Last February, the stunning 21-year-old grabbed international attention after becoming the first woman of African descent to be crowned Miss Israel at the country's beauty pageant.
"To be first, you have
all the attention focused on you and I have to represent my whole ethnic
group because through me they see the models," says Aynaw, who will
represent Israel at the next Miss Universe contest. "Through me they see
and discover our whole ethnic group."
