Adwoa Aboah in 'Fresh Take' by Ronan McKenzie for Net-A-Porter August 21, 2023 AOC Fashion

Top model, social activist and Gurl Talk founder Adwoa Aboah makes an absolutely-lovely, up-front-and-personal, “I’ve got this” appearance in Net-a-Porter’s August 21st fashion pages.

We have some utterly gorgeous images of Aboah, lensed by Ronan McKenzie [IG].

Aboah could light up a cigar in this moment, like some seven-figure, boys club lawyer — and she is believable. She’s taken the male gaze and turned it inside out on a journey to self-love that has been challenging at times.

Stylist Helen Broadfoot chooses from Balenciaga, Courrèges, Dolce & Gabbana, Khaite, Saint Laurent, The Row and more.

Her Gurls Talk podcast will resume this fall [2023], with all previous episodes available on the website. On this August Wednesday afternoon, they are not there yet.

In 2022, Aboah’s acting classes paid off with her debut in the much-loved east London-based drama ‘Top Boy’. And she tells her ‘Fresh Take’ interviewer Liv Little that high on her list of priorities is doing a ‘TED Talk’.

Chris Anderson [CEO of TED], if you’re listening, Adwoa Aboah would like to speak at TED2024: The Brave and the Brilliant, April 15-19, 2024 in Vancouver, BC, Canada. ‘The Brave and the Brilliant’ is a perfect forum for her.
