Khuraira feels humbled and grateful for her success, a far cry from her humble beginnings in an orphanage in the small town of Jos, Nigeria. She also feels obligated to give back. Her business slogan:
Making the world flawless, one face at a time
defines the true purpose of her uncommon talent: "A God given talent is worthless unless used for the betterment of mankind", she says humbly; "In this case, I believe the world will never be flawless unless each needy child is fed and cared for". "Let a hurting child anywhere be the responsibility of all of us everywhere".
