 This is the way to do it. This is the way to do it. This is the way to do it. It is very exciting to see young people laying a foundation to land on after school even when the jobs will not come swiftly. Today we have Abdullah Ali who is into fashion and design and guess what he is doing? He is a student of accounting and finance. Abdullah, you come to match a child's son. Tell me a little bit about your childhood. Okay, a little bit about my childhood. Who am I? Because this is the photo of Gina Abdi. Okay, so Abdi is a short film. Okay, I am Abdullah Ali. I am back at home with Gina Abdullah and Gina Dula as in how many nicknames is after Gina Dula. But it is how I used to present myself to people. Appearance. It is who I am, maybe or maybe not. I believe the dressing also gives a part of our personality. Our personality, yes. But me, I would say more about my childhood. It has given me like a personality to people because it has not been me being classed as an economist. You can see majoring in modeling, growing up with people who are financially well off. How did you get into fashion, styling and commercial modeling? Give us the back story. There are two different stories. Okay. Styling and commercial modeling. Actually, commercial modeling in a trace is way back. Me, me modeling and finding a way to ease up my feeling like we talk out to the society. Instead of diverting into drugs or other things that Kenyan youths are doing so easily, I chose to like end up to a fashion industry with my body. Actually about styling, you all know me, I'm very interested in modeling because I used to have a friend. This friend of mine is my friend who is interested in modeling. He is Mr. and Ms. Freshman. And he was there, he was confused, I had to come and say no proof. He has a linear approach when it comes to your interest. Yeah, so I can interact now to engage in a mix of stylists. So unfortunately, the stage you're going to be in, to let me lose any stylist and make up an industry, make up an idea to gamble. So I end up in a hook up and I can end up broke. We're what you are doing good, but and fortunately for you, Mr. and Ms. Freshman was in University 2019, if I remember, that money is my album, Mr. Freshman. Wow, that's so inspiring. Yeah, what I used to do during that time, the name of my last friend, I'd say my teacher, actually what we did, what I was doing the most. Really, I made it to the top number K major, but I don't know what to say. I don't know what the future of it was like. Oh, man, the Apple, Freshman, you know, who co-inspired, who co-stylist, and who challenged, but I don't know what to say to the stage, who co-horried. Say, you're Uzzuri, I look at me, it's a traditional example to me, I did my art, also acting. It's fine, come on, be a work. It is the art in the final company. After a sense, I was close, I'm at the heart of the thing I was doing, you know, traditional, we are Kenyans. So the tradition I put, I portrayed Apple, as in, it impaled more to the courage, to feel confident. So styling, Ilians, you have to evoke, come on, chairs over here. Sorry, I can't, it's interesting, it's a bunch of challenges too. You know, I used to call the shoot stylist, and I'd be like, hey, who's the stylist? Who's the stylist? Who's the owner? On a Monday morning, I'm in Kakotidana, wearing a stylist, talking to the shoot stylist. On a Monday morning, I'm in a class, a model, talking to the shoot. You see, those are the things that I do, as in, I throw my stylist, on the stylist's part, that is. So let's talk about modeling, male modeling. You may say, I'm a model, but on a class style. So male modeling has been there since the first century in Kenya, but it's still a challenge. What can you say about that? Clearly, me, I say I'm two percent of the Kenyans and women, the word modeling. After the way we have brought up, it can be, I'm a model, that's good to, you see, like society in here, my dad used to tell me, what are you doing? And I'm here, where, where? Yeah, so there are different types of models. Some models, models who endorse a product, or maybe at a perfume, so what type of model do you use? When it comes to that question, I believe, because I'm an art, I think art, I do commercial modeling, postals, I appear in postals, I appear in art parts. What I'm yet to do is the endosing part, that is my next project, I'm endosing for my own company, as earlier you said, I don't include them, so I have other plans, you can tell us about your plans, we are here about you, for now that is a little bit confidential, it's a little bit confidential but I have a plan, I have a company coming up and I'm planning to be my own endosment model alongside my allies that maybe later you can reach out to them or maybe you can see them or maybe show the people who they are, they are very amazing people. You talked about class size modeling, what is that, how did it come about? I'm not saying