Liya Kebede isn't my favorite supermodel ever just because of her striking looks.
As the face of designers like Tom Ford, Dolce & Gabbana, and Yves Saint Laurent and the first black women to represent Estee Lauder, supermodel Liya Kebede has knocked down many doors in fashion for women of color. However, as a native of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Liya has used her name to shine a light on the maternal and child health and mortality in developing countries. Says Kebede, "As an Ethiopian and a mom, I couldn't help but to be involved with the issue of maternal and child health."
Liya Kebede shows us that regardless of what your "job" might be, you can (and should) have a passion in life and develop that passion to make the world a better place.
Learn more about her charitable efforts and how you can get involved with the The Liya Kebede Foundation. You can also check out part 1 of 3 of Liya's episode of CNN Revealed.
