250 years of America. Still evolving. Still inspiring. Still shaped by those bold enough to belong. ••• #repost @vanityfair In honor of America’s 250th birthday, @anokyai is embracing an American flag. “Doing this story, and doing the cover with the American flag,” Anok Yai tells Vanity Fair’s José Criales-Unzueta, “it’s just a representation of the fact that America is a melting pot. It’s a land of immigrants, and we’re all American.” When we asked the supermodel and immigrant to pose alongside the flag, she was as daunted as she was flattered. But once she held the star-spangled banner in her arms, her demeanor transformed. Yai draped the flag around her body and held onto it tightly.
