New York (Tadias) – In a wide ranging interview with Hamptons Magazine, the premier lifestyle publication of one of the world’s most opulent communities, Ethiopian American Supermodel Liya Kebede discusses her new children’s clothing line, her upcoming movie gig, politics and more.

And what does Liya think of President Obama’s performance so far?

“Fantastic. It’s such a moment for us to have him as president. The way everybody sees America has completely transformed since he’s been in office, and everybody is looking up to him,” she told Hamptons.

“For me and my kids, living in America, it’s so great to see a black president. I’m not sure I thought I would ever see it in my lifetime. And now for my kids it’s something normal, which is priceless.”
