In the News - An alternative take on the week's media

Modelling or youth work? That's the career dilemma facing 23-year-old Natalie Suliman.

She's currently starring in a Marks & Spencer lingerie campaign and has travelled all over the world modelling for other big name brands but, according to the Islington Gazette, "youth work will always be her first love".

Suliman started helping out at a youth club when she was just 14 and went on to get a job as a youth worker with Islington Council. She still runs an Islington girls' group "where she is able to use her first-hand experience to remind teenagers worried about their looks that most models are indeed air-brushed".
