Biography

South Sudanese model, DJ, activist, and artist whose resilient spirit was forged in Kenya's Kakuma Refugee Camp.

Princess Nyadollar, known to many as Nyabalang, began her journey at the tender age of two in Kenya's west Kakuma Refugee Camp. Far from limiting her, this unique upbringing forged a resilient spirit and a powerful voice.

Today, Nyabalang is a renowned model, a dynamic DJ, and a passionate activist, fiercely advocating for the voiceless and vulnerable women within the fashion industry. Her compelling personal story has resonated globally, featured in prestigious publications like the UK's Sunday Times and on French television's Evonne in Paris. Beyond the runway and the turntables, she is a gifted singer and video editor.
