Elle Magazine South Africa just dropped their August issue this past Monday and it is a thing of beauty. The issue celebrates the creativity of the continent in the very first #AfricaIssue and it's only fitting that they have the gorgeous model/presenter Pearl Thusi on the cover.
Check out a few behind the scenes photos below:
In a touching post on her tumblr account Pearl wrote:
My 1st @ellemagazinesa cover.
Dreams do come true. God is real. And He’s so faithful and full of surprises!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you to my family and friends for all the support throughout the years of my journey into and through this industry. I couldn’t have gotten so far without you carrying me and lifting my spirit in dark and bleak times.
To my daughter, where would I be without you? I’d probably have more money, lol, but my life is so enriched by your presence, your moans and giggles. Just hearing you speak is testament to what love is to me. How true, real and unconditional it is. Thank you for choosing me 👶🏽💝👑
To my mother. It’s never been the same without you. But it’s still to thank you for being here for me even today. I miss you terribly and I live to make you proud. To not repeat your mistakes and to emulate all your amazing strengths. The bravest and most hard working woman I ever knew. I can just imagine what you’d do if you saw this. I will always love you. Always. To think this very month marks 11 years since you passed on. And these great gifts are sprinkled in this very time to remind me that you’re still here. I feel you. 😢❤️👑👑👑
And to my amazing team @capacityrelations . Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I don’t know where to begin. For believing in me and cheering me on. For scolding and loving me. I appreciate you immensely! To more success and happiness!! 🙌🏾✊🏾👯😘💫
To my man. 😘😘😘😘
To my fans, My CUBZ… I LOVE YOU!!!! Thank you for caring and reminding me what I am capable of!!! It means so much! I hope I’m making you proud and showing you what YOU are also capable of!!! To many more years of success for us !!!! 🙏🏾💝🙏🏾😘😘😘
