The Ethiopian-born supermodel will soon begin work on her third movie, an indie flick entitled Desert Flower, based on the autobiography of the Somalian model, Waris Dirie. Kebede plays the lead role in the $16 million adaptation of Dirie's bestselling autobiography, which traces her rise from a childhood in the Somali desert to the catwalks of the international fashion community, and her role as a United Nations spokeswoman against female circumcision. This appears to be a well-suited part for Kebede as she is a World Health Organization Goodwill Ambassador and founder of The Liya Kebede Foundation.
