Speaking about the world of modeling, Aboahe said, “You get to a point in your career where you’re no longer doing group shoots or covers. You do campaigns and editing yourself. It will be a very lonely job and experience. And so (on set) I loved being with people all the time.”

Abohe openly discussed that rejection comes with the job: “I think I have like 10 million layers of skin because I have to do a lot of self-work in my early 20s.
‘Do not get me wrong; there were a few parts this year that I came close to that I really wanted. I learn every time. I just feel like something is coming. I don’t know when it will come, but I’m confident.’
Adwoa has been open about her problems with drink and drugs, previously saying she tried marijuana at age 14 before moving on to harder drugs.
Last year, she revealed she was “pushed to tear myself apart and put everything back together” while in a treatment center for her drug addiction.
The socialite and former Vogue front cover star, 30, added that she’s “lucky” to be sober and entering treatment because it forced her to confront herself and her addiction issues.
Speaking on the Reign With Josh Smith podcast for World Mental Health Day, she said: ‘I was lucky enough to go to treatment, so I met a crazy variety of people there who had been through all sorts of different things.
‘It gives you goosebumps when you really have to confront yourself. I’m actually quite lucky. Many sober people say that. I think I’m very lucky to have had to deal with it now.

Speaking about the world of modeling, Aboahe said, “You get to a point in your career where you’re no longer doing group shoots or covers. You do campaigns and editing yourself.’
“Pushed to pick apart all the judgments I had about other people. Pushed to take myself apart and put everything back together so I could look at things a little differently.
“Even though it was pretty f***ing s**t, I’m lucky enough to be completely honest to have been given this opportunity to do things differently and look at situations in a more empathetic way. ‘
The model, who can often be seen in the front row of major fashion shows, has been open about her problems with drink and drugs – in 2016 she spoke candidly about first using marijuana at the age of 14 after getting drunk at a house party.
From then on, she said she tried cocaine and ketamine, the latter being the drug that “really got to her.”
She used her platform to raise awareness for Mental Health Week, adding, “I’ve resigned myself to the fact that life is so messy and the journey of one’s mental health couldn’t be further from linear.”
“So the fact is it’s just ebb and flow and we find ways to deal with things and then we’re faced with something else, whether it’s sadness or identity or love or sex, it’s endless.
“I think because our stories change and evolve, and we grow, so our perspective on things changes. being like, “Okay, maybe it was my fault”.
“Or maybe there are different ways we can look at things, I think that definitely comes with age.” I’ve really started to set those boundaries and know what’s good for me and what’s not good for me.’
When asked in 2016 how many drugs she used, she said in an interview: ‘Only every day.

‘I preferred to be alone in my room. And what happened if certain people didn’t go out on Tuesday night, I could very easily find another who did go out that day.
“Maybe they’d go out on Wednesday, so I’d go out with them.” “I don’t think I necessarily wanted to quit, I… my parents sent me to Arizona (for rehab).
“The people I grew up with were on a lot of drugs, so it wasn’t necessarily unheard of, it was normal, so I got away with it for a long time.” Because it affected her modeling work, she said it affected how she viewed her self-image.
“Losing a job and being judged by your looks – I definitely got a second skin and got used to it, but more now I realize it definitely doesn’t (help). It certainly contributed to the way I feel about myself.
“I don’t know if (getting scouted) was a booster. I certainly don’t feel like being in a magazine made me feel better about myself.”
