- THE ANOK YAI DOCUMENTARY.
Anok Yai is a Sudanese-American model who has taken the fashion industry by storm with her striking beauty, unique look, and undeniable talent. Born in Egypt in 1997, Anok grew up in New Hampshire, where she attended Manchester High School West before enrolling at Plymouth State University to study biochemistry.
Despite her academic pursuits, Anok had always been interested in fashion and modeling, and it was during her sophomore year at college that her life took a dramatic turn. While attending Yardfest, a homecoming party at Howard University in Washington, D.C., Anok was scouted by a photographer who was struck by her stunning features and natural charisma. The photographer took a few candid photos of Anok and posted them on Instagram, which quickly went viral and caught the attention of modeling agencies across the world.
Within a matter of days, Anok was contacted by top modeling agencies like Next Model Management, Wilhelmina Models, and Elite Model Management, all of whom were eager to sign her. After much consideration, Anok ultimately decided to sign with Next Model Management, which had a long-standing reputation for discovering and developing some of the most successful models in the industry.
Anok's rise to fame was meteoric. Within a few months of signing with Next, she had landed her first major campaign with Prada, which featured her as the face of their Fall/Winter 2018 collection.
The booking broke history, with Anok becoming the first Sudanese, and second Black woman ever to open a Prada fashion show.
The campaign was a huge success and catapulted Anok into the spotlight, making her one of the most talked-about models of the season.
Since then, Anok has gone on to work with some of the most prestigious brands in the world, including Estée Lauder, Chanel, Dior, Tom Ford, and Valentino. She has graced the pages of magazines like Vogue, Elle, and Harper's Bazaar, and has walked the runway for top designers at fashion weeks in Paris, Milan, London, and New York.
Anok's success as a model is not just due to her stunning looks, but also her unique background and perspective. As a Sudanese-American, Anok brings a fresh perspective to the fashion industry, challenging traditional beauty standards and paving the way for more diverse representation on the runway and in campaigns.
In interviews, Anok has spoken about the importance of representation in the fashion industry and the need for more diversity and inclusivity. She has also been vocal about her experience growing up as a person of color in America and the challenges she has faced as a result of systemic racism.
Despite the challenges, Anok remains dedicated to using her platform to promote change and inspire others. In 2020, she launched the Anok Yai Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering underprivileged youth through education and mentorship programs. The foundation partners with schools and community organizations to provide resources and support to students from marginalized communities, helping them to achieve their full potential and pursue their dreams.
Anok's impact on the fashion industry and beyond cannot be overstated. She has shattered barriers and broken down stereotypes, paving the way for a new generation of models and activists. Her unique perspective and unwavering dedication to promoting change have made her a role model for people all over the world.
In her personal life, Anok is known for her humility and down-to-earth personality. Despite her rapid rise to fame, she remains grounded and committed to her family and community. In interviews, she has spoken about the importance of staying true to oneself and never losing sight of one's values, no matter how successful one becomes.
As she continues to make her mark on the fashion industry, Anok shows no signs of slowing down. With her incredible talent, unique perspective, and unwavering dedication to promoting change, she is poised to become one of the most influential figures of her generation.

Love this so much!!! Do these kind of videos for more models 🫶🏻🫶🏻
…AND WILL. ADUT AKECH BIOR, releasing SOON! 😌
Thank you for watching! I’m so taken aback by the positive reception to this video! Blessed. Thanks. 🥹
Love that you’re highlighting the impact South Sudanese models have had in fashion in the last several years. They have such extraordinary looks - that includes Anok Yai, of course.
Thank you much! 🥹🙌🏿 There really has been a Sudanese takeover as of late-and it’s AMAZING.
Who are some of your favorites?
Sudanese women are the most STUNNING women on Earth.
Yesss! Duckie and Nikki Thot too!
