Passion of the Motherland: FREEDOM
Last weekend, I had my first fashion show since winning Miss Congo. I was so please for this experience to be shared with no one other than the BEFTTA award winning catwalk coach Reuben P Joseph. Passion for the Motherland showcased the best in both African and Caribbean fashion. I got to wear some stunning pieces by designers Fee Uhssi and Erwin Michaelec as well as others, and my hair was done by the unbelievably creative Keisha Des Vignes.
I met some lovely models, though determined to get their goal, they were very helpful in giving me advice on walking and more about the fashion industry from a models point of view. I learnt a lot about how it really is like back stage, it made me recognised and appreciate the amount of hard work that goes into putting on a successful fashion show.
I also got to share the catwalk with my inspiring big sister Miss Congo 2012 Sandrah G-e, like always she was giving me advice on the little things about the business that she is fully on her way in conquering.
I absolutely loved every minute of the night; it was definitely a learning experience that would shape me into a better model if I ever chose to go down that path.
I would like to thank Reuben and the rest of his team for granting me the pleasure to take part in this incredible showcase. Thank you
