Iman

Iman Profile

* Birth Date: July 25, 1955

* Birth Place: Mogadishu, Somalia

* Birth Name: Iman Abdulmajid

* Height: 5'9"

*Iman Abdulmajid was born in Mogadishu, Somalia on July 25, 1955. Being the daughter of a diplomat, Iman was raised in a comparatively privileged home, where she was quickly taught the basics of global politics.

*Fluent in five languages - Arabic, English, French, Italian, and Somali - she studied political science and was recruited as a model by American photographer Peter Beard.

*In 1979, Iman made history as the first African (or African-American) woman to appear on the cover of Vogue. Soon afterwards she made more history when she became the first woman of color to sign a cosmetics contract. She became as big a star as a model could become in that era, and quickly turned her attention to film.

*wife of David Bowie

*Iman has become a citizen of the United States and is currently CEO of Iman Cosmetics, Skincare and Fragrances, a line she launched to market a selection of products for women of color.

*Far from keeping her success and her talents exclusively to herself, Iman has worked hard to make sure that she can use her celebrity to help the underprivileged. As an active member of Mother's Voices, Action Against Hunger, The Children's Defense Fund, and the All Children Foundation, Iman has entrenched herself as one of the most socially conscious women in the celebrity world.

Iman is certainly one of the most beautiful women on Earth, but by conquering such diverse challenges as modeling, acting, raising a family, and fighting for a better world, she has made herself one of the most respected too.