Anok is a ROCKSTAR. She's so self-possessed, driven, laid back and cool! She's of course stunningly beautiful. 😍🔥💥
RIGHT?! Such a chill vibe-truly beautiful, inside and out. 🤎🙌🏿
Anok Yai, is just another example of how models of African descent, can be extremely influential in the world of fashion. There are so many names of the past: I'll name a few, Iman Abdul Majhid, of course everyone knows the one named model, Katoucha Niane r.i.p, one of my favorites ( please look her up, ), Rebecca Ayoko, another favorite,Ana Gethana, another favorite,Sadiya Guheye, absolutely beautiful, Alex Wek, seeing her in person was, like damn she's really pretty like a baby doll come too life, Ubah Hassa, and Amelia Virelli, a model of compelling gravitas,ust too name a few that come to mind. But I would be remiss to not include Mr. Yves Saint Laurent, who hand picked and consistently worked with models of African descent, as was also mentioned by Iman, when she went to castings at Saint Laurent. Good stuff my friend, please continue to post. Cheers!!!🎉
You named some of my faves! Hoping to create a few pieces on them in the future. 🤎
I really love that these kind of videos and content of her are being made while she is still walking runways and working, like we don't need to only cherish models when their careers are over, but we can celebrate them in the meantime, she deserves all the hype, a real proffesional supermodel 💜
This comment. THIS. 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 It pretty much echoes the mission statement for this channel, and BLACK GLOSS as a project:
Frankly, as much as we all love it, this industry will dispose models at such a high rate. I want to make sure there’s history to reference back to, especially when it’s often so scarce. Highlights to reflect on. They deserve.
Especially in context of Black models. Thanks for watching! 🥹🙌🏿
What an incredible story! Definitely right place at the right time, and you can't go wrong being inspired by an icon like Naomi Campbell. Wishing Anok much continued success.
Truly. I'm so glad she went to that concert, lol. ♥
I LOVE how you made this beautiful woman who's already intriguing and mesmerizing......your video brought GREATER DEPTH to her beauty AND her intellect! Your EDITING TOLD A STORY of inspiration, power, complexity and rich Sudanese legacy in the making!... Subscribed!! I'll be DEFINITELY waiting for more!😊💯🎯❤️🥰
🥹😍 THAT WAS THE PLAN! Mission accomplished then! I’m tryna make sure they ALL get their flowers.
What an absolute goddess, from her voice to her speech. From her walk to her eyes, one can sense her spirit. Thank you so much for sharing such an inspiring story!
Ugh, this was touching. Thank you! 🥹😍
@@astonemmm thank YOU! Keep up the great work!
I loved Anok from day 1. Let this video be an eye opening lesson to all the black influencers who love promoting these brands who could less about representing us in the open. 2023 and we’re still having this conversation🤦🏾♀️. Great video new sub🙌🏾❤️
The topic of “how diverse is fashion, really” has been on my mind…
Thank you! And thanks for watching. 🥹🤎
I grew up in the place whe no afropeople, we just never had emigrants from Africa. I lived in Middle Asia, Russia... but i know racism and nationalism (in a bad sense of it). Person can be white, absolutely, like me for example, but armenian, for example, and unpleasant things will be thrown in the face in a flash. I speak absolutely pure russian, beautiful literature russian, but still there are people who might call me unpleasantly just for my exotic name. Even the fact I'm cristian doesn't make sense for such a people))) i guess, that such attitude will exist forever. But of course both sides have to develope culture within oneself, community and nation, and step by step things will get better. This girl is incredible just like any hard worker and person with true dignity and honour. Wish Africa better, prosperous life without war 💖💖💖
🤎🤎🤎🤎
Anok dressed as storm from x-men was perfection. That's when I started following her.
This video was so well made. So often do I watch a UA-cam video about something and afterwards have to google for more photos but you did such a good job of including everything I wanted to see while keeping the editing interesting and not over the top. Subscribing and excited for more videos!
Thank you! 🥹😍🙌🏿 I’m so happy to be forming a community that loves the modeling industry as much as I do!
She's freaking stunning!!!!!
🙌🏿 It’s something in her eyes that does it for me! 😍
@@astonemmm Yes, got that right!!!!
Love this video
Anok is hands down one of the worlds most beautiful humans to walk this earth
Please do more videos like these
STUNNING! And thank you! 🥹😍 More of them coming to the series soon!
Stunning. Both Anok and your production.
DOUBLE WIN. Lol, thank you so much. And thanks for watching! 🥹🙌🏿🙌🏿
Her SKIN is BEAUTIFUL…..❤❤❤
Thank you, Sir, for presenting a black model as intelligent above all else that was a gift and I am grateful.
You’re welcome! Just doing my best to show how multi-faceted, as well as beautiful, young Black women are, especially in an industry that disposes of many once the new crop arrives…
Our beautiful Anok Yai🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸 everytime I see the women from my country on billboards I'm like woooo!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 These modelling agencies would be shocked if they visited South Sudan, the girls all look like supermodels 🤣
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE. Statuesque, brown, and BEAUTIFUL. 😍🙌🏿
I think the honor of opening a show is over emphasized. The average person could care less and would never know. The fact that she was hired by Estee Lauder - now that is amazing....
