Blésnya Minher, modelo: “Mi padre cuando ve mis logros se siente culpable: ‘Madre mía, casi te privo de todo eso’”

Blensnya Minher, a model from Angola, shares a poignant story about her father's feelings of guilt when he witnesses her success. In an interview, she reveals that her father once felt he had deprived her of such opportunities when she was a young aspiring model. Blensnya, born in a small fishing village in Pontevedra, Portugal, and currently residing in Lisbon, Portugal, recounts how she learned Spanish after signing her first Calvin Klein contract.

She credits Facebook for providing her with a Spanish lesson from the comfort of her home in Luanda, Angola, where she had previously lived.
