Now, eight years later, she still blogs, has her own self-titled clothing line, and is a signed model at Wilhelmina. But how did she get there? Nadia opens up about her #dreamdriving journey, lessons she’s learned along the way about standing out, celebrating her wins, and not sacrificing who she is just to get ahead.
