Tell us about yourself (where are you from, age, whatever you want to add)
I am 23 years old, from Kenya, Nairobi. Currently I Live in NJ. I fell in love with modeling from a young age of 12 years old but did not have any means to start at the time. I stared to actively go for modeling at the age of 20. I did miss NJ pageant and photo shoot events.

What is your biggest dream?
My biggest dream is to become a successful model in the industry. I would love to take any and bigger opportunities that will take me to places in life as a model and become one of the biggest and successful models in the world.
What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?
Everyone is beautiful in their own way. To be your own kind of beautiful is to be comfortable with who you are and embracing your flaws for they are what make you unique.
How would you describe your fashion style?
I would describe my style to be edgy with a dash of my African roots. I dress to my mood most days which are mostly bright colors.

My mom is the one who inspires me the most. She would do anything to achieve her dream.
What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?
The advice I would give to someone just starting is to not be disappointed and keep trying no matter what others may say.
Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.
I have overcome many years of insecurity and not being confidence enough to be myself. I learned to be me for I am the happiest when I am confident and myself.
What makes you beautiful/handsome?
The happy and most beautiful experience the scares of life that I have been through are what makes me beautiful for I still have my strength to keep moving.
What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
I would say we all have something we struggle with, but we can overcome it with hard work. If you are struggling with confidence, I would advise you to be yourself and not look at other people. Do not compare yourself with others.
