A:. I don’t think there was a particular pull or push factor that I can identify, rather its more of people who inspired me and my growth as an individual. However what I can say is growing up I had a lot of body shaming problems and then I grew up and accepted and grew in my skin, I guess that manifested itself into modelling, so there was more of a need to prove to myself so I guess that was my push and pull factor.

A:It was a big change actually, I had to sacrifice a lot of time to the pageant and it was expensive both financially and timewise, because between school, work and family I barely have time for modelling these days.
The Mr Zimbabwe was important pageant to me and I Ioved every moment of it.
Q: Unfortunately you didn’t win the title but you won the hearts of many as you were the most voted model ,what did it mean to you ?

A:Brand wise I’m still figuring it out on my next path, but my top agenda is on charity work.
I think we need to do more, as the youth, to advocate more, talk more , sing more about issues that are affecting us as young people.
That is something I’m really focusing on this year.
Q:Any fashion designers that you hope they dress you one day for red Carpert ?
