It is reported that many people the young lady interacted with while growing up had very negative opinions about her skin. There were some people who literally feared her because of the glowing complexion while others cautioned her to just get rid of it by bleaching. Once, an Uber driver even asked her to bleach for $10,000 (N3,630,000). According to the young lady, she has been blessed with the melanin skin and there was no cause to change it for any reason. To her, bleaching is totally needless and unnecessary. Nyakim Gatwech toughened through the criticism and now flourishes as a stunning Black model.
