Nyakim’s fans gave the model the nickname “The Queen of Dark” and “Melanin Goddess”. She gladly accepted these terms of endearment on her Instagram and would often post and use them as hashtags. Nyakim finally became comfortable in her own skin and was not bothered by the pesky comments anymore. She advised other to also love their individuality and uniqueness. “It takes time to love who you are. If you love yourself other people will see. It will shine through you and then they have the choice to accept you or walk away,” Nyakim suggested.
