(NEW YORK) Who said fashionistas don't finish first? This Thursday, November 30, Iman will be honored at Capitol File Magazine's first anniversary celebration for her humanitarian work as world ambassador for Keep a Child Alive, which combats AIDS in Africa. "As I came to understand the level of personal commitment Iman has made to the 'I Am African' campaign, it seemed important to allow this woman to address Capitol File's community of decision-makers in her own words," remarked editor-in-chief Kate Gibbs.

The supermodel, who recently co-hosted the Condé Nast-sponsored Black Ball with Valentino to benefit the foundation, tops the list of those honored, including Congresswomen Marsha Blackburn and Mary Bono, as well as ambassadors from South Africa, Zambia, Lesotho, Equatorial Guinea, Angola, and Congo.
