Ida Ljungquist

Tanzanian-Swedish model, Ida Ljungquist is multilingual due to her father’s work in UNICEF. Born to a Tanzania mother and Swedish father, the model was named Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for March and the 2009 Playmate of the year, making her the first African-born to be named Playmate of the Year.

Discovered in 2007, she dedicated her title to philanthropic work through non-profit organizations.
