There are very few dark skinned models of African descent active in
the international modelling circuit these days. It is bad enough that
the list of modelling greats coming in to save the day for many a
whitewashed runway is limited to Oluchi Orlandi, Alek Wek and Naomi
Campbell. Thankfully, the Ghanaian model, Destiny Owusu, known to
everyone as Oh Wawa is seeking to change that.
Born in Ghana and currently dividing her time between Ghana and the
United States, Owusu came into prominence when she contested for the V
Files Spring 15 model of the season. With three years of modelling
behind her, endorsements from Italian powerhouses Dolce and Gabbana and
collaborations with Ronke Raji and a feature in V Magazine, not to
mention walking at New York Fashion Week, Owusu is definitely lit. These
are some of our favorite pictures of her.

She wears the hell out of a plunge neckline.
Ever seen a bomber jacket look this good?
Owusu takes her tomboyish streak and runs with it into high fashion territory.
Just in case you were wondering, she’s ethereal in a dress too.

What can we say, Oh Wawa is fitness goals.
And pretty as hell
