Born in Guinea-Bissau, a country in West Africa, Naicy Vaz, 26 years old, arrived in Brazil through a scholarship program. The move also opened doors for her career in fashion.

In 2024, she was among the finalists of The Look of the Year, a competition organized by JOY agency that has already discovered names like Gisele Bündchen.

Currently, in Fortaleza, Naicy divides her time between modeling work and her studies in Social Work.

Reflecting on this period, she highlights the role that the opportunity played in her journey, marking an important turning point in the life of the model who left Guinea-Bissau to start a new chapter.
