"I love dancing our traditional dances Eskista, playing sports and bringing visibility to our culture through our fashion which inspired my greater love of modeling."  Wudneh currently works in New York as a model while she continues her career developing youth programs for Montgomery County in Maryland.  She wanted to build children's futures.

 

Wudneh was seven years old when her family emigrated to the United States. The family settled in the state of Maryland where she attended Wheaton High School. As she and her sister grew up, their parents wanted them to remember their African roots, so the girls had to always speak their native Amharic at home.

 

The six-foot-tall student received an athletic scholarship to attend Bowie State University, where she played women's basketball and earned a Bachelor's degree with a major in Biology.
