Introduce Yourself/Tell About Yourself: Hi ! My name is Olivia Vangu. Nice to meet you ! I’m 17 years old. I’m Congolese ( DRC ) & Nigerian. I live in Paris, FR. I’m a fashion model ( since almost one year now ) and also an Instagram influencer.

What Inspires You Every day? : My family, my friends, my studies, my faith in God & my passion are what keep inspiring me each day I wake up from my bed. I love what I do and the people who surrounding me, who stay by my side too.

I think it’s really important to have some support in any way possible too sometimes. The more I see myself accomplishing, the more I will be motivated to keep doing better !

What is some words of wisdom you live by?: My grandfather always used to tell me words I still admire now, as for example :

” There will never be success without fail. “, ” Keep seeing the good, even in the bad “, ” Stay focused on your goals ” and ” Always spraying love “.

So, I just live by it 🙂

What is your ultimate goal in life? : My ” ultimate ” goal in life ? hmm … I would say : to have all my degree diplomas, my own car and home. To be a POWERFUL woman and keep growing my business things through the years.

To finish, I also wanna inspiring more and more black girls & others to be more confident with themselves. We deserve ! Not just in modeling, as well, but … why not tho ? haha.

How have you been during the pandemic and how has it affected you? : At the start, I was really feeling indifferent but during this time, I learned how to adapt myself to it. I been more productive, I took care of me better and reflected on some several projects. I also spent more time with my family, so it helped me a lot personally.

What is a message you would like to give others? : Keep believing in yourself, don’t listen to other people do the thing you like to and never give up. NEVER !

What else would you like to tell others about you or your life?: Maybe it doesn’t seem lol, but I also love cooking, art, singing, dancing, drawing and discovering new things by travelling etc .. That’s it.
