“My time in Kakuma was a good time. We didn’t know anything else, other than that time.We just lived there trying to make the best of every day. I always say it was a thing of not really knowing or being certain we’re going to make it to the next day. We just knew that we had to live each day as it came.”

“Do you remember my favorite tutu dress that I wanted to wear every single day? And I did wear it every day that I could. Every now and then we’d have a little scare, and then we’d go back to living life with our cousins. We made soccer balls out of rubber bands that we just kept tying together. We didn’t know that there was another life other than that.”

“You’re my mentor. You’re my protector. You’re my provider. I know I can always ask you for anything I need. You’re my life teacher, you’re like a second mom to me, you know?”

“Before I was anything I was South Sudanese. Before I became a model or got to where I am now in my life, my career, my status, I was a South Sudanese woman, a refugee, an immigrant. And I’m proud. I’m proud of the journey that we’ve been on. It’s what’s led us to where we are today, it’s what’s made us who we are today.”

“Where I feel the most at home is where I am around my loved ones. When I’m around my family, my friends. Home is the feeling of being loved, feeling welcomed, feeling like you’re in a safe space where you can be yourself 100 percent, and that you are not judged. That you are loved, you are cared for, you are appreciated, you are wanted. And that’s what I get from being with my family and my closest friends. Even people I work with that I have close relationships with. But what about you?”