Valid! While making this, digging into Estee’s history, and with their spokesmodel track record, it’s CERTAINLY amazing… 👀😂
@astonem The American Industry has a shameful record altogether, espc when you consider that ppl of African Origins in the U S are Not exactly a small percentage of the Population💜💜it's been beyond a joke there for a long time🤔💜 - & am not yet convinced they've learned the error of their ways, tbh (I put NOTHING past those jokers - they don't seem to understand how it should work - & there is still No Actual Equality in the U S - & that especially, needs to change, & fast- how do they get away with that kind of thing; in 2023?!🙏💜🇬🇧💜
Yo B it’s Mel I’m proud of you my brother. You should have been doing this like we said yeaaaaaaars ago but you have something special here family.Praying for you and your community to grow. You’ll get to 1000 in about 2-3 months if you keep this up. Phenomenal work my brother love always. 👊 💜

THANK YOU! 😍🥹 I’m hoping to make your stay worthwhile! 🤎
Really fantastic video essay - Anok also has an amazing sense of humour too! ❤
She really does. Her being stressed over the subway rats in that Vogue Diary video still has me screaming. 😂
Your editing is so enjoyable, thank you for making this. ❤
Anok Yai is sublime absolutely exquisite I am so happy for her she definitely was born to be a Model
🥹🤎🙌🏿 She went from admiring supermodels to BECOMING a supermodel. Just perfect.
@@astonemmm it was always her destiny to become a Model just look at her aesthetic she's a work of art
She looks amazing..

And the model future generations will reference back and look up too! So crazy. 🥹😍
@@astonemmm for sure! That walk and especially those editorials im obsessed
He face is something else entirely. Inexplicable. And that walk. It's so her!

I make a lot of costumes and have a desire to learn more about modeling and the fashion industry to have a better understanding of it all.

This interviewer is in love with Anok. 😍
LOL, CORRECT. 🥹😍 I’m actually happy AF my passion for it all translates on camera. And thanks for watching! 🤎
@@astonemmm you have a good eye
@@astonemmm She is a beauty .... her skin color is out of this world....
Do one about Tyson beckford I think he is a underrated model.
Waitttt, this is a great suggestion! I wondered if people would wanna see male models too! Hmm. 😏🤔
Wow.....
What amazing refined features, a natural fashion model. Petite but not small.
She’s one of those who won the “genetic lottery”, lmao. 😍🙌🏿🙌🏿
Loved this! New subscriber ❤
AYE! Tapped in! Thank you for the support and there’s more in store! 👀😍🤎
I remember those photos. That was her???? Woo
SURE WAS! Remember everyone reporting them! Especially the IG Black beauty pages. 😍🙌🏿
If you're going to talk about Black models like this then I'm definitely going to subscribe.
Not gonna lie, at first I was like 😳, but then I was like 🥺🥲😍. Lmao, thank you! And, thanks for watching.
@@astonemmm My pleasure. I need to work on using emojis more often. Sorry about the confusion. :D
@@actionforanimals4862 Don’t apologize! It’s the internet. That was just me reading it in my voice, lmao. 🤎
Wow! 💐🧚🏻♀️👍🏻
🥹🙌🏿 Thank you! And thanks for watching!
south Sudanese people should be the face of Africa gosh they are the most striking stunning people.
Aanok and adut are gorgeous
after looking into fashion more since 1 years i really am disapointed by the beauty aspect of high fashion. There a real lack of care for the models, face and hair. They will stick to the clothes theme, sometimes have unique or qurky makeup, but not a single makeup is made to enhence the model looks. It's well know that black model have no one to take care of their hair, but at this point it's stupid and i really don't get why hair and makeup isn't much more part of the runway. Clothes can look much prettier if they have a complimentary hairstyle. there so much to do, the girls are so pretty, it's waist. and i think this also add to the lack of "iconic" model. as always compare to the 90's, the model had signature style and were styled to match the clothes to perfection, even naomi who had to wear wigs all her career had many different looks, from curly to straight to bang to blond and all during the 90's. I wish we had less collection by years but better crafted with a real flare and soul. that take in account the model feature to creat the most cohesive runway, to have a real vibe you know!
I loved this! I agree to most of this tbh. I DO, however, believe the strength of the model as a household name is on the rise again.
