Last year, the successful fashionista gave Harper's Bazaar an insight into her plans for the future including her ambitions to build an empire.
She said: 'I want to be the UK's Black Martha Stewart. That's the next step to building an empire and creating generational wealth, and having the Dunn name live on past me.'
'Riley (Dunn's son) and I are fanatics about hot sauce, we're always on a search to find the spiciest, so from condiments and seasonings to cutlery and potware – that's my next plan.'
'I've got my moodboard together, now it's about talking to people who can make it happen,' she added.
Jourdan also touched on how she would love to create a space for people to enjoy 'amazing food' and a 'great vibe'.
She revealed: 'I do like the idea of a Caribbean/ British (gastropub) combination, I'd love to create that space for other people to come in and enjoy amazing food and a great vibe, that's the end goal.'
'If you have a desire, why not make it happen? I'm just going to go for it. And I want to be a good example to Riley not to limit himself.'
The supermodel also discussed how she has had a 'love-hate relationship' with her modelling career as she felt like it took away the fun of her adolescence.
When discussing her teen self-esteem issues, Jourdan added: 'I looked at it as something that had taken me away from enjoying my teens, even though no one forced me to do it.
'I guess I didn't feel confident in myself. I had low self-esteem about my body – I was tall and lanky.
'Things happened quite quickly for me, but I wasn't really able to enjoy my success.'
She also shared what she learned from her life coach and discussed how they helped her to realise what her 'purpose' and 'passions' were.
She said: 'It helped me to realise what my purpose is and what my passions are. I love beauty, I love art and that's what the fashion industry does.'
'I never used to believe I was creative, but my life coach said, 'You're creating all the time!' So I'm starting to feel the love for fashion again.'
'Now that I'm much more confident in my body and myself, I feel worthy to be there among all the other girls.'

Jennifer Lopez shockingly exposes her pubic area in extreme bodysuit ahead of her 56th birthday
Jennifer Lopez shocked fans with a very daring look that exposed her pubic area as she hit the stage for WorldPride D.C. The songstress, 55, performed for the crowd in a number of eye-catching looks as she belted out hits - shortly after ex Ben Affleck's savage move. One ensemble in particular was created by New York-based brand The Blonds and additionally contained a deep plunging neckline on the front. The skimpy bodysuit was made of a shiny silver material and contained sparkling embellishments that dazzled underneath the bright stage lights. Lopez - who was recently branded 'desperate' by fans over her lesbian kiss at the AMAs - completed the outfit by slipping into a pair of shimmering, over-the-knee boots and allowed her long locks to cascade down past her shoulders in light waves. Jennifer isn't the first celebrity to opt for the risqué wardrobe choice - with Halle Berry also drawing attention for a similar move as she went underwear free at the 2025 Met Gala last month. Lopez turns 56-years-old on July 24. The star sported other head-turning outfits during her performance over the weekend - which were also designed by The Blonds. One was a bikini top with fiery flame details as well as matching bottoms that flaunted Lopez's toned figure. She also wore a black catsuit that left little to the imagination and was designed by Rey Ortiz. Jennifer jumped to her main Instagram page to showcase the numerous looks from the special night - and gave shout outs to the designers as well as her stylists Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn. 'Major shoutout to @theblondsny for slaying my sparkly World Pride stage looks—and to @fashionbyreyortiz for that fierce black catsuit moment,' she penned on Sunday. 'You all didn't just understand the assignment, you rewrote it. Queens of the stage, crowned and confirmed!'

