Hi y'all!

We've got Akon Adichol on the podcast today and I am so thrilled for you to hear her story. She is an actor and activist and truly beam of sunshine. She started modeling in 2017 and kept at it during years of constant rejection. She's only been signed since quarantine in 2020 and since has been BUSY. She's shot campaigns, done stunning editorials and was on the cover of ITALIAN VOGUE BABY. Harpers Bazarre recently highlighted in the article, 12 Stunning Black Plus-Size Models You Need to Know. In the article they say, "Akon could technically be categorized as “new” to the modeling industry—not that you could tell from her slew of high-fashion editorials and recent Italian Vogue cover. Her versatility is as impressive as her activism (she’s an ambassador for stand for educational, a global community providing access to education for children living in poverty and conflict-affected areas), and I know that big things are to come from this Sudanese native". Beautiful things are in her future for sure.
