She is a commercial model She is actually a youtuber. She's going to tell us what her brand is on YouTube. Karim Sana. It's Jean Ojiro Thank you. Wow. What a beauty man. Thank you. Oh my gosh. I think I've complimented her too much today Wow, I love you look I love you swank everything. Thank you. Yes. How tall are you? Can I ask 511 without this? 511 without the heels and then with the heels you're 6 1 6 1 6 2 I'm not your manager To go to go almost You did it I forgot to mention that our guest is actually a dancer but we're going to focus a lot on his idea to be an aspect as well as a commercial modeling aspect. Let's dive right in. Sadia, oh my gosh Mrs. G and let me ask you how long have you been doing commercial modeling to be here? It's been approximately half a year. Half a year? Yeah just half a year but in that half a year I feel like I've achieved quite a bit. Okay. So the thing about me was I was so fascinated by ads before and the mistake I had was hoping that one day I'd be discovered. So it's exactly hoping and that's the mistake that so many people have here. So one day as I I think I was watching an ad or something and I said oh I'd love to be on an ad and my sister said then you should go get signed because nothing is going to happen to you where you're sat. So we actually went to an agency and I was signed and last year I went for so many auditions and luckily three of them were successful and they were really really amazing brands to work with. Safaricom, Guinness and Coke. Safaricom, Guinness and Coke. Yeah. Wow three ads and bam bam bam. Is that where I've seen you on a Coke ad? Have you? That's where I've seen you. I was like mom and your face is way too familiar up in the streets man. Oh okay see. Oh my gosh what a celebrity app you meant. Oh okay okay please can we continue to talk about your model in Korea? Yeah. I kept telling you when you're outside that yes you did tell me of your commercial model I was like mom and your international standards are going to me like if I was the one who was sourcing models out if I was the one who was you know the owner of Vogue or Chanel or something I'd be like hey get me that one there. So please tell me how has it been and do you have any plans for venturing into international modeling? Yeah definitely definitely actually it's my goal for this year by the end of the year to have gotten an international modeling gig and I'm hoping I'm really really hoping that I could venture into runway modeling. Yes. Yeah yeah yeah so definitely definitely hoping I can get an international gig by the end of this year. By the end of this year. Yeah. Can I ask you are there canyon models who have gone out there who you feel that you aspire to that you look up to or it doesn't have to be a canyon model is that particular international model that you look up to? Naomi. Naomi. Oh my gosh. She likes it. I know I don't have the height but I think it was like two days ago I was watching her do the um the Robotic Availage show. That girl can strut. Hey and she looks younger than me. Yes. How? She's like 14 what? Like oh my god I can understand why she's a role model for you. She's just she's so flawless like I just love watching her. She's definitely definitely her. Okay. Yeah. And then also let me ask you do you have a particular interest when it comes to how can I say helping Kenyans out when it comes to the modeling industry because I know our industry when it comes to modeling is not very seasoned. There's still some things we need to clear up a bit especially when it comes to things like contracts and sometimes our girls they they're being told oh yeah Masi I'm good starting up to be a model you've got all the girls you're perfect and you know she falls for the whole trick she goes and follows this person it's a scam. How can one tell the difference between a real modeling gig and a scam? I feel like you should always have someone to help you. I personally whenever I get a job or someone who wants to work with me I ask my sister. So yes and a lot of people don't realize how important having a contract is whenever I'm asked to do a job or I get a job I make sure that one I have a contract and I take photos of it. Yeah because a lot of people sign the contract and give it back and there's nothing that you have to show for it. Exactly so you're always supposed to take photos of it because it will show the time maybe you're supposed to be paid the duration that for example if it's a commercial how long it's supposed to run for and such things shouldn't be breached. So you should always always try to find someone maybe if you know someone who can actually legally help you as well to see whether it's true to help you but I feel like you should never ever ever do any job no matter how small without a contract. Without a contract. Yes no matter how small it must have a contract. It must have a contract. Right and that's important for our viewers you know because I know there are a lot of young girls out there who want to get you into modeling like any there's also a lot of scammers out there with scam or young girls. So thank you for pointing that out and speaking of doing things properly in our industry let's move into a different area that you're into. So you're a multi-faceted woman you're also a YouTuber aren't you? Yeah I can talk about your brand on YouTube. Yeah so actually I started my YouTube channel it's about to hit three years. Yeah I know so the way I started my channel was a bit funny I started it out as a dance channel. So there's this dance dancer if I can call him that is a he's called Master Fanina and I will yeah do you know him? No I just like the name Master Fanina. Yeah so I was obsessed with watching his dance videos and the thing I liked most about him was that other than other dancers he would put tutorials of his dance videos. So each time he'd put a tutorial out and spend like three four days three four days in the kitchen trying to learn the routine then I'd post it