Indeed, beyond a slew of endorsements, the Kenyan-bred talent has nabbed a number of coveted roles – including a much sought after spot in the new Star Wars flick.

With the film’s promotional machine in full swing, the stunner lives up to her billing on the cover of ESSENCE magazine’s January 2016 issue.
