The zambia fashion week was my 1st fashion show,I worked on my walk 4 the longest time possible,once on stage I kept telling myself this,'come on gal!u were meant to do this,now work it!!I never gave any1 the chance to intimidate me regardless of the fact that I was the youngest in the show then.
.How do you feel about the controversy of the size 0 debate in the industry?
its sad that women go to xtreme lenghts to get 2 a size 0,I once had the same pressure wen I was younger n I was so unhappy,things r changing clients look 4 different looks and am glad I've never been turned down 4 not been the typical model size,I love my body n I work it!

If a young girl wanted to be a model what would your advice for them be?
