HEIGHT: 1.73cm

BIRTH DATE: 29th February

FAVORITE SCENT/PERFUME: Chanel No.4, Bulgari Rose & Bulgari Jasmin Noir.

HOMETOWN: Gaborone.

FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WORLD: Home.

LIFELONG DREAM: I Have So Many There Wouldn't Be Room For An Interview. I Suppose, Just To Be Successful In Everything I'm Passionate About And Above All To Be Happy.
BEST BEAUTY SECRET: I Have None. I'm An Embarrassment To Models The World Over.

ROLE MODEL/IDOL: Everyone In My Family. It Would Be Unfair Of Me To Choose Because Everybody Is So Different And They Are All Amazing And Inspiring Individuals In Different Ways.

EMBARRASSING MOMENT: 

I'm Not Easily Embarrassed. I'm The Kind Of Girl That Walks Around The Mall With A Free Hugs Sign So Its Hard To Pin Point Something..... BUT! There Was This One Time, A Few Years Ago. My Friend Bought Me A Dildo As A Joke & My Parents Found It. My Mom Is A Very Traditional Tswana Woman So Hearing The Word "Cock" Coming Out Of Her Mouth Was.............. Strange To Say The Least. She WASN'T Thrilled. Far From. Daddy On The Other Side. Grabbed The Dildo & Started Waving It Around Explaining That Masturbation Is A Normal, Healthy Part Of Human Life ESPECIALLY If It's "Keeping You Away From The REAL Bad Boys" *Face-Palm* He Suggested We Run Off To Game IMMEDIATELY To Buy Batteries For My "Special Friend". Oh God. Embarrassment
.
.What made you first become a model?

I Don't Think There Was A Moment When I Made A Conscience Decision To Become A Model. If There Was, I Don't Remember It. My Mom Is A Fashion Designer And Tailor So I Grew Up Around Beautiful Clothes, Stunning Fabrics And Lots Of Flea Markets. I've Always Loved Fashion And I'd Put On Little Fashion Shows For My Mom As A Kid. Poor Woman Always Sat Through EACH ONE With A Massive Smile On Her Face, Applauding Each (Probably Hideous) Outfit. Thanks Mom.

.How did you feel when you did your first ever fashion show or photo shoot?
I Did My First Ever Fashion Show When I Was 10-11. It Was For A Store Named "Origins" And I Was Doing It For My Friends Mother. I Remember The Camera Man Kept Saying I Was A Natural In Front Of The Camera And I Felt Confident And Just Had Fun With It. I Was Totally At Ease And I Had A Great Time. I Couldn't Wait To Do More Shoots.
.What are your guilty pleasures food Wise?
I Have NO Guilty Pleasures Food-Wise Because I Love ALL Food And I Don't Feel ANY Guilt AT ALL Whilst I'm Devouring  I'm Not A Weight-Watcher And I Don't Live By The Scale. I Eat What I Want, When I Want.

What beauty tips do you swear by?
Never Go To Sleep With Make-Up On (Although I Often Do)
Drink LOTS Of Water Everyday (I Drink At Least 3Litres A Day)
And Stay Healthy And Happy (Oh Come On, I HAD To Throw A Cheesy One In. It IS True Though)

If a young girl wanted to be a model what would your advice for them be?
I Think I'd Just Make Sure They Know That There's So Much More To It Than Just Walking Up And Down Or Posing. It's A Tough Industry And As A Young Woman You Need To Be Confident In Yourself, Confident In Your Beauty But Never Ever Stuck-Up Or Vain. Most Importantly, I'd Tell Her To Just Have Fun And Of Course, Create A FABULOUS Portfolio!

HOW DO YOU KEEP A FIT AND HEALTHY BODY?
I Already Mentioned That I Drink Lots Of Water. I Do At Least 40minutes Of Cardio At Least 3 Times A Week (Usually Running & Then Rowing About 4000m) And I Do Yoga Twice A Week. I Think It's Important To Stay Healthy BUT It Should Be Something You Enjoy Doing. 

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?
I Don't Think I Have "A Style" To Be Honest. I Always Dress According To My Mood So One Day I'll Be In A Cocktail Dress & Heels And Then Next Day I'm In Baggy Jeans And A Sweatshirt. Fashion Is Self-Expression And I Don't Think Anyone Stays The Same So Their Style Shouldn't Either. My Biggest Style Influences Are The Trends From The 40's, 50's And 60's! As Much As My Style Changes I Know I'll Always Come Back To Massive Afro's, High Waist ANYTHINGS, Cat-Eyed Eye-Liner, Waist Belts, Massive Hoop Ear-Rings, Etc

HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN A HEALTHY SENSE OF

 SELF-ESTEEM AND POSITIVE BODY IMAGE?

It Doesn't Have Much To Do With Me Really. I Have Such Incredible People In My Life And I'm Constantly Being Reminded How Beautiful I Am. I'm Honoured To Be A Combination Of Two Amazing People Who Are So Beautiful In My Eyes And Therefore I Truly Believe That I Am Beautiful. EVERYONE Is Beautiful To Someone And Life Is Too Short To Be Insecure About ANYTHING!
 
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVOURITE CITY IN THE

 WORLD TO VISIT AND WHY? WHERE WOULD YOU

 LIKE TO TRAVEL TO NEXT?

I Love Cape Town. I Haven't Been There In Ages But I'm Planning To Head Back Soon. If I Where To Live Anywhere Other Than Botswana It Would Probably Be Cape Town. I Can't Choose Where I'd Love To Go Next. I Love To Live And Experience New Cultures And I Don't Think There's A Country In The World I WOULDN'T Want To Visit!

 YOUR GOALS? WHAT ARE SOME OF THOSE GOALS?

I Think Everything In Life Is Inspiring. We're Surrounded By So Much Beauty Although Most Of It Are Blind To It. People Inspire Me, Not Just The Ones In My Life But People I Meet Or Even Just See And Hear About. Mostly, I Think I'm Driven By Passion. I'm So Passionate About So Many Things, About Life In General Really.
Some Of My Goals Include, Becoming A Known (And Hopefully Loved) Author And Script-Writer, Releasing At Least One Solo Album And Of Course Finishing My Course In Digital Film And TV Production (To Name A Few).
IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESERT ISLAND AND


 COULD ONLY HAVE ONE BEAUTY PRODUCT AND

 ONE FASHION ITEM WITH YOU, WHAT WOULD

 THEY BE AND WHY?

MASCARA!!! That One Is Easy. I LOVE Mascara. I Wouldn't Care If All Other Make-Up Dropped Of The Face Of The Planet As Long As There Was Still Lots Of Mascara Hahaha. And Fashion Item, A Dress. A Dress Never Disappoints Right? One Item And Your Fully Clothed. Dress It Up Or Down.

WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?

So Many Things Make Me Happy. I'm As Much Of An Extrovert As I Am An Introvert So I Love To Party With Friends, Meet New People But I Also Like To Stay Home With A Great Novel And Drown My Insides With Cup After Cup Of Tea. Above All The People In My Life Make Me Happy. I Know I've Mentioned Them A Million Times And Its Awfully Boring By Now, But I REALLY Do Appreciate Each And Every One Of Them And I Don't Know What I Did To Deserve Them.

which well known designers have you worked with and which fashion shows have u taken part in?

Locally I've Taken Part In The Donald Trump Model Expo, The Redds Fashion Show, Gaborone Fashion Night And Colour In The Desert To Name A Few. My Favourite Local Designers Are Botho, Black Trash And Delayna.
