beautiful beautiful model who's here today Karibusana and her name is actually Teresa and Jogu Teresa and Jogu you're so welcome to this set thank you so much yes I just wanted to ask you before people get to learn about you where can they get you uh well I'm on Instagram okay uh Teresa underscore and Junge okay yeah Junge yes Junge okay yeah Teresa underscore and Junge just Instagram yeah just Instagram okay so you guys you've heard that nice and clear and let's just dive straight in I wanted to ask how did you become a model how did it all begin this wonderful journey well um I think as any other normal young girl you start out from um wearing your mom's shoes uh trying on her makeup and passes so I'll say I basically began there but um after high school that's when I grew up I interested in modeling I'll actually wear heels to Nairobi and I'm going for a class really yeah heels to class yes so I was always on heels always on heels so I meet people and they're like hey do your model are your model I'm like not really so um from there I just started actually actively participating in modeling yes okay well just to let you know there's nothing wrong with wearing heels to class whatever you like do whatever you do right exactly all right and I also wanted to say um I heard that you actually have a few titles one of them being Miss J quad yes what year was that um that was 2016 2016 oh that's not long ago yes okay yeah how was that experience for you both the training and then the competition yeah also getting that title okay well um first of all I um I wasn't actually going to do the Miss J quads I think actually did it from pressure from my friends I like just try it you never know you know so I auditioned and then I went through training and then we got to the finals which are very intense by the way but it was a very very good experience and I I was I got the crown and I didn't feel oh god it's like the best feeling ever you know especially when you're not expecting yes exactly because I obviously never saw it coming yeah okay yeah and I wanted us to show the clip of um you getting the training done at J quad oh okay yes if someone can please run that as and I wanted to also know what what exactly they teach you are training oh in that video yes uh well that was actually um in 2017 uh when they were going through the training for the Miss uh Mr and Miss for 2017 I did pop up for a few tips uh huh yes all right yeah well I think that they've lost the video but I'm sorry about that I'm sure they'll find it somehow let's just move right along um tell me about your favorite photographer if you have one that one when you hear I'm working with so and so today yes good vibes it's just going to be amazing I know my photos will be a bomb well to be honest this will come as a surprise because um this this photographer calls don paul he don paul yes okay don paul he's uh on facebook at uh don paul photography he has amazing images uh and funny thing I've never worked with him but we have been in contact before so I think this might be the year when I'm actually going to work with him okay his work is just mind-blowing oh so that's someone you're aspiring to work with oh okay so and you said he's a Kenyan yes okay and speaking of Kenya your work is here in Kenya okay have you had a chance to move out of uh on modeling yes on modeling business no not really not really but it will come I'm sure it will come you're such a talented lady it will come at the right time uh so what is it like in Kenya I know that um modeling is something that okay right now it's generally accepted yeah and it's always been accepted my opinion but then there are those families where you have a little bit of opposition yeah or you have some people who are not comfortable with it because they have that let's say old school mindset yeah and they're like modeling is modeling really anything is it really a career and why do you want to go out there and do this you know is this really something you want to partner with our family name have you had any of those no no they were all for you yes wow that's wonderful I meet my aunties okay and my uncles when we're having the family get together they're like you're so pretty why are you not an air hostess or why are you not like an international model and like I'm comfortable with who I am but with the exception of growth you know yes so I've never heard um anyone telling me or um saying that modeling is not something that our family would normally do yeah so I'll basically say I've had my family in support you've had your family support all through yes that's great yeah that's great and how do you okay friends out there yeah now that we've talked about family how would they describe you as a person okay the one we don't see modeling oh the one who is a friend okay how can I behind the camera yeah how would they describe you I think they're the sweetest selfless person they know oh for real yes okay yeah all right that's wonderful so then and I have to ask this because I'm a lady okay and I know there are a lot of young ladies who are watching us right now please what are some of the ways you keep fit because your body is banging thank you do you do a particular exercise is there a particular routine that you do to keep yourself fit uh no no you're one of those lucky ones you can just stuff your face and nothing happens um actually I never had a routine like I wake up I'll eat this or I'll do this but I take a lot of water and I um I eat enough not too much just enough and I at least go for evening runs at least twice a week okay that's basically what I do okay yeah so all right and um I wanted us to move into the game because I want to see Teresa who is not the model but before I do that what is some of the advice you have for young girls who are watching you and they're thinking to themselves oh man I wish I could do this I really want this from the bottom of my heart what would you tell them how would you advise them maybe the first step that they should do and then how do they go about it okay so first of all um I mean they have to um be sure that they want to do it then the moment you actually identify that I want to go out and do modeling you start by you start small um go to modeling agencies if you can sign in with them sign up with them they do have um ready jobs um maybe promotions or um activations or whatever or even start um with photographers um I think when we're fast venturing into modeling it's usually advisable that you have um presentable um photos so you start with a headshot and a full body shot that will actually help you yes because mostly when there's modeling um gigs but say they first of all ask for your photos you see so your photos sell you fast and then when they do a short listing they will ask you now in person okay yes so start small start with the agencies you know if these um modeling auditions runway auditions go for the auditions if there's it's a beauty pageantry go for the auditions and plus keep trying I know a lot of people who do pageantry you know they go for auditions they feel but they still go because it's something that they really want to do like three years and on end they're still pursuing it you see because it's in them they just want that crown but then they can you know if they the time it's just uh good timing you know okay yeah so just go then just do it all right yeah so you guys have heard that thank you so much for that advice let's play a game with our wonderful wonderful Teresa who's up here with us it's a very easy game don't worry I can see the expression on your face you're freaking out a bit you're like hey what's this about don't worry I won't make you do like um something physical yes it's just some questions it's more like a trivia game a very very easy trivia yeah so this game is called body cherry I'm not sure why but that's the name of it and what I wonder okay how this goes is I'm going to give you some clues okay and the first clue I'll give you is the name of a celebrity the first letter of the first name and the first letter of the last name okay that's all I'll tell you about their name no no and then I'll tell you a few more clues about them okay we'll build up and if you're not getting there I'll tell you a very obvious one so don't worry there's no failing this game there's no failing you will do well either way okay so then the first one is her first name starts with L okay yeah and the last name starts with N uh-huh that's the first clue okay and this lady is a model uh-huh well not well she used to be at least I think she still is and right now she's actually very big in acting yes she's an actress well she started here then she became international she's one of ours oh my god she has won an Oscar crickets yeah wow okay I'll tell you this one I'll tell you this one but the next one is Guambi okay Lupita young oh Lupita young oh yes yes you see that was very simple and the next one is also one of ours okay and then became big out there as well and he's so big his name the first one starts with
