This is Mayada Mohamedalazrag aka Mayada Adil, Sudanese, Doctor by profession, passionate Visual artist/Fashion designer who use the fabric as a painting to tell a story of Nubian heritage that inherited from our ancestors, the kings and queens of Kingdom of Kush in attempt to connect the generations with their history to create identity using hand painting technique, graphic designs, silk printing to wrap a women/man body incredibility in a unique pieces. Through my fashion collections, that I consider it as a social enterprise, I’m seeking to empower women through building their confidence and self-expression and most importantly economic empowerment by creating employment opportunities for women living in vulnerable rural societies through vocational training and developing businesses in a attempt to fulfill UN Sustainable Development Goals. and I’m thriving to change the narrative of beauty standards as I model.

My passion is changing the narrative of the African beauty standards and working on not leaving a single woman behind by economically empowering the women through Fashion lens projects.

I believe that fashion is a body politics that able to change entire communities through vibrant visual imaging. As I’m contesting to the Next Fashion Hero, I will be focusing my efforts on the Social Impact of Fashion industry to empower women through building their confidence and self-expression and most importantly economic empowerment projects with NGOs by creating employment opportunities for women living in vulnerable conditions e.g. refugees through vocational training and developing businesses in a attempt to fulfill UN Sustainable Development Goals.
