Her journey began when a street style photo of her went viral on Instagram at Howard University’s Homecoming. That moment shifted the course of her career.

By 2019, she made history as the second Black woman to open for Prada, after Naomi Campbell. Yai has walked for Ferragamo, Hugo Boss, and Fendi, appeared on the cover of Vogue France, and fronted campaigns for Versace and Saint Laurent, among other fashion houses.
