Teenage Student Whose Pictures Went Viral Got Modelling Offers

A teenage South Sudanese student has been inundated with modelling offers. 

The Nineteen-year-old college student Anok Yai went viral after a photographer took her picture at Howard University home-coming..

The photos were posted on the Instagram account the SUNK and have since been liked over 12,000 times. The Plymouth State University student told The Boston Globe she didn't know what to expect when her photos first went viral. 

"My phone just started vibrating rapidly for a long, long time," she told the Globe. "At first, I honestly thought someone made a meme of me or something."

"I’ve had a few offers here and there," she told Yahoo. "But I’m keeping my options open for now, before I make a decision on who I want to commit to."
