Addis Ababa, Ethiopia native Liya Kebede who is a model, actress, goodwill ambassador, and activist graces the latest cover of Cookie magazine. She is photo'd with her 2-year-old daughter, Raee. You’ve seen her in many publications including Essence and Vogue. She has a new children’s clothing line, LemLem, and the clothes are so cute. LemLem means "bloom" in Amharic, and the clothes are geared towards kids under 10 years of age. The fine pieces are made in Ethiopia with traditional weaving and embroidery, and the garments are absolutely breathtaking. Raee is a cute miniature image of mom. Can you believe Liya was once considered an ugly duckling? Get to know her. With so much emphasis on Naomi and Gisele, we hear very little about some of the other women in the modeling world.
