 I pay for different celebrities in Kenya and outside Kenya. So this is for the first time where people are doing things for me as well. So it's such a new feeling, a new beginning. Everything is just new about it. Now someone sitting back home would want to know what does it entail? Alright, you are selected, you are there and out of 10 you became the only one who will represent Kenya. So what are some of the things that you people are doing? We've been given different projects, we've been given different questions. It's been a journey, it's not something that the team did not just say, you're the one going for it, so it's been a process. It's been such an amazing process and as you can see that's how I was quite heavy and now there's a big change. I'm happier with myself, like literally. True. Now with the questions and the activities that you've given, what were they? Were you in a gym? Were you in a class? What were you doing? No, the question is, one of the questions is, if you represent your country for Mr. Africa, what does it entail for you and your country? We've just been told we are over 42 million. I mean, I need to do something that would empower a young person or a member out there who thought it's not possible for them to do it. But if you put your mind right into it, definitely you can achieve anything you want. So it was kind of an audition thing where you went and you responded to these questions. Wonderful. So in your case, what will you do for Kenya? For me, I have two projects. One of the major projects that most people don't talk about is mental health for men. Which is okay not to be okay, but we as men are raised or put up together, not to show you're going through problems and stuff. I work with the Wellness Centre in Malindi called Shellahart, and Shellahart helps people mentally, physically and emotionally. So one of the major problems I'm going to tackle would be mental health. I think the high rates of people who commit suicide over depression, anxiety and everything are men. And this is a big problem that we don't talk about. True. We don't talk about it. I would like to have different forums where I can address that. My second project that I'm looking into is cancer. Raising awareness and raising more funds to help cancer patients. Because our main problem in Kenya is like cancer is not like what other people take it around the world. It's still more of a taboo. People are more afraid of cancer than HIV right now. Exactly. Yes. So we need to create more awareness and I need to have members of the public figures and politicians come on board and say, it's possible we can do this like the rest of the world is doing it. My third and final project that I'm looking into is to assist a school in Malindi. It's a celebrity policy school where they have special kids with special abilities. I went to that school and it just melts at my heart. It was something that I would look into the school. Before we get particularly into this project you wanted to do last month was a mental health month where we were looking into these things. Now in your case what did you do or what did you want to do but maybe things never worked? What I did actually is I have a number of people that are looking up to me and I didn't know this like I knew it last month and people have been writing to me saying like oh my god you're such an inspiration keep going keep doing you because when I began this journey like nobody believed in me and that was one biggest challenge that I think young people are facing is we are tall things and we intend to believe what we are tall like when I when I did this for the first time and I told my family and friends I want to do this I was told I'm a dead dreamer it's not possible like me and my weight and everything there's nothing that I can achieve now look at you now exactly but if I had still had that mentality that I had a few months ago I don't think if I'll be here today it's been like so hearing that from people out there like believing in you and people pushing you is such an amazing experience and knowing that I have not even I'm not it there but I'm still inspiring people that is such an achievement for me true now you mentioned about cancer and this is something that has been talked about by even our politicians how they will do it now in your case what's your strategy in ensuring that maybe Kenya is cancer free or we are controlled fully one of my plan is to use like I would love because I've been in the entertainment industry when you look at the outside world like the America Europe celebrities come together and they raise fans and this are fans that are being monitored and to make sure that they reach the cancer patient gets special treatment one of the things like I've not had like major family member having cancer but I have like had close family members who've gone through cancer and I've seen how people suffer and it's not something that you would want your loved one to go through so I think it's time as a country as the generation we are today to be free to talk about it the more we talk about it the more easy people would benefit the more information would get out true yes all right the same question I will move it to other projects that you want to do like a cerebral palsy we have organizations we have movements in this country they have been there but also there's something that I could see it's kind of seeking we see these people being used by their maybe relatives or people close to them to source funds and they never benefit we have we have a country where we'd want to see people with disability and especially now that you're speaking of this project how will you now work maybe with the government or how will you work with now and government organizations to ensure that these people are catered for and no one takes advantage of them yeah one of the projects that like really made me fall in love with this course was Allah fashion and New York fashion week was a few months ago and the first show of New York fashion week had these children walking the runway this was the first time this has ever happened so that just drawed my attention I said this is a positive movement I went round in Malindi and by the time I got this school we they had a fundraising they were raising funds because they feed this children they give them breakfast they give them lunch and a snack before they go back home at 4 but the main problem the lady who's actually behind it is she's really like really really trying her she's giving it her all but it's like what most people see with this children is like a taboo again like most of the parents who in this school are single parents women who their men left because the men said this is not my child like there's nobody in my family who is disabled or has this so it's a really a struggle and this women most of them don't have source of income that would actually help them run the project but if we come together as a community and raise fund like I'm sure like nowadays most of us can afford 500 shillings but there's somebody back down there that cannot afford 500 shillings so I don't want it to make it like a money a money-making project but it should be more of a community benefiting project true yes all right I know when you win when you become now mr.