Many agencies set up social media accounts for new faces/models to increase their social presence, because if they can secure enough social media currency along with great work, they can achieve supermodel status.
@@astonemmmThank
Thank you for your video and positive vibe, Yet it is the same story of wearing there clothing.2023 ... Sad for the brand...
🤎🤎🤎
This video was so good I hope your channel gets more recognition
🥹🥹🥹 This comment touched me. Thank you! And thanks for watching, for real! 🤎🙌🏿
Love herr
Me too! Like, went from a college partygoer to supermodel. THAT’S CRAZY. 😂😍🙌🏿
Em minha opinião continente africano pode-se encontrar modelos mais lindas do mundo.
Não tenho dúvidas.
Cada click uma descoberta 📸.
Simplesmente una deusa 👑.
Especialmente no Sudão! 😍😍😍😍
Extraordinary story. Brave. I love the self actualization aspect. So happy for her as the South Sudanese have suffered so much. Such a deserving young woman❤
Heavy on the self-actualization. 🥹
Her eyes! People make up like that now what she got naturally! She should start a make up line, I would buy it!
The “fox” eye! 😂 Tight at the corners. 😍
Very interested in watching this video later...
Just had to comment, after seeing the video cover, that this girl is stunning!
And the video presenter has gorgeous, perfect skin...🍯🍫
*geeks out over someone adding his content to their “watch later” list* 😍😂
Thank you! 🥰
Can you do a video on the Lineisy Montero FW15 Prada afro-hair runway/campaign/exclusive moment? Although the natural hair movement was already a thing, the Lineisy Prada runway hair moment really started a “trend” in fashion that gave natural hair the jump to crossover into mainstream media. The hair diversity on the runways allowed for a less cookie-cutter casting direction which allowed for greater general diversity (and arguably was the catalyst for Anok’s opening). An overlooked majorly impactful Black Prada moment if you ask me!
Thank you for this tidbit! I was aware, but not to this extent. Had to research more into it! 😂 Seems like a VERY intriguing video topic…
I love the beautiful dark skinned women who model.
African models have no competition. Zilch!
South Sudan is the breeding ground for supermodels!
TRULY. Stunning without trying. Just being. Have you heard of Migoa Guol? Watch her. I promise. 😍🙌🏿
@@astonemmm No, she must be a unique beauty
So we have to wait another 20 years for a black person to open a Prada show? 🤔 And these are the brands people go crazy for. No, thank you. I ❤ fashion, but I ❤ my black people more.
🤎🤎🤎 I understand what you’re saying completely. I also think Anok, and other Black people creating space is a upside to us being so many “firsts and seconds”.
There will be generations of little boys and girls that can now look at people like she, as well as others, doing things like this as inspirational. 🤎
side eye to Prada. I will say that when we come through its the extra that shows seemingly effortless. perhaps called natural born talent. thanks for this video, I really enjoyed it.
**bombastic. ***criminal. LMAO. Thank you for watching, and you enjoying the content truly makes it worthwhile. 🙌🏿
Beautiful ❤
🤎🤎🤎
My GOD she is beautiful, me an admirer of persons of color anyway, I’m stunned by her beauty.
The kind of beauty that makes you stare, even though we know it’s rude, but we can’t help it. 😳😍😂
She was born ready 💯🖤🔥💥
LIKE?! Had it from the start. Imagine her in person! 😳😍
Great presentation !
Thank you! 🥹🙌🏿
Did she ever do her pre-medical studies? Beautiful girl.
SO beautiful. She was a sophomore at Plymouth State when she was signed. Modeling took off, and she chose that. She really seems the type to go back afterwards, you know?
@Aston Em it takes 2 years for anatomy and so forth without a break, so yeah, she has to break from modeling, but she could do some anatomy with a tutor.
Beautiful,insightful-enjoyed your approach ( …and have enjoyed Ur runway work)
Thank you! Hoping to bring more content like this too you soon! 🥹🙌🏿
I love your videos…. Definitely subscribing
🥹😍🙌🏿 Welcome to the squad! Get comfy! Lol, thanks for the support.
