. Celine Dion was in the audience and she was bawling her eyes out!year, and what are you leaving behind in 2019?
I’m definitely leaving behind people’s expectations and the pressure they put on me. People expect me to never make mistakes and to be a perfect representative for the community, and that’s never really the case. But I try to do the best I can, and keep doing my thing.I’d ask: What is the legacy you want to leave behind? What is the message you want to be remembered for?I mean, she does so many great things. She’s an icon. She does a lot of charity work as well, and I think she’s so good for young girls to look up to, be inspired to do whatever they put their minds to.