on my channel and looking back at those videos they weren't the best. Yeah they weren't the best and at that time I was really really shy in front of the camera like I couldn't speak to the camera so I just danced I wouldn't even do an intro or anything and as time went by I realized that I was getting more and more confident to speak that's when I actually started vlogging and doing different kinds of sit-down videos because I realized that I was more comfortable to speak to the camera. So up until now sometimes I do vlog sometimes I do dance videos that's kind of a balance. Sometimes well sometimes dance videos yeah all right then I guess we have to talk about both okay don't we okay so when it comes to your dance videos you said that you should you should come in no intro I don't know what to do nothing and then you just switch off the camera but done tell us about your learning experiences because now you've had to move out of that you've had to be our most seasoned and a better um I can't say someone who is well versed when it comes to YouTube what are some of the challenges you had when you are I guess trying to transition from this amateur youtuber into a professional youtuber one of the biggest challenges that I've had and I have to date is sometimes you'll spend two days sleepless editing a vlog and think it's perfect wow I thought people don't even like it and you're like um you're crushed my chest yeah that's a big challenge I feel like trying to find something because no matter what you put out there's definitely people who like it and people who not but each time it hurts when people don't you know because regardless you're like I put so much effort into this of course yeah so that's some of the stuff that you've experienced when it comes to challenges so when it comes to vlogging what what uh why did you pick the topic that you picked when it comes to vlogging because sometimes people you know like um if I open a cooking channel there's a reason why I've opened it maybe my mom was into it then I grew up being into it so I decided to you know open one so yours started with dancing and then it became a vlogging channel yeah and so how did that come how did uh the whole youtube journey come along okay so my vlogging aspect is in two ways one is like lifestyle basically what I do day to day and two is fashion so I can start about fashion definitely I'm really into fashion I can see you look pretty dope thank you so I like looking good so I usually try to get unique topics like a DIY to turn this into that or how to style this because I feel like it reflects me directly right yeah and the other aspect of my life is just my lifestyle vlogs which is literally taking people to my day to day activities I know which question I want to ask from that lifestyle but continue yeah taking people to my day to day activities and I feel like that's what people enjoy the most just seeing the real you you know you do normal things at a normal place and I feel like it's just I enjoy sharing what I do with people okay yeah that's great and and since you enjoy sharing what you do with people and you have a lifestyle area that you vlog about I'm not going to ask any very personal questions but I will ask because when we're talking out there I was like you have a bomb body and everything do you have a routine that you follow for your workout I listen foods you keep off of because I know me if I'm going to have to look like that is wow a lot of work I need to do and so can you please share with us some of your secrets kamakunas or am I you just naturally born one of those so firstly definitely genetic I have to say and this year I've actually really really really pardon the first thing you said genetic yeah firstly it's genetic because my mom has a really nice body and she has four kids so you've got it from her she looks better than I do so mom of her four kids is still flat timing wow she go girl and then this year I've really really really been trying to work out because I personally love junk food I can have that every day so I've really really really been trying to work out and been trying to avoid food that isn't the best for me yeah so I'd really I'd like to encourage people to try that like don't just start one day and say today I'm not eating this and that today I'm going to work out every day of this week like just start slowly and I feel like gradually it'll start getting into your system like I started in January and I still miss some days sometimes you know I'm just trying to be more consistent but it's a challenge it's definitely possible it's possible so you do work out and you do eat right and also some some of it is genetics yeah try to eat right try to eat right apart from the chip oh okay so uh can we talk about your instagram page as see has been pulled up oh okay genie so it says dancing makes me happy with a nice smiley emoji and then I can see fashion page is very underscore me underscore fashion I can see dancer I can see stylist and model the area we haven't talked about is stylist yes you you know you're into fashion and everything but what about the stylist area okay so I've not done too much in the styling department but from time to time people come to me from like style of advice and things of the like and I feel like I'm usually better at giving style advice than physically styling people ah yeah okay so you don't like go and get a couple of outfits for whichever you know celebrity and you just kind of point it out like you might want to pair this with that yeah aha okay yeah okay see who is that is that you're doing a handstand it's the dance video oh my gosh yeah is that you yeah wow okay I think I think our producers are trying to play let's watch okay I'm interested in that that looks hard to do man it's not I mean James surely it's not it really isn't honestly sometimes the knees hurt yes because that's a lot of knee action yeah but then I feel like the body slowly adjusts the more you do it the more your