21 Questions With… Victoria’s Secret Model Zuri Tibby

While Zuri Tibby may feel that “the industry does a great job of including all shapes, sizes and colors,” it’s worth noting that she’s the first black model to serve as a spokesmodel for Victoria’s Secret PINK. The Florida native, who was discovered in a mall, has been a part of the PINK family for over a year now and recently walked in her first Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. But that’s not the only impressive gig the 21-year-old’s résumé boasts. She has modeled for Creatures of the Wind, Vivienne Westwood and Thom Browne and has appeared in the pages of Vogue Italia, Vogue Japan, ELLE UK and Teen Vogue. She has also appeared in Rihanna’s Stance campaign. We spoke with the up-and-coming model, who fittingly goes by the handle @angelzuri, and asked her our quickfire questions.
