where I come from South Sudan we are very strong and resilient we've been going through War for over four decades and we are still sticking through it and still surviving and still living and still making things so that is in my blood [Applause] [Music] [Applause] we lived in the projects I was just the awkward child tall black where did she come from who is she and I really couldn't express myself because I didn't know how to speak [Music] English when you do become a model doesn't mean you get a contract and then you become rich
and famous and everything is awesome no no no it's hard work and I'm probably one of the only few black women in the [Music] industry I wish I could help all of them but I can't and it hurts my heart to see children you know suffering like this everything that I'm doing connects because if I'm DJing modeling or acting I always have to be doing it for a purpose and connecting it back to the story of where I come from this is why I do this to inspire Refugee kids to inspire anybody who's facing difficulties
and think that they cannot get out of it yes you can you can do it to be strong resilient never give up on myself that's how I made it this far
