Nyakim Gatwech: The Queen of Dark
Nyakim Gatwech, born to South Sudanese parents and raised in refugee camps before moving to the U.S., has turned hardship into power. Known as the “Queen of Dark,” she’s not just a model but a symbol of self-love and representation.
Her striking presence in campaigns for brands like L’Oréal and Calvin Klein challenged outdated beauty standards, while her social media celebrates melanin, confidence, and African pride. With grace and boldness, Nyakim uses her platform to educate, inspire, and remind the world that true beauty is found in authenticity.
She isn’t just redefining beauty—she’s proving it comes in every shade.