We've had quite a few South Sudanese Models in the UK & certainly at London Fashion Week, since the 1980s at least💜💜 - & from Western European designers too, Yves St Laurent, Vivienne Westwood, &;various other UK & French/Italian Designers did si right from the start of the 90s💜💜( & YSL et al did in the 1960s - though there seemed to be a gap with other Designers in the 1970s & part of the 80s, espc in the US, as always) What happens in America is very different though! & always has been, unfortunately but Multicultural is very important here, in the UK in all Our Fashion & Beauty Industries🇬🇧💜 (& even ppl like Naomi Campbell who was already a huge star - got a VERY different reception in the U.S 😔😔the first time she was working a lot over there! - & it was a huge shock for her, at first - even though Iman & others had been huge previously!). Personally I think this lady will be huge; she has serious skills is very intelligent + is extremely beautiful. I wish everybody in the U.S would stop calling her a "Black Supermodel" - she's a Supermodel
Versace loves Anok, & even V Westwood before she died said she thought Anok was "amazing" & stunning" & would be one of the next Supermodels. Anok is just brilliant & I fail to understand why "Colour" is mentioned - in the UK, it just isn't really a thing - & the "Segregation" thing in America, where they insist on saying "Black Creatives" or "Black Owned Businesses" (as if Millions of ppl in the UK & Western Europe AND the U S / Rest of the World DON'T already own many v successful Businesses! It's just absurd - & it's going backwards; No rac**m is ok & definitely NO Segregation should ever "be a thing" (espc not when in the U S that completely insane "Jim Crow" rubbish (not that I understand ANY of that) & ppl having "Seperate seats on buses" or goodness knows what else, is something that older African Americans & their children remember & still talk about; the U S should be removing ANY talk of Segregation; NOT promoting it as if, "Oh - you should get these from a "Black Owned Business" - "bc hey - they need the shout-out!" THEY - Do NOT; & are doing v well for themselves without that kind of silliness; my gosh it is SO patronising & ridiculous; enough already. All any of it is - is that the Closer you get to the Equator; the more melanin that Ancestors would have within their person; & often the tighter their wave pattern too (although I myself hv deep copper red hair & green eyes & my wave pattern is v strong; bc I'm Celtic & Very Northern European!) - but, as a general rule. How can a little / or a lot, or middling amounts of melanin, make a person "different?!" Humans are humans Worldwide & not that different inside, wherever their Ancestors were born, that's the only straightforward fact re any of this silliness you see "Across the Pond" - but ofc, IF the U S had Actual Equality for everybody, (espc in Standard Education/Healthcare/Housing/Everything) as we have had here, by Law, since the 1960s; am sure things would make more sense & be better (not that am saying the UK is perfect, but at leady Standard Education/Healthcare/Everything isn't "different" for anybody "None Caucasian" - how DO the U S Government get away with it, in 2023!🙏💜🇬🇧💜
Wow she's so much more than a model
Sure is! 😍😍😍 Beautiful and well rounded.
I never knew that was her from the viral picture! it was everywhere!
Glad I could give insight. That’s her! Turned her into a star.
Anok is living for the 2,000,000 Sudanese that died! They can feel her joy- it is redemption for them. Don’t think for once, God didn’t write her story!! ❤❤❤
This video is so exquisite✨ I love it so much,my dream is to be a model when I’m older
YOU CAN DO AND BE WHOEVER YOU WANT TO BE! 🥹🙌🏿
The narration. Feels like a classic.
It reminds me of E! in the 90s, when it was all about fashion.
Another one of those comments that hits home for me! 🙌🏿 My content’s overall “theme” ties in a lot of that tangible, vintage feeling, fashion era in the mid-late 90s.
I’ll discuss a lot of this later on the channel for sure! 🤎
@AstonEm thank you so much for doing this. ❤❤❤ I learned so much about this stunning woman, who is an inspiration. Please continue to make content like this. Congrats Anok, I wish you every blessing and success! 🙏🏾
THANK YOU! Heavy on the blessings. 🤎 And thank you for watching!
Bravo. This was so incredibly amazing. She is such a talent and bright light. I love her look and seductive walk. She is such a force in the industry. One of my fabs. ❤
🥹🙌🏿 Thank you so much for watching! 🤎
“By the way…ummm…I make…runway collection videos?…i don’t know if anyone…was aware?”. Just the delivery and editing of that section deserves a subscribe 😂🙌 Looking forward to more videos! 🙏

She’s pretty
🤎🤎🤎
This is what we’re supposed to be doing. Instead of complaining about why the non black models are being pushed more, create platforms to talk about them more ourselves….
🥹😍😍😍 YES. This channel was created to fill a void on this platform. And others. You see many other faces, but sparingly Black ones.
I want that changed.
First time seeing your work! Amazing!!!
