A model birthed in the heart of Senegal. She was given an incomparable skin tone. Although her skin tone is not unusual in her country, she was bullied and ridiculed for her skin color in school as a child. Khoudia Diop is the model. Diop, however, was able to overcome the ridicule and the bullying and became a very successful model. Her skin tone is not a condition but a natural complexion that refers to her as the ‘goddess of melanin.’
