No wonder she's called the 'Queen of the Dark'.
Meet Nyakim Gatwech, a South Sudanese model who is blessed with melanin in abundance -- she loves every inch of her dark skin.
She goes by the handle @Queenkim_nyakim and has 65,222 followers on Instagram.
An inspiration to millions of women with dark complexion, Nyakim is often faced with questions about her skin colour.
'Some people stay snapping me, asking me why am I so dark? How on Earth they expect me to answer that question?' she wrote on her Instagram posts.
'I'm bless(ed) with melanin and I love all this darkness,' she added.
Take a look at some of her stunning pics on the social media photo-sharing site.

'Besides the fact that no matter how much coconut oil I have to put on my skin, I'm still ashy. I love every part (of) it. I love the fact (that) my skin is unique, it is one tone, and finally how soft it is,' she added.

She is extremely comfortable in her skin and prefers her natural colour without any bleach.
'Show me skin with no bleach and I'll show you beauty,' she wrote on Instagram.
IMAGE: An Uber driver once asked her if she would consider bleaching her skin for $10,000. She didn't know what to say, so she started laughing aloud. 'Why on Earth would I ever bleach this beautiful melanin God (blessed) me with,' she told Huffington Post in an interview.

I'm so thankful and grateful to all the amazing people showing me love and support and writing such powerful articles about me. We are all beautiful in whatever shade of skin color God created us in. So why should dark be bad? Embrace and love who you are and the world would as well!'