that I don't have a class size model, I'm just saying that I have extra money, when will I be able to have a class size model, but actually I'm not going to be able to have a class size model. I represent the class size, I talk of the class size because it's the only one for me. When I have a feeling confident about what I want to do, what I want to achieve after a while is to be comfortable, I want to be comfortable, I want to be comfortable, I want to be comfortable because I have a feeling security, I represent, I stand out for the class size. That is actually a good point, in the endoshaft scene, come on any more then you have to be a specific class. Do you know how to do it? Yes, I know how to do it because I'm cute and I'm not alone or something. Do you know how to do it? Yes, I know how to do it because I don't have energy to work out. So I'm challenging, a class size model, I'm challenging to talk from that shape to this shape. So someone like Francis Lee Baker on Instagram, a class size model, as in me, what does he do? I don't know how to do it, I don't know how to do it. I don't know how to do it, I don't know how to do it, I don't know how to do it, I don't know how to do it. In this industry, you've been to costars and stuff like that, so what does it take for one to succeed in such a thing? Patience. Come on any more, say more. Patience. Securacy? Securacy. Killum-S. You see killum to me judge. Killum to attack you for me, and killum to me, and end you all third. And I'm putting all of them in the middle. But a class size, yes, man, tell me any more. Apart from patience, say who don't be a, nightingale, a person, a nightingale, I assume I want to be a model. So what do I need? Do I need people? Do I need advertisers? Do I need a manager? What do I need? You need self-interest. I want to do this to restrain myself from being somewhere else. So actually at a person, an artist still has him a corner person. You know art, you can collect anything. If you want to do something art, you don't have to picture yourself. The little you have, whatever the sources, you can start with anything. So to me, I'd say financial, if you want to do something, you need finances. If you want to go to an extent where you don't want to do anything, you need money. If you want to do something, you need money. If you want to do something, you need money. So I think of course, finances is an energy for the industry. If you want to look good, let's imagine that there are 4,500. If you look here, it's 7,000. So for me, as an artist, I just need pieces that you can bless and value. And what about the fortune? What about the fortune? My father is a supportive dad by the way. If you want to do something, you need money. I won't say I come from a very poor family or a rich family. I'm just speaking out for the average family. We know majority people who come from an average family. My father is an average family. So if you want to do something, you need to survive. So I come from that type of a family. So for me, my type of a family is the education. I want to be a better family. I want to be a father. I want to be a president. I want to be a bank manager. I want to be able to do whatever I want to do. So my support, most of my support comes from my closest ally, my father is a slow learner and I have to have a Brandon Lee. He is a guy I strangely met. His other story is very funny. Being with him, he made the sense of the word. He encouraged me. He encouraged me. He encouraged me. He encouraged me. I don't know if I'm the family or the average family. I lost my mother. I'm that I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't look like that. I was that silent guy and I'm I'm like you walk around because I lost my family. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I believe my mind functions more than what I can see. I believe my mind can work way better, way better than if it were to the right audience. I believe you are the right audience. I am the right audience. So it all begins. It all begins. Yeah true. Very true. The Omana Tuome say mas ikai mi tupeni ako, mi intumpai. Cos mi jaan i na... Napa na pole pole, ni pole pole, mi jaan i tu... Pole pole, waz yi lala wam do kona nebu? Waz yi lala wam tu expect tukona masharu bukila maali? You cannot. It takes time. The correct arrangements. So what can you tell a yang parcel who is out there? Striving to do what you're doing, I'm going to feel like a cage for you now. In all cases, we may be at the goal, it's the same way we may be at the goal. The same way we may be at the goal, it's the same way we may be at the goal. But we must put a lot of courage in building yourself over time. If we are able to manage our own life, we will be able to live our lives in peace. If we are able to live our lives in peace, we will be able to live our lives in peace. Well, to the young people, the old ones, because I believe we cage symptom, no go