My name is  aged 15 and stay in Mufakose, Harare. I am currently in high school and am passionate about modeling because it gives us the the platform to express who we are. Modeling teaches people good social responsibility through projects like charity work and keeping our body immaculate by maintaining a good healthy diet. I am enjoying the model experience journey so far as I am networking with other models who are continuously teaching me new things. It was my dream to be model since i was a child and I grew up watching modeling shows which i copied as I practise at home. My mother asked me why i like modeling because she had a negative perspective about modeling but eventually got to understand the positive impact modeling has had in grooming me to be a responsible teenager with high self-esteem. I thank God that my mother came to realize my modeling talent and began supporting my journey.
Currently nowadays, I am seeing young childen taking drugs and its causing them to drop out of school not because of shortage of money but the bad choices they would have made in consuming harmful substances or drugs which eventually cause bad health or even death.
As a model I am encouraging young children to concentrate on schooling and charity work projects to help stay away from bad substances.
The modeling industry helps us to build our future succcessfully.”
