Meet Khoudia Diop. She’s a 19-year old model from Senegal that was once bullied about her skin color. The ‘Melanin Goddess’ started modeling when she was 17 and by the age of 19, she gained worldwide fame and she became a star on Instagram with more than 235.000 followers.
“I was teased a lot growing up, because of my skin tone. And now even online sometimes, people will make comments. Growing up, I faced it by confronting the bullies. As I grew, I learned to love myself more every day, and not pay attention to the negative people. If you’re lucky enough to be different, don’t ever change,” said Khoudia.