back there. If we are able to make sure we are cage for 40 years, nims, we have powers, they will be able to do that. So, don't listen to what people say, your code is art, you live in yourself, you are more than what you think, whatever challenge you have got, see mara moja, see mara billi, whenever you feel that you are still farmka, on a fresh day, na futata kani ki la inti moja ki na kukush through your day, like for me personally, kiamka subui, ituna angaliya ko sinue, ang kimi status here, my closest friend, my ally, kimi alia ni limensha, na kaliya lewa me jume ka kukusha, yabunia nga lindike, na kaliya na ona sinue, eh, out and about, ama ni ona, looking good, looking fresh. So, don't have to come and go, like, come at your friend, ko juhia na futia ni, lakinia me amuka mejipia yo mo tisha, looking good, looking fresh, eh, the name Tuesday, eh, by the way, my friend is a model, and a trainer, as I've said. Do you dress him too, ama, na kumi awei, ka uko yuma. It is, it is, it is, it is unadjo alia, alia nulizak ama na nai fana teki ango ama, with a team. Yeah, so, I, for, for me, it is the personal drive, in elini peleka, towards the team, we have a very big team. We have an agency, the most, agency, the modeling agency, in size, the majority of them may be, at the quote of the number of the models on a pet, who are Mr. Ms. Maseno, in a premier weekend. So, like, eh, I just love it. So, it's about kushikunia, kushikana, kushikai. So-so, Kushikunia- übrigka, kushikunia, kushikunia. we do, we do something each other. You know Kuzu's stuff. And Vaso has three other people. Yes. F a buy Marino, N you know, like he's my voice and I'm the hero, you see how many phones I'm on, and I appreciate it. So today, I hope that you should also look for someone like that. You can look for someone like that, Alma, where your money is at, what is your energy and concept? What is your energy? What is your energy? What is your energy? What is your energy? I don't listen to those songs. Exactly, I don't listen to those songs but that beat that I captured. I don't listen to those songs but that beat that I captured. So those are the people you should have. Plus, a great person, I believe, to come as the creator of your God's brand, the God's brand, which is a very big brand, I believe, for the classic people and the Chilean people, what we're gonna put up in the library, what we're gonna put up in the library. And there's no speak-march, I'd say that, but content, a cornering, and a fairer world, because, you know, a world designer, international level. So you've talked about masters, master seed, right? Is it on the accounting side, or the fashion side, and what are your plans, five, ten years ago? When you see about the master seed now, I say that is an agency, right? At the end, the agency is a team, that is a team, but now when it comes to the project, that is something else, aside from the agency. You see, master seed is something that is growing. So it's the same in the project here, because I have a million, million people joined, unfortunately, because of the agency, yes, as the mama born there, So the project, actually, I'm creating a car dealership company on the finance side, every time. See, from Amanda Kampala University. So, like, and as I'm paying ideas, so he's like, so even if you're challenging, if you're working, create your company. Gina's hit a disclose, because it's something that's released, but it's a project. And I believe in a mix, finance and a fashion, because it's a book, we're going to display your company, which is a way to express. We're going to present the audience. So I just use my team, the rest are not there, they're not close, because it's something new, something fresh, something, I don't know, I really don't know, it's something, I mean, but my brain, how it functions, to know an excitement, and they're also excited for you. Actually, I am very excited to see what you are up to, I'm actually very, very interested to know more about what you do, because you've talked and then you're here telling me you're an introvert, and you're like, no, this is a big lie, but I am so appreciative of what you have told us, your story, your backstory of how you had to actually bring yourself out to the world in confidence, despite everything. Thank you so much. I appreciate you coming here, telling your story of how you came from down there, feeling unwanted, feeling lowly of yourself, and now you're actually dressing other people for them to feel confident about themselves. Thank you for coming to the show, and to my view out there, it's not about your strength, it's not about you winning immediately, you can be at the lowest point of your life, but I can do this. As he said, do not be in that cage for long. The way you entered me to that cage is the same way you can get out and you can fly even further. Thank you so much. This has been News In Action. I am Nongua Sokremis.
