Bio

American Danish Actor Amelia Hoy graduated from the acclaimed conservation The Danish National School of Performing Arts in 2015, and now works internationally. She is starring in the Antarctic drama series ‘The Head’ in 2020. Amelia has also hosted content for Copenhagen Fashion Week and Copenhagen Fashion Summit for several years, also interviewing talent, press, and international fashion professionals.

Mona Mohammed Ali is a Somalian and Scandinavian entrepreneur with a degree in Fashion Design and Marketing from London. Mona moved back to Stockholm from London in 2019 after 10 years of working in the industry to bring diversity and inclusivity to Scandinavia by uplifting and representing the underrepresented. She created a diverse modelling and inclusive creative agency straight away and launched FIIRI Agency earlier this year.

FIIRI Agency is rooted in the desire and demand for racial representation in the fashion and creative industry. Not defining “diversity” by one race, FIIRI encourages the individual creativity of BIPOC talents in front of the camera and behind the scenes.
