The Journey of Baboya Peters from Juba, South Sudan to the world stage

Baboya Peters is a South Sudanese model who became a professional model in Europe, signed under ISIS Models Africa. He recently featured in Saint Laurent Men’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection.

Baboya’s journey into the modeling world began when he was scouted through Instagram by Joan Okorodudu. Following the discovery, he was provided with the financial assistance needed to apply for his international passport. This enabled him to travel from Sudan to Nairobi, where the agency processed his visa. From Nairobi, Baboya flew out to Paris and Milan for his first fashion shows.

Upon returning to Nairobi after these shows, Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) flew him from Nairobi to Morocco for another set of shows. Baboya’s rapid rise in the fashion industry is a testament to his talent and the support he received from influential figures in the modeling world.

ISIS Models financial supports came through Runways to Freedom dedication to empowering young African girls and boys.
