Iman on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos

Iman was a university student in Nairobi when she was discovered by a photographer. She agreed to be photographed, and, a few months later - Iman agreed to move to New York. Almost instantly, she was a star. Walking the runways and doing magazine cover shots - becoming the first African on the cover of Vogue. Since then, Iman has created 'Iman Cosmetics,' for women of colour. And she's become a global ambassador for 'Keep A Child Alive' - an African AIDS charity. Last season, she appeared on 'Project Runway.' This season, she's hosting 'Project Runway Canada.'

@bakeezawzaghlool She's a brilliant university educated woman from privileged roots, I doubt she would still be suffering.

If she was a regular woman , she could have been still suffering in Kenya . SHe was just a " new thing" in fashion society and that's why she became popular .

People who keep saying she fought to make her way , blah , when the media wants to make someone a star they would make them a star as no one could imagine .. Oprah , Lady gaga, Justin Bieber and this Iman , they aren't exceptionally talented ... it's mere luck and lots of commercialization

She has got possibly one of the most beautiful accents I've ever heard. She's poised and carries herself like a woman and she is beautiful. Every woman should strive to be like her.
