Liya Kebede: Supermodel, Nonprofit Role Model

Whoever said beauty is only skin deep hasn’t met supermodel, actress, and World Health Organization (WHO) ambassador Liya Kebede. When she’s not gracing the cover of Vogue or lending her face to Estee Lauder’s cosmetics campaign, the international beauty is leading the crusade for women’s health. Born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the 27-year-old mother of two founded The Liya Kebede Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing medical care for pregnant women, new mothers, and children in Africa.
