In their most recent interview, VICE talks to Ger Duany, a South Sudanese refugee turned actor and model who participated in Our Side of The Story , «a series of portraits of South Sudanese refugees turned artists by Mike Mellia, in hopes of giving them a platform to talk about their almost unbelievable voyages from Sudan to America, from refugee camps to runway shows and top-tier universities.»
Duany says,
I never really felt like I was part of the fashion world. It’s a tough circle. I eventually became comfortable in the field and worked during fashion week, doing runway shows and collaborating with some amazing designers. I’ve had so many opportunities, and for that I’m forever grateful and humbled, but my mission right now is much greater than fashion.
