What has your experience been like so far and which challenges have you faced along the way?
It has been a refreshing point of my life. I enjoy doing something I’m truly passionate about and interacting with other models. The main challenge is getting recognized in an industry that is not taken so seriously in Kenya.
What do you love and hate most about this industry?
I love the fact that it’s an industry where you can achieve a lot through diligence and self discipline. I hate that the fact that it’s an industry which is not seriously taken in Kenya. And most people think models are call girls.
Which corporate brands have you worked with before in terms of brand ambassadorship, product launches or other runway fashion events?
Fotophreak Model Spotlight: Magdalene Mwithali will be contesting for Miss Blast JKUAT 2017/2018
I have participated in Wsen Africa and Net+ talent event in UON lower kabete.

What title would be your ultimate achievement in this industry and who are some of the people that you look upto as role models?
My ultimate achievement is to become face of a product/company.
Oprah Winfrey has been my role model of all time. One of her inspiring quotes that has empowered me in this industry that is looked down upon is – “You undervalue what you do, the world will undervalue who you are.”(she quotes)

Do you think modeling alone can be able to pay all your bills and what advice would u give to someone who is interested In this line of career?
Yes. Modeling alone can pay your bills. It all depends on how well you play your cards and your ultimate goal. I would advise them to go after what they are passionate about and always keep in mind that self discipline is key in the industry.
