View this post on Instagram Hi Howard #howardhomecoming A post shared by ROCK (@anokyai) on Oct 21, 2017 at 11:16am PDT Yai, 19 then, was a student of Biochemistry at Plymouth State University, who moved to the U.S. from South Sudan in 2000. She was having a good time at Howard University’s homecoming when a photographer began taking photos of her. According to her the photographer Steve ‘theSUNK’ Hall said to her “Today was a good day, and a couple of these photos have the potential to go viral.” She didn’t really think much of it, so I just smiled and went on about her day. Little did she know, those images will send her going viral on social media. This picture on theSUNK gained over 10,000 likes on their instagram page in one day. And garnered her almost 16,000 likes that day. View this post on Instagram Big thank you to @thesunk for capturing this moment. Amazing photographer.
