VIDEO: “The Way I Feel Inside No Comments Will Be Able To Change That” Haitian Model Ralph Souffrant Speaks

7.2K

Ralph Souffrant is a Haitian model known for his striking freckles that cover his face and body—a rarity for someone of African descent, giving him a unique appearance often compared to vitiligo. Growing up, Ralph faced severe bullying and isolation due to his distinctive look, which made him feel like an outsider. He reflected on this in a Facebook post, expressing how difficult it was to fit in.

His life took a positive turn when he was discovered by photographer Aaron Taylor at 13, who mentored him until 2015 when they launched an Instagram page that catapulted his modeling career. Ralph, who now has over 128,000 Instagram followers, has embraced his freckles, which have become his defining feature in the fashion industry. He made his debut at Yeezy Season 3, signing a modeling contract the same day. Ralph’s story is a testament to how fashion is increasingly celebrating diversity.

On March 27th, 2024, popular social media street interviewer Eric Jeng caught up with Ralph Souffrant for an interview. You can watch the interview below and follow Her Here.
