Sudanese beauty, Ajak Deng, is in high demand, but most recently was seen modeling for the Alexander Wang Resort 2012 collection. Not only is the young model a true African beauty, but she is humble and focused as well. She stumbled into modeling by accident when she was sixteen and her manager while she was working at a McDonald’s pushed her to try it, and since then has been called upon by big names in fashion such as Chloe, Lanvin, Gucci, Marc Jacobs, and many more. The thing that makes this young model truly admirable is that she is not wasting her fame and income like so many before her have, but instead is using it to provide for her seven siblings, which she has been solely responsible for since the age of sixteen.
