Kerri Holwell Figueira was once teased for her skin colour, now she's modelling in national campaigns.

"I came home and I was crying and wanted to be bathed to wash my skin colour. I remember [my mom] saying … 'people pay thousands of dollars to have skin like yours,' and something from that time clicked," said Holwell Figueira. "We're so unique," she said. "I think what the pandemic, in my experience, has uncovered is a natural beauty... Our dark skin and our features are very distinct and those are things that should be embraced and loved and we shouldn't be afraid or ashamed of."One of Holwell Figueira's most recent bookings was for the Tim Hortons Double Double clothing collection, which despite only being available to purchase for 20 minutes, sold out.

One of the many photos from the Tim Hortons Double Double collection photoshoot, the largest shoot that Kerri Holwell Figueira has been a part of so far.
