Anok Yai: South Sudanese Beauty Goes Viral Overnight After This Lovely Picture by Penaldo: 7:12am On Oct 26, 2017
South Sudanese Beauty Yai Goes Viral Gains 16,000 Followers Overnight After This One Images Goes Viral

Yai, 19, is a student of Biochemistry at Plymouth State University, who moved to the U.S. from South Sudan in 2000. She was having a good time at Howard University’s homecoming when a photographer began taking photos of her.

“A friend of mine and I decided to travel to Washington, D.C., to attend Howard University’s Homecoming,” she told Yahoo. She and the friend attended Yardfest – the homecoming concert – and on her way to the dorms, the photographer TheSUNK randomly starts taking photos of her. She said:

After Yardfest ended, I began walking toward the dorms, when a photographer that goes by the name Steve ‘theSUNK’ Hall randomly started taking photos of me.
While he was taking down my information, he said, “Today was a good day, and a couple of these photos have the potential to go viral.” I didn’t really think much of it, so I just smiled and went on about my day.
Little did she know, those images will send her going viral on social media. This picture on theSUNK gained over 10,000 likes on their instagram page.

“It wasn’t until later that evening that I picked up my phone and found hundreds of Instagram notifications piling in,” Yai told Yahoo.

“Before all this happened, I had around 150 followers and was getting about 20 to 30 likes on each photo, and then suddenly, these numbers skyrocketed in a matter of hours.”

Now Yai has almost 25,000 followers and the post below has garnered almost 16,000 likes.

Ugh...please stop spreading lies. This isn't about the black skin or something but the girl is UGLY. Like ugly in Uppercase.
We shouldn't encourage hypocrisy in the bid to promote the black skin. I'm sure the only reason why she's still keeping that complexion is because it is her means of livelihood.

They have distinct black colour in South Sudan. The most popular black model from Africa we all know is also from South Sudan.

Weytin beauty here? She is just an average babe. Her hairstyle, black outfit no make sense to me. She suppose to wear something brighter considering her complexion, arrange her hair well.

Na for Nairaland, u go see black masquerade equals to beauty.

Aha! Just when I was about to type a scathingly blunt remark, I stumbled on this - an exact projection of what I felt, what I still feel.

This isn't beautiful. Beauty isn't automatically a function of your skin colour. The chin, eye, lips , earlobes structures are requisites for having a beautiful face.

Kelly Rowland is dark-skinned but I dare opine she's more beautiful than Ellen DeGeneres who's white.

Genevieve is more beautiful than Cossy Orjiakor who's fairskinned.

Save us the politically correct hogwash! Not all black is beauty!

Exactly what I mean. Likewise, not all whites are beautiful. I have seen horrible- looking white people.

I don't know why we are like this. This is just a extended case of mental slave. The skin doesn't make a person beautiful, facial features does.
I think the reason why black people are also promoting this silly thing is because the whites are. When you look at it from a realistic POV however, the guy who took her picture didn't do that because he thought she was beautiful. He did that because he was amazed at how someone could be so "BLACK".

The first reaction when you see a picture like this would be "How more blacker can a human be?".

That's the reason her pictures went viral in the first place.Not because her beauty(if she has any) is so breathtaking.

Dumb. I dislike getting into a fight with dumb people. Especially the hopeless ones.

Do you look like the girl? Or is she a distant relative? Is that why you are this bitter about my factual post?
