Ivory Coast – Nina Keita
Originally from Ivory Coast, Nina Keita now lives and works in New York City where she is a regular fixture in New York fashion shows and her face has been featured many times on the billboards at Times Square. Discovered when she was just a young student in France, she is known for holding on to her West African values even though it would have been easy to succumb to the superficiality that was expected from her profession. Although she loved the discoveries that come with travel, she still misses her traditional family and her homeland.
