When was Wallis Delhi born?

Varis Delhi was born in 1965.

From 65438 to 0965, Waris Dirie was born in Somali where pirates were rampant. Because nomadic tribes are poor and backward, their children die easily. As soon as she was born, her mother named her Wallis, which means Desert Flower. I hope she can be as tenacious, humble but strong as grass on the wasteland for a lifetime.

Somali-born model Waris Dirie has been selected as one of Forbes' 30 female models in the world. Known as the "African feminist fighter", 43-year-old Delhi was once famous for shooting Chanel advertisements.

Waris Dirie's achievement lies not only in showing her beauty and charm on the runway and fashion magazines, but also in exposing the inhuman Somali custom-female circumcision to the global media, so that more and more people in the world know that hundreds of millions of women in Africa are being insulted and treated cruelly.

From 65438 to 0997, she gave up her modeling vision and turned her attention to the work against female circumcision, becoming a goodwill ambassador for the abolition of female circumcision in the United Nations. 1998, Wallis published her first autobiography, Desert Flower, which quickly became an international bestseller. In 2009, this bestseller was adapted into the film Desert Flower, which won many good reputations and awards.
