In her memoir, ”Alek: From Sudanese Refugee to International Supermodel,” Alek recounts her journey from a young naive girl discovered on the streets of London to her rise as an internationally adored supermodel. Known for her striking beauty, bold look and unwavering confidence, Alek has graced the covers and pages of the most noted fashion magazines, walked dozens of top runways, and modeled for the most celebrated designers. Yet she remains thankful for all the experiences she has been blessed with.
In her journey, Alek Wek has redefined the definition of beauty and encourages women from across the globe to follow their own destiny. “You can’t really accomodate everybody, but you can love what you do,” she explains. And though already an accomplished model, she is also a visual artist and budding entrepreneur with her own handbag line, Wek 1933, proving that you can have both brains and beauty.
