Aweng Ade-Chuol is a model on the rise – you might recognize her from her appearance in Beyoncé’s Black Is King, or from her viral wedding, which was featured in Vogue. She talks to the Cut’s Nana Agyemang about growing up in a refugee camp, being scouted at McDonald’s, and living as an openly queer woman within her South Sudanese community.

Creative Class is a talk show about what it takes to be an aspiring artistic genius, brought to you by the Cut.
