"I freed myself": Discover the magic and truth of Ceval in this video for Vogue Scandinavia

In a one-of-a-kind cover story for Vogue Scandinavia's latest issue, trail-blazing trans Norwegian model Ceval Omar describes her friends, her confidants – her sisters – as "all my leaves of my tree". Fittingly, here, a goddess-like Ceval is captured amongst glorious nature, surrounded by her sisterhood. Growing up in Oslo, Norway, Ceval was "continually told by every person in my life and society, and my culture and religion, that I was not meant to be and shouldn’t be," she says. "And I would live in the shadows." Hers is a journey from darkness to light and warmth, a journey that has very much been her own, but shared and supported by her chosen family.