She sit down for chair for di office of her UK agency, First Model Management, she tok about her big career wey don make her waka for runways for luxury brands for London and Paris. "I bin dey watch modelling online since I be small pikin wey dey 11 years," Akol, wey dey in her early twenties now, tell BBC. For di last three years, dem dey stream her across di world wen she dey model, she don even share runway wit Naomi Campbell for one Off-White show. To travel for work dey lonely somtimes but Akol dey constantly bump into models from her birth kontri - South Sudan wey plenti kasala dey happun. "South Sudanese pipo don become very well known for dia beauty," Akol tok, she get high cheekbones, rich, dark skin and she be 5ft 10 inches tall. Look through a fashion magazine or scan footage of any runway show and you go see Akol point - models wey dem born and raise for South Sudan, or doz ones wey from di kontri wey dey stay abroad dey evriwia. Dem range from up-and-comers, like Akol, to supermodels like Anok Yai, Adut Akech and Alek Wek. Afta dem scout her for London car park in 1995, Wek na one of di veri first South Sudanese models to find global success . She don dey appear for plenti Vogue covers and she bin don model for di likes of Dior and Louis Vuitton. And di popularity of South Sudanese models dey show no signs of slowing - leading industry platform dey put togeda annual list of modelling top 50 "future stars" and for im latest selection, one in five models get South Sudanese heritage. Vogue also feature four South Sudanese models for im article about di "11 young models set to storm di catwalks for 2025". "Di expectation of wetin model suppose be - most of di South Sudanese models get am," Dawson Deng, wey dey run South Sudan Fashion Week for di country capital, Juba, with fellow ex-model Trisha Nyachak tok. "Dem get di perfect, dark skin. Dem get di melanin. Dem get di height." Lucia Janosova, one casting agent for First Model Management, tell BBC: "Of course dem dey beautiful... beautiful skin, di height." However, she say she no dey sure exactly why fashion brands dey find South Sudanese models over oda nationalities. "I no fit tell you because plenti girls dey wey also dey beautiful and dem from Mozambique, or Nigeria, or different countries, right?" Ms Janosova add. Akur Goi, South Sudanese model wey bin work wit designers like Givenchy and Armani, get one theory. She believe say South Sudanese models dey in high demand no be sake of dia physical beauty, but for dia "strength" too. Dem born Goi for Juba but as a child, she move to neighbouring Uganda, like Akol and hundreds of thousands of oda South Sudanese. Many pipo run comot for years afta 2011, wen South Sudan become independent from Sudan. High hopes bin dey for di world newest nation, but just two years later, civil war happun, wia around 400,000 pipo die and 2.5 million homes relocate to places like Uganda. Although di civil war bin end afta five years, further waves of violence, natural disasters and poverty make pipo to continue to comot from di kontri. Recently, fighting between goment and opposition forces don increase - wey dey cause fears say di kontri go return to civil war. Afta dem comot from South Sudan for Uganda, Goi "biggest dream" na to become a model. Fantasy become reality just last year, wen agents bin find her through Facebook. For her veri first job, she walk for Italian fashion giant Roberto Cavalli. "I bin dey super excited and ready for my first season... I bin really dey nervous and scared but I tell mysef: 'I fit make am' - becos na my dream," na wetin Goi tell BBC from Milan, afta she bin fly out for a job at di last minute. But some South Sudanese models bin don get veri terrible journeys. One investigation by British newspaper the Times bin find out say two refugees wey bin dey live for camp for Kenya bin fly to Europe, but dem tell dem say dem too dey malnourished to appear for di runway. Afta di modelling jobs don complete, dem go tell many oda models say dem dey owe dia agencies thousands of euros - as some contracts specify say dem go payback di money for visas and flights, dis dey usually happun wen di models start to earn money. Akol say she bin face a similar issue. Wen dem bin find her for 2019, di agency in question bin ask her to pay for different fees - fees wey she now know say agencies no dey normally request. "Dem bin ask me to pay money for registration, money for dis, for dat. I no fit manage all dat. I dey struggle, my family dey struggle, so I no fit manage all dat," she tok. Three years later, wen she bin dey live for Uganda, one ogbonge agency eventually scout her. Deng, wey dey help upcoming South Sudanese models produce portfolios, tell BBC say some of dem bin dey complain say dem dey pay dem for jobs wit clothes, instead of money. Many models also come up against anoda challenge - dia family perception of dia career choice. "Dem bin no want am and dem no want am now," Akol, wey dey live for London, now tok about her own relatives. "But we [models] bin manage to come up and say: 'We be young kontri. We need to go out and meet pipo. We need to do tins wey evribody dey do.'" Deng say di pipo wey dey live for urban areas don become more open-minded, but some South Sudanese dey see modelling as prostitution. Parents dey question di whole concept - dem dey wonder why dia daughters go dey "waka for pipo front ", im tok. Deng remember one young woman wey im bin dey assist wey bin dey about to fly out for her first international job. Di young woman family wey no happy say she be model, follow her to airport just to stop her make she no enta di plane. But, Deng say, di woman relatives eventually allow her and she don dey model for one top lingerie brand since. "Dis girl na actually di breadwinner of di family. She dey send all her siblings to school and nobody dey tok about am as bad tin again," im tok. Im dey "proud" to see dis model - and odas from South Sudan - on di global stage and although di industry dey cycle through trends, Deng no believe say South Sudanese models go go out of fashion. Goi agree, im say "increasing demand for diversity" in fashion dey. Akol too believe say South Sudan don come to stay, dem say: "Alek Wek don dey do am before dem born me and she still dey do am now. "South Sudanese models dey go a long way."
