Thot became the last eliminated on the eighth cycle of Australia's Next Top Model and made her runway debut at the Yeezy S/S 17 show.

In Melbourne, her classmates and teachers at school weren't able to pronounce her birth name, Nyadak; this led to Thot going by the nickname "Duckie", which she prefers to go by as a model.

[18][19] Before her work with Pirelli, Thot stated that she often provided her own makeup at shoots as there often wasn't a consideration for her skin colour.

[19] She has since been vocal about diversity, race inclusion and Black Lives Matter in the fashion industry, after stating that she is often the only person of colour on set.

[20] Speaking to The Glass Magazine in 2020, Thot said "I think that the fashion industry has come far, but to really push it forward it needs to go further than just hiring models of colour.

Whether that be speaking to each other in our mother language, eating traditional foods, attending a South Sudanese church, and consuming entertainment directly related to our culture.

[19] Remaining mindful of the continuing conflict in South Sudan, Thot would like to use her platform to help Africa as a whole by providing rehabilitation so people can heal and care for themselves.

[23] Legendary make up artist Pat McGrath, was inspired to create a new cosmetics colour to suit Thot's skin tone.
