They Rejected Him Because Of His Hair: See How This Boy Look Now

Farouk James, an 8 year old Ghanaian boy born in London, is an Instagram superstar who rose to fame at 6 months of age. She started making money with her natural, unusual hair. His mother said in an interview that her son's hair was starting to wear out in her uterus when she went to prenatal care.

After the young model finished elementary school, it was difficult for her to get into high school because every school she applied to kept rejecting her because of the length of her hair. However, when she decided not to cut her hair, her mother defended her and continued the fight against discrimination against her son's hair.

After years of searching for a good neighborhood school to accept Farouk without asking him to cut his hair, he was finally accepted into a private school on the grounds that he always had to tie his hair.

The 8 year old man, who has nearly 300,000 followers on Instagram, makes his living modeling for leading brands like Gucci, Fendi, Balenciaga, Versace.
