Nyakim has one thing she dislikes a lot. It is when photographers alter her look so that she appears lighter or darker. “Can you just get my skin color the way it is? Is that too much to ask,” she expressed in an interview. She wants people to stop associating blackness with everything dark and twisted. She loves being called the queen of darkness. She sees Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, Alek Wek, and Nykhor Paul as inspirations and explains, “We’re not just regular models who walk down the runway, go home, and call it a day. We’re inspiring people and opening doors for others.”
