WARIS DIRIE

Waris is a beautiful and courageous supermodel that survived the traditional form of female genital mutilation that kills hundreds of women in Africa every year, she is also actively involved in working with the United nations as their appointed Special Ambassador to help to end this act from continuing. She is a beautiful and powerul woman who is using her fame to speak out or those who cannot speak out for themselves. She is not only a role model but she is a hero. Waris is determined, through campaigns and charities, to make her voice heard to help try and save these children. We support her 100% because she is doing her best to make the world better for future generations of African communities that practice this ritual.
