There were no Sudanese models, no African models,\u201d remarked Akech to\u00a0<em>British Vogue.\u00a0<\/em>\u201cNow,\u201d she added, \u201cI go to a show and there are girls from my country, girls from Africa who look like me. So yes, there has been a huge change. It has gone from me being the only one at a show to 15 or 20 of us. I\u2019m just so happy that we are finally at this place. I was tired of always feeling out of place and feeling like an outcast.\u201d<\/p><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CYre3IeBXom\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
