It's great to finally hear the articulate, thoughtful, self-assured voice that humanises the robot that is the fashion model. Alek, your Essence cover is the best; you look like a doll! Breathtakingly beautiful! I commend you on representing yourself and Africa with dignity and pride. I'll definitely buy your book. Stay blessed.
