Model/humanitarian Philomena Kwao is not only changing the way we view beauty, but is also slowly altering the way all young people view themselves via her charitable endeavor The Lily Project, which pairs mentors with young woman who can receive advice and ask questions via an online chat.

We chatted with Philomena about everything from industry labels to the modeling misconceptions.
