The Dubai resident embraced her skin condition years ago, choosing to make a difference with her voice on the global stage.

“It was in 2017 that I first revealed my skin without makeup in a before-and-after picture,” she told Khaleej Times in an earlier interview. “It was during a workshop, where the model could not make it, and I had to fill in pretty much at the last minute. The picture began trending and people did not care about the makeup look. They commented how brave I was to take this step so fearlessly.”

Today, the influencer has grown her social media presence – she has on Instagram alone 1.8 million followers – and upon winning the crown had this to say: “Being a public figure on social media wasn’t in my plans, but when I was a make up artist, and I decided to share my picture without makeup and show my bare face on social media, this is when I started getting more followers.
