When Good Indian was listening to her interview, Yai had said it was her dream to be a model, but she decided to focus on her education, afraid that modelling would be impossible.

However, Yai recently announced on her Instagram that she’s been signed to the prestigious Next Models.

Unbelievable? 🤔🤔

Check Out Her Profile.

Good Indian is quoting her Instagram Post.

*"Excited to announce that I am now signed with @ nextmodels

Thank you to everyone that’s supported me along the way; hope you follow me on this journey

#TheNextNext"

Girls on International Platforms like GirlsAskGuys should watch her Inspirational Journey here.

Most people have no idea how to achieve their dreams. What they possess is a vague notion that there is something they would like to do someday or someone they would like to become. But they don’t know how to get from here to there. If that describes you, then you’ll be glad to know that there really is hope.

My Conclusion :

We're quick to judge. We often put labels on people. When we feel angry or frustrated, we often look for someone else to blame for our problems.

Read the opinions of a few G@G users. Good Indian asked for opinions by posting her picture in the "How do I look Category" here.

Racism is based on the belief that some people are superior because they belong to a particular race, ethnic or national group.

Racism due to a lack of imbibing virtues of tolerance.

Racism rears its ugly head, when people aren’t tolerant and/or the system hasn’t put in place strong deterrence against racial abuse.

For achieving success we need continuous effort to achieve the target. Let’s say you have 100 chances to strike the bullseye, then you will definitely achieve your goal.

Hope is something to nurture not to lose. Hope is something you believe in, you love and you nurture.

Remaining optimistic and joyful in life goes a long way in preserving physical, emotional and spiritual health which can contribute to living a longer, more fulfilling life ultimately.

Hope it Helps. 😊🇮🇳

Have a Great Life Ahead.

I didn't see any real racism in the comments, all of them as far as I could tell rated her between a 7 to a 10 all of which are above average, usually significantly more then average. Only a few stated they where uninterested which is preference not racism. I only saw one comment that was inappropriate or could be construed as racist. I think people need to stop throwing that word around, just because some one doesn't find another group of people attractive doesn't mean they are racist, believing in an innate superiority of a group over another is racism, what you are claiming is racism is nothing more then personal preference which is also highly subjective to begin with, it does not reflect their views of the people as a whole or in general beyond aesthetics. Personally I think she is beautiful but that doesn't mean every one else has to find her so just because I do.

[vishna]

She is very beautiful! I don't think she's charging the most just yet (bc she's so new) but I hope she gets there

[Gypsy_x]

She is beautiful, and this was a thought provoking MyTake/question.

A lot of people say that there is nothing racist about racial preferences, but I disagree. A non-racist person sees beauty, no race. A racist person sees more beauty in one or more races than others. Racial preferences are based on prejudice and stereotypes.

[Omega_brie]

racial preferences have little to do with physical preference, and a lot more to do with social status.

[Gypsy_x]

@Omega_brie agreed

[Cosytoasty]

You can safely ignore any ideas about racism or social justice or “striking a blow for equality”. She is a model because she stands out from the crowd in the United States... she gets people looking and talking which means advertising. It’s a business decision and nothing more.

In sub Saharan Africa, people would barely look twice. She would be an ordinary pretty girl.

[bubble_tea]

Although I like the positive message of this mytake and the girl is absolutely gorgeous, I don't think her story matches with your motivational pictures. She didn't work hard to become a model, she was simply discovered by pure chance. So it's not exactly "dream big. work hard." but I read your story more as "dream a little. don't try at all and you'll succeed." lol anyway, good take, because without it, I probably wouldn't have heard of this beautiful woman.

[bubble_tea]

@Political_dude Thanks!

[Josht13]

what is inspirational about her story she did nothing to become a model and had seemingly no struggle to become a successful person she got it handed to her basically.

[Josht13]

thots downvoting

[GirlThatDraws]

We should really stop with the Most Beautiful Person in the world thing, there's way too many beautiful people to label as the most beautiful in the world.

[Being_a_good_Indian]

Agree !!! That's why Good Indian had mentioned *"ONE of the most beautiful woman"*

[Chantel77]

Whoa I didn't know that she was in college, I thought she was a full time model!! Thank you for the link 😊

[themetalhead]

she is a very beautiful woman. i never judge anyone by race, we are all humans. there is always some sort of beauty within everyone.

[Hemlock]

I have seen her all over insta (the college party photo), she's soooo stunning, I never knew she was signed by NEXT, that is such a huge agency.

[Pikachula]

I have no idea who this girl is, don't really care either tbh. A lot of pretty girls in the world, why should this one be so special.

[undoubtedlyconfusedG]

Because racism is alive and well. Therefore, it is great shed light on beauty in other races

[spiderweirdo]

That girl is STUNNING. Absolutely flawless... her dark skin really smooths and emphasizes her features.

[JDavid25]

Good take!.. & Yeah she is fione and I love her hair..

[Papavera]

No offense but I see nothing so inspirational here. She's really beautiful though.

[Pink2000]

I don't either. The only thing that stands out is her skin color. She is pretty though.

[JustAnotherGirlie]

Do you know her story though? She wanted to be a model but she was definitely always disparaged for her skin color. Which may not sound like much until you realize skin color is EVERYTHING in the modeling industry. There’s only a very small percentage of black models that get good work

[Pink2000]

@JustAnotherGirlie I see it of African models. They have very distinct features which makes them modeling material. A lot of them have the height and perfect bodies.

[Papavera]

@JustAnotherGirlie, yes I've read her story, but still it doesn't inspire me, there are bunch of models like that. Tbh, just another girl overcoming her insecurities...

[Pink2000]

Exactly

[Fitness-Fanatic]

Good take ! . I always look forward to reading your Takes :)

[deraz24]

Very cool look I've seen her around on different things

[OlderAndWiser]

Interesting. I have never heard of her, but she has probably never heard of me, so we are good!

[micheal727jovanie]

A beautiful person the world should appreciate more

[rihannanavy]

#TeamSudan! So she charges the same as Ducki for photoshoots? I wouldn't say they are on the same level yet. I heard about this and I'm glad to see another Sudanese girl making it

[EpicDweeb]

Hmm... I had to look up who Duckie was... I think you're right, Duckie still has a long ways to go to catch up with Anok Yai. xD

[vishna]

Omg another Ducki fan! Do you by chance watch Jamie and Nikki?

[rihannanavy]

@EpicDweeb The other way around but their winning so great for them

[rihannanavy]

@vishna Yes!!! I knew of them before Duckie. I'm a Rihanna fan so that's how I came across Duckie really. She was in blogs but I didn't really care for her at the time

[vishna]

She is such a great face of Fenty! lol same about her in the vlogs, Nikki is so amazing, a great mom, great person and so stylish

[rihannanavy]

@vishna I wish she and Duckie could model together. Gigi and Bella on another level

[lazermazer]

Great take, but to be brutally honest i didn't find her to be that beautiful. Being Indian myself.

[DamnMan]

I don't get to see that shade of black very often, and I like it... a lot.

[winterfox10]

Wow really? She's pretty but I find more appealing.