body adjusts okay a little booty pop yeah oh that's dope you're really talented thank you you're really talented these are actually two dances that I mixed up from two different classes that I attended the first one is by a girl called Ayoma Ayoma and the second one is by a gentleman called Neddi so I attend dance classes by then what kind of style of dancing is that I don't know if I could call it a mix of afro yeah it's something like afro fusion kind of afro fusion with something yeah afro and contemporary something yeah oh okay wow jean the stylist and dancer the model this is ruby okay I love watching her dance she has so much like attitude when she dances I love it you can see the attitude yeah and she's also very fluid oh definitely yeah definitely looks like water this is actually after a dance class so we launched this routine and then we're shooting it but this is a nice way to keep fit yeah I think if you're doing this like a couple times a week I don't even know if you need to hit the gym four times a week yeah I don't think you need to hit the gym it's a pretty good workout yeah yeah so this is what you do on your free time mm-hmm okay so higher jean now let's talk about serious things before we move into a game um hi um you know when it comes to the modeling industry and the challenges that our youth are facing mm-hmm we had talked a little bit outside and I want you to touch on that issue again when it comes to younger people okay people who have dreams and you know people have dreams yeah yeah and the the beautiful girls out there who who maybe have really beautiful bone structure who could also make it as a model but you know they don't have the confidence that you do and maybe they don't have the know-how that you do because you have that know-how matters if you pick a contract photo you know they don't have that know-how so now um if you could encourage them just a little bit I would really appreciate that because that's what this channel is all about because when you're getting say you want to go on a rock of what a hopper you know but they are your age mates and you you've woken up you've thrown in your way down here and that's what made you who you are today okay yeah do you mind giving our people a little jabble encourage me I definitely don't mind that's your camera babe ah so I face that okay so firstly what I'd like to say is if you want to do it the only thing you should do is it just do it you know a lot of people spend so much time wondering should I should I not if you're thinking about it then you should be doing it just look for that confidence to do it and then another thing about modeling either commercial or runway whichever you'd want to venture into I feel like you should do a little bit of research about it go look for agencies I'm sure when you search it like Google it you'll find so many different agencies the thing is you're able to approach them it's not a must for them to approach you so you can actually find their emails and the likes send them their portfolio your portfolio sorry and tell them that you might be interested in working with them a lot of agencies have that in their bio they ask you to send them their portfolio and if they're interested in working with you then they will and then I feel like you have to be really really really persistent like I go for at least one audition per week and if it's not fruitful don't lose hope because you can't get every job that you go to apply for I'm certain everybody who's big anywhere has gotten so so so many nos but I'm never ever discouraged like yesterday I went for two auditions just always keep trying keep trying and the only person you have to believe in is yourself don't feel like or someone else told you you can't do it or someone else feels like you're not good enough to do anything don't let that ever ever discourage you so basically if you want to go for it just do it and the time is now you'll never be ready there's never going to be like oh let me do it next week I'll be ready no if you feel like doing it now just do it now that's the best I can give for now thank you that's powerful advice I'm seeing that you touched on procrastination not your procrastination is is a is a serious issue for you serious one thousand next week and ten thousand next month and ten thousand next year and then like it's five years down I'd like to ask you one last very important question and then we're going to take a break and then we're going to start a game after the break and that last question is you love games yeah oh good I'm so happy thank you for being psyched even me I'm psyched okay love you honestly man this game makes my Friday every Friday it's just real it tells it like it is how you feel how you feel how you feel hi my dear that last question is this yeah what are your plans for the next two years because you've spoken to people that they should stop procrastinating that means that they need to sit down they need to get a diary you now need to start having a planner exactly you need to start putting appointments down you need to use you need to use your alarm clock now if you have to you know so what are your plans for the next two years we seem like a very ambitious person yeah definitely so my plans for the next two years firstly definitely to still be doing youtube hopefully having my channel growing a little bit more secondly i'm hoping to be international in terms of modeling as you'd asked me before it's something that i'm really really really thinking about and thirdly i'm hoping to be studying media okay yes because that's something that i'd like to do as well media as well yeah oh you do great you're going to study media journalism yeah that's wonderful that's wonderful you do great in the industry three plans for the car two years to come where do you want to study us are you or a dexter uh-huh okay okay good dexter you'll find me but it is serious not my z thank you so much for um giving that advice we're going to go on
