In February 2013 Ethiopian-born Yiytish Aynaw became the first woman of African descent to be named Miss Israel.
The stunning 21-year-old relocated to Israel at the age of 12 to live with her Ethiopian Jewish grandparents after the death of her mother.
Less than 10 years later, she's grabbed international attention after her win at the beauty pageant. She will now represent Israel at the Miss Universe competition.
Aynaw, who also goes by the nickname Titi, hopes that her title will help her carve out a successful career in fashion.
But she is also interested in becoming a positive role model for her community.
