Anok Yai, a sophomore at Plymouth State University has signed a  modelling contract days after her photo went viral online.

The stunning model last weekend attended the historically Black university’s homecoming festivities when she was spotted and photographed by Stephen Hall who was taking photos of stylish attendees.

After snapping a photo of Yai, Hall posted the photo to his Instagram account with the  caption:

“Saw her right at the end of Yardfest. Stunning @anokyai”

Surprisingly, Anok on Tuesday, signed a major modelling contract with Next Models and she is so excited about it.

In an interview with The Boston Globe, she talked about how she had never thought the photo could go viral but had experienced something entirely different from her imaginations.  After receiving over 13,000 likes, the photo however ended up going viral.

In her words:

“My phone just started vibrating rapidly for a long, long time. At first, I honestly thought someone made a meme of me or something.”
