Angolan supermodel Maria Borges did not always want to be a model. She had wanted to be a doctor because she ‘wanted to help people’. But when the opportunity to model came up, she grabbed it and ran with it. Today, the model is putting Angola and Africa on the map, breaking the glass ceiling in the modelling world.
Born in Luanda, Angola, Borges first started modelling in Portugal. From there she went to New York where her career soared. She has been featured on the cover of dozens of top magazines including Forbes Africa which named her the top model of 2013.
