Waris Dirie is a Somali model, author, actress and human rights activist.
Waris Dirie was born into a nomadic clan in Galkayo, Somalia in 1965. At the age of thirteen, she fled her family in order to escape an arranged marriage to a much older man.
She landed in London where she lived with and worked for wealthy relatives. Waris later worked at a local McDonald's, trying to make ends meet after war broke out in her country causing the closure of the Somalian Embassy where she had previously worked.
