 Yes, welcome back we still carry on with your fix of entertainment special thanks to Hilda with ify and Kala Mival for that amazing segment to get a Wednesday starting on a laughing note as I always say if you happen to interact with the video that you think might break the views send it to us on WhiteFive 4 channel on Twitter WhiteFive 4 underscore channel on Instagram and WhiteFive 4 on Facebook it's time for my favorite segment of the week it's time for strength of a woman representing for the Queen's out here is Miss Tourism Meru County, Karibu Sana. Alright your camera is number four so just introduce yourself I'd like to give people a chance to introduce themselves so they can list all the things they have done. Okay my name is Fred Agashiri and my stage name most people names me as boss model as per the name state I'm a model I love modeling I appreciate beauty and modeling defines me I'm the current Miss Tourism Kenya in Meru County I am representing the Green Gold County the only country the Green Gold of course when you hear of Green Gold what comes in my mind it's Mira of course yes I have no background all right and besides that I'm a writer I write a lot articles and mostly I write poetry you can check my part in my website that is Fred Agashiri crown cause I've written so many articles there but professionally I'm a journalist I've done mass media communications broadcasts and electronics to be specific that's why I had to let you introduce yourself that is a lot of things you've done and I'm focused on the writing part what do you write about I write about daily occurrences and life generally life life generally yes is it your life or the life of the people you see around you life for the people and how the things are happening in life for example I've written about it's about tribalism whereby I'm encouraging people to stop tribalism it's a very very bad vice that should be shut yes so do you think you've interacted with tribalism in your in your line of duty or work um not really but to some extent I've seen people who when you are me pti or any she's an economy learning visually cool and be able to watch watch and so these are some of the topics you touch on all right when did you start this modeling thing or when did you figure out you can walk the runway and just do something great with your body and your looks I started back in 2014 when I was in campus Mount Canyon University I started in charge I started as contesting for miss MKUICS that is young chrisen student but at first I didn't make it but that did not stop you from me from going for what I wanted I I tried and then when I failed I went back and tried again and I made it I became a miss MKUICS 2016 2017 and then from there it was a church event and from there I contested for miss talent mania and from there I trained now for miss tourism Kenya and here I am a queen all right so you're a queen right here right so one thing I'd like to understand what is the role of these what are they called pageants beauty pageants right so uh sometimes the the the girls who can't get to to the stage or get to walk the runway sometimes they feel like they they feel lesser for lack of better words because they feel like the winner is more beautiful the winner has it all what is the role of these things is it to segregate from beautiful and the people are not considered beautiful in the streets standard wise that's really everybody is beautiful you are beautiful in your own ways god created us in his own image and we are all beautiful may it be your light skin may it be your your dark skin we are all beautiful in our own ways and in modeling that's why we can see nowadays not that's only less skin win or dark skin wins yes I was not really focused on the skin color I was just focused on that most of the people they have that perception that only the beautiful ones who wins but you are beautiful in your own ways you are perfectly made by god so you should have courage maybe they have their self-esteem they don't want to come out to show the people here I am they need to have that confidence to show people that so confidence is one thing confidence is one thing you have to believe in yourself you see before even people tell you that you are beautiful you have to tell yourself and believe and convince yourself that you look in the mirror in the morning and say I'm good look at the mirror and say oh yes I'm yummy yeah all right I like that I like your perspective on it so what is your role as miss tourism Kenya Meru County okay miss tourism in me in tourism we have so many pillars we have in fact we have six around six pillars of tourism the first pillar is tourist attractions it like in Meru County we have so many tourist attractions there for example we have the Meru national park it's a very very beautiful park that I would encourage people here in Kenya to visit because you're already doing your work promoting tourism in my country I would encourage people to visit because we have the big five animals there we have a nice lodges like the alba the the al sasa kobe lodge which is a very and it's written among the best lodges that we have in the country and in fact in east Africa it's a very nice lodge for you to go and relax during your holidays we also have another site like for example the mount Kenya the beautiful mount Kenya we are on the widower side of the mount Kenya you can organize the picnics go there for mountain hiking and all that it's a very perfect beauty site for you which is the pride of the country there's an interesting picture right here on screen and this is a shoot you did