Okky Alparessi (28) was named The New L-Men of the Year 2020 in October and with this title, he won the right to represent Indonesia at Mister Supranational 2021. He is a university lecturer and marketer and stands 1.8m tall. In his free time, Okky enjoys painting and he describes teaching as his greatest passion.
Okky would like to convey a message to the world about inclusivity especially for the awareness of colorblinded people. “I've always believed that everyone has the same opportunity to be successful in both education and career. Unfortunately, minorities are often forgotten, disregarded, and outcasted for their presence. As someone who is color blind amongst millions of other people, I believe that it is time to show my courage, speak up, and raise this issue. One of my biggest goals is to build a platform to connect colorblind people and share about their world and experience by establishing a community or even a foundation,” he says. Should he win the title of Mister Supranational 2020, he would like to share a message of hope to people with disabilities that there are always opportunities in limitations.
Welcome to the Supra Family, Okky! We look forward to meeting you next year.
