Identity is so much more than a name, a place you’re from, or the heritage you carry. It’s the stories you choose to tell, the boundaries you break, and the truth you dare to embody. For the 40s edition of LE MILE Magazine, I had the privilege of working with the extraordinary Waris Dirie — a woman whose presence redefines what strength, resilience, and beauty can look like. Captured through the lens of Stefan Kokovic, this story became more than an editorial. It became a reflection on identity as something fluid, layered, and deeply personal. Identity is courage. Identity is evolution. Identity is reclaiming your narrative — on your own terms.
