Queen of Dark! This model is breaking the Internet

Who says beauty has got anything to do with complexion. Meet Nyakim Gatwech, an international model who has defied all the beauty rules with her distinctive dark complexion.

The 24-year-old is a South-Sudanese model and is popularly called the Queen of Dark. In the times where people still go after skin brightening and lightening creams, she embraces her complexion with utmost confidence.

Nyakim is not only beautiful but bold too. She recently took to Instagram to share her conversation with an Uber driver who asked her if she would like to bleach her skin. Here it goes...

I was (asked by) my Uber driver the other day, he said, 'Don't take this offensive but if you were given 10 thousand dollars would you bleach your skin for that amount?' She simply laughed at his question.

(Then) he said, 'So that a no' and I was like hell to the f*king yeah [that's] no, why on earth would I ever bleach this beautiful melanin God (blessed) me with,' she added. '(Then) he said so you look at it as a blessing?'

'You won't believe the kind of questions I get and the kind of looks I get for having this skin.'

Unfortunately, this is not the first time that she has been ridiculed for her charcoal-black complexion, and she admits being bullied for it while growing up. But this international model stayed undeterred, and decided to educate and encourage others to love the skin tone they have been blessed with.

Nyakim lives in the US now, and shares a beautiful message of skin positivity with the world.
