'I don't think I was confident enough, and I don't think there was a space within the industry for somebody who looked like me.'
She added: 'I worked; I did odd jobs. There were times I had money and times I didn't, it was up and down.'
The supermodel's whole life has been a series of highs and lows.
Back in 2015, Aboah attempted suicide after battling drug addiction.
In the same year she started down the path to recovery and also managed to land the cover of Italian Vogue.
Those trials and triumphs led her to found Gurls Talk—a network for women that encourages conversation surrounding sex, anxiety, antidepressants, and more.
Speaking about the charity, she added:
'If I had somewhere I felt safe enough to talk about the things going on in my life, whether they be small or big, I don't think I would have bottled up everything so much and had it fall to pieces.'
