It’s been half a decade since Africa’s Next top Model premiered on our TV screens. Hosted by Oluchi Onweagba, the show saw an array of hopefuls go through the trials and tribulations of being a real life model. The winner of the one and only season we ever had was Aamito Stacie Lagum who’s star continues to rise in the fashion industry. Lets have a look at the work that earns her the Africa’s Next Top Model status.
She opened for Balenciaga back in 2015:

She is the model behind the MAC Instagram post that caused a racist outrage “because her lips were too big”. She faced a lot of racist comments and criticism but she spoke out defending herself and her features:
