Angolan model Maria Borges has become the second African to grace the cover of Elle magazine, exactly 20 years after Sudanese model Alek Wek.
Borges, 24, is a rising star, and has been celebrated for wearing her natural hair at the acclaimed Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
She became the face of L’Oreal Paris in February and has been dubbed as one of the African models breaking barriers.
She told CNN in a recent interview that she is living her dream:
“The empowering message that a girl who started from the bottom can be an international beauty symbol and be living proof that our dreams are valid, and the future ahead of us is bright.”
