Ethiopian model/actress/humanitarian Liya Kebede has been chosen as the newest spokesperson for the international cosmetic brand, L’Oreal Paris. The 33 year-old mother of two has appeared on several high-fashion covers and has been nominated as a Goodwill Ambassador for the World Health Organization (WHO), an organization dedicated to the improvement of maternal, neonatal and infant health care:
“It is important for me that I represent a brand that reflects my personality. I’m pleased to play a part in sharing the uniqueness, the charisma, and the incredible stories of women of all origins and from all regions of the world.”[Source]
What you may not know is that she has established the Liya Kebede Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising money for the Durame Hospital in Awassa, Ethiopia. Congratulations to her!
I am soooo happy for her! She has been my favorite model for years and she deserves it!
Nice.
She’s pretty and looks younger than 33.
I was just wondering about Liya. Hadn’t heard anything about her in awhile.
THis is wonderful!
Lala Ali??? She’s attractive, but she does NOT look Ethiopian…Sorry…
her features resemble those of Ethiopian decent. If you do not see it, then you are a fool….Smdh @ SugarPlum and why r you mentioning Laila????
So very happy…someone with natural beauty….In addition, her features resemble those of Ethiopian decent. If you do not see it, then you are a fool….Smdh @ SugarPlum and why r you mentioning Laila????
I ‘m so proud of Liya and all she’s doing, what a great role model.
Good for her, but is she no longer a face for Estee Lauder? She is/was a spokeswomen for them for years, I’d be surprised if she can be the face no major cosmetics brands.
