THIS IS YUNG Celebrates Emerging Middle Eastern and African Talents

 

 

Being YUNG and being in the Middle East: It’s just me doing what I want, when I want, and really liberating myself. – Activist and model, Deba Hekmat.

 

 

 

Being YUNG and being a woman makes me feel really powerful because I think every woman is a magical being. – Model, Juliette Mesterom.

 

 

My birthplace does have a very special place for me. And that’s where I think my roots are. What I love most about being YUNG is getting to experience new things all the time and just having so many firsts at my fingertips. – Multi-disciplinary creative, Taiba Al-Nassar.

 

 

I don’t think one’s birthplace defines one’s roots. I think heritage and tradition maybe do more so. Skateboarder and model, Ali.

 

 

Umm, I think my cheekbones made me fall in love with myself. I started loving my cheekbones when I started modelling. – Model, Gift Nyakuta.
