When Ubah was 17, a photographer approached her to do test shots, which he then sent to an agency in Canada. In 2007, her travel restrictions were loosened and she obtained a working visa. Immediately, she was signed with Click Model Management in New York. By 2008, Franca Sozzani cast her in Italian Vogue's first-ever "Black issue," photographed by Steven Meisel. When casting his Spring 2009 collection, Lauren selected her as his new face and chose her to close the runway show. Ubah was immediately selected for her unique look and was chosen to close the runway show, a significant statement from the designer. Following her runway debut, Ubah was selected to appear in Ralph Lauren's Spring 2009 Advertising Campaign, which launched in the February issue of French Vogue. The ads are beginning to appear in March issues stateside.
