The Sudanese Model Who Was Asked To Bleach Her Skin For $10,000

"I'm black and I'm proud. I'm black, they can't keep me down."

Nyakim Gatwech is a 24-year-old South Sudanese model. What makes her special? She has been the victim of a crazy amount of cringe-worthy White-racism. The model who has earned the nickname “Queen of the Dark”, because of her skin colour – something that’s more than common in her home country, but clearly isn’t acceptable to White people who think there’s something called “too black” – was asked by an Uber driver if she'd bleach her body for $10,000.
