      @Lady M First off learn how to write with proper grammar before you try to talk about someone's skintone. I hope one day you are properly educated. And secondly it dosnt matter who she chooses to be with and even if her children did look like her what's wrong with that? It's people like you who limit the world from progressing on colorism and racism if you have a problem keep it to yourself. Have good day

    I lived on South Sudan for 7 years and every time I interacted with a Dinka, Nuer woman I was in awe of the detail that God took to create their skin. It is dark, velvety, smooth and so rich. What about their build? It is out of this world. Proportionately made to perfection♥️❤️❤️

      she is a racist piece of garbage who wants to start a race war. an australian magazine dedicated an article to her (how nice of them!) but put the image of a different model by mistake and now this gal suddenly claims her entire race was disrespected and behaves as if she is the queen of africa. what a joke.

    Adut is such a great model, and i feel so proud of her. When she said "I feel like I belong everywhere", it made me so emotional, because I felt like I didn't belong anywhere everywhere my family went. It just hit someplace I didn't even know existed. But overall I'm happy she feels like that.
    And lowkey when you're South Sudanese you have family members ALL around the world... Some you might not know about until they suddenly pop up in some conversation😅.
