What is style to you?

It is being yourself, confident and loking beautiful.

Define your own style

My own style is African and simple. I love to wear African prints in a Western style.

Your hair

I don’t have perms on my hair. I carry my hair natural. I could twist the hair, pack it or just comb it out. It depends on how I want it at that particular time.

Accessories

I make beads so I love wearing beads with western touch.

Who are your favourite designers local and international?

I am not a designer freak. I create what I wear. All I do is to tell my tailor what I want and how I want it.

Favourite perfume

I really don’t have a particular one. I like good perfumes though.

How do you relax?

I have my bath, stay home and watch movies. Sometimes I hang out with friends and once in a while, I read books.

How is your normal day like?

Once I wake up, I pray and read my Bible. After which I make jewelry like beads, hair pieces and bracelets. Other days, it could be music. Really, I shuttle between jewelry making and music.

Describe yourself in three words

Young, godly and beautiful.

What is your best colour?

I like earthy colours like brown, bronze and cream, especially bronze.

Make-up

I like my make-up light.

Nails

I carry my nails natural. Fixing my nails disturbs my bead making. Besides that I like it that way.

What fashion item can’t you do without?

I cannot do without my Mary K foundation. It sets the base for my make-up. I like that even tone it gives to my face.

How do you keep fit?

I drink a lot of water. Sometimes I exercise.

What puts you off in fashion?

I don’t like indecent dressing. By that I mean over exaggerated exposure of vital body parts.

Your kind of shoes

I love pencil heels.

Philosophy of life

God is everything.
