Iman Mohamed Abdulmajid
Iman Mohamed Abdulmajid defied the conventional Western mold of models. Discovered in Somalia at eighteen, she swiftly rose to fame. However, she departed the industry in 1987, finding it lacking in grace.
She moved to Los Angeles, where she met and married David Bowie. Together with the BBC, she created the documentary Somalia Diary. In 1994, she launched her cosmetics line, offering diverse options for women of color, addressing the challenge of finding matching foundation shades.
