i’m on the cover of DAZED Magazine.

this is quite literally the peak of my entire modelling career. 6 years into a craft that i feel like i’m beginning to master, there’s no higher honour than gracing the global cover of the greatest pop culture publication on the planet. i’m endlessly grateful for every well wish, every mistake and every interaction that’s led to this moment. to black girls, to the queer community, to anyone who’s been told to shrink themselves because they’re different - WE WON!

this is only the beginning. ♥️

I’m honoured for 2 reasons : 1. To have witnessed the masterpiece and history that was Scorpion Kings Live and 2. To have been welcomed to enjoy A BURGER WITH ATCHAR by RocoMamas. This isn’t a day I will soon forget. We were served good food and good performances - an all-rounded experience fit for a (Scorpion) King!

The MADUMANE Double and PAPTA Sting are still available for a limited time only and you, too, can get to relive the fire and flavour from Scorpion Kings Live.
