Alek Wek Talks Style, Service and She’s The First

When we got our invite to a philanthropic social media panel held by She’s The First, a philanthropic organization founded by Tammy Tibbets, we couldn’t be more excited. As avid fans of Twitter and Facebook, we are well aware of how organizations and individuals from the Continent and Diaspora are making impact and creating change. What we didn’t know was that one such individual, Alek Wek, was also doing the same. Ms. Wek was on hand during the event, last week, to talk about how she’s using social media to make a difference back home. Thanks to event organizers, including Stephanie Scott, and Ms. Wek’s publicity team we had the distinct honor of interviewing her prior to the conference. Check out our Q&A below.

Africa Style Daily: We didn’t know you had such a love of Social Media! What sparked it?

Alek Wek: I must admit that I’m still new to social media, having just joined Twitter in November of last year. So I’m still on a bit of a learning curve and I have to remember to make time to update my followers on what I’m doing. But what sparked my interest is the ability to get and receive information so quickly. It’s amazing really and I enjoy getting fun, and sometimes very important, information from Twitter.
