LIYA KEBE IS A SUPERMODEL MOM
-Liya is pictured with daughter Raee-
Liya Kebede is a “Super-model” mom in every sense of the word. In an interview with Hamptons magazine last month, the mom of two(Liya has a daughter Raee,3, and son Suhul,8), shows us why she has been dubbed a “Supermodel mom”.
Here are a few highlights from her interview with Hamptons magazine, in which Liya talked about her philanthropic efforts and her clothing line LemLem, inspired by her daughter Raee:
On her inspiration behind her clothing line:
” If I weren’t a model I wouldn’t have done it. As a model, I learned so much about clothes and the making of a garment. I’m from Ethiopia, and on one of our trips we visited local weavers working in poor conditions who didn’t have a market for their products anymore. I was in a position to try to give them jobs, keep their art alive and also bring the sensibility of a unique garment to the West. That’s the whole picture of how Lemlem was created. I started with children’s clothes because I love shopping for my children. It also gives kids here something beautiful that was made in Africa.”
On her goals for your foundation:
We try to help mothers get basic health care during pregnancy and delivery. Every minute a woman dies during pregnancy or childbirth, often from things that are completely treatable or preventable. In five years I want the whole world to know about this issue. We want maternal health to be a priority. I would love for Mother’s Day to become a celebration of mothers around the world—a day not just for your mom, but to remember others and to help save a mother in another part of the world.

@kiki:
kinky is offensive, just as nappy is.
Pls stop.

“Kinky” isn’t an offensive term IMO. It’s a hair type just like straight or curly hair. http://www.naturallycurly.com/hair-types
Of course the word can be used out of context but Kiki didn’t do that. She used the word for it’s true meaning.

Also, Liya is a runway model. But a supermodel?
Dont ‘supermodels’ have that title bc they have notoriety from endorsements like soda, general clothes ( not the overpriced ny/london/milna/paris clothes), swimsuits, etc?
I ask bc many say Heidi isnt a supermodel bc she didnt work fashion runways, she did Vic Secret, jordache, sports illustrated, etc. So while Liya IS a runway model, what has she endorsed?

@lilkunta and just FYI,
Liya IS a Supermodel, and she has been my favorite for some time now.
She was the first black model endorsed by Estee Lauder and J. Crew. She can also be seen representing H&M, Gap, and Tiffany & Co.