after taking the crown yeah yes all right uh huh so who styled you here I see you have the canyon flag rocking uh huh who styled you on this particular shoot thank you uh in styling alex style uh and class style and class and when it comes to styling since telly speaking I style myself even my makeup I do my makeup so this dress was made by you uh this one was made by this girl she's called Jackie and fashions yes or Jackie fashions shout out to Jackie fashions for this amazing dress right here this was post uh winning uh your your crown all right uh when was this held the the contest last year last year october last year october so this year october we are going to be having a different miss tourism kanya meru that's really miss tourism Kenya uh we usually ring for two years for to give someone a uh chance to to deliver you see it's not all about just coming then showing that you are a queen and that that is it there are a lot of things there are projects that we are working on that's where we are always given two years now the next miss will be 2020 all right so uh so you're going to be raining for two years you're going to be having a crown for two years what are some of your plans in this uh two years apart from promoting tourism in meru which is a very beautiful county uh with the view of mount kanya what are some of the things you have planned in your manifesto thank you I have so many things in mind for me that I'm planning right now uh like last year december I hand a charity event at Tory Children's Home whereby I was helping those kids we I encourage people and we went there thank you everybody who really showed up for the event it was really amazing we helped the less fortunate also in the society and also I'm planning for an event come next month about the keeper girl child in school at an initiative whereby we will be giving or supporting the girl child at cadela primary school in meru county we'll be encouraging the girls and also helping them to stay in school by giving them the sanitary pants to help them to stay in school without much trouble so you're very passionate about the girl child yes i'm dedicating the girl child i'm very passionate in girl child all right so what were some of the things that uh that it took for you to win this what were some of the things they were looking at okay the categories you had to go through to win or to carry the crown I think it's brains because brains was one of the things it's the main thing because there's nothing physical at all they look at it's not that much it's not that much but there's something physical about it definitely because you must know how to work with his confidence how to talk because now like you have those projects you got to go and tell people I have these for for you to present them you must have that courage to go and tell people I have this project like right now there's an event a project I'm really working on here in Kenya it about advocating for the right of the KDF soldiers who lost their limbs and arms when they were fighting for the for us in Somalia they were fighting with Alshabab and I feel some extent we as Kenyans we have forgotten these people and we owe them we owe them a lot they were fighting for our rights they lost their limbs and arms and I have not seen anyone coming out to support them which is very bad I'm going to play the role I told you I'm a journalist I will play the role of an advocacy journalist to advocate for the right of these people with my title as Miss Tourism Kenya so that they can at least get the artificial limbs the artificial limbs if possible limbs and arms so that they can feel I was fighting for these people and yet they have come back to show that oh they have come to show us the support because I feel to some extent we have really forgotten them I know it's not easy to do such a project because it requires a lot but I'm going to you know I always believe it's always going to try than never to try it's always going to try so something you're passionate about be sure to find out on Instagram maybe you can project Instagram or scheme be sure to find out on Instagram as Frida Gashiri Frida underscore

month yes what is this event all about it's a keeper girl child in school it's a mentorship or rather an empowerment program whether we will be encouraged or rather empowering the girl child in the school at Cadela primary school Meru County we're going to central to be specific all right what are we expecting to see at the event at the event we will be encouraging the girl child you see there are so many challenges that the girl child is facing right now in Kenya like the the sanitary we will be giving out the sanitary funds to them to promote them you see some of them since they come from their village girls they don't know or rather they can't afford these things so we'll be giving out to them we empower them so that they can stay at school without much struggle also we'll be giving some talk to them we'll be telling them about their future and what lies ahead of them apart from being in primary school you see they are they have a long way to go there is secondary school there is university so i'll be encouraging them to study or rather to work smart not hard always encourage them to work smart there is a big difference they can work hard but not smart so always encourage them to work smart to be smart in everything that they do be confident yes to be confident and to be to have a target on what they want in life and to expect anything of course in life because life has positive and negative things so i always encourage them to have c-cubed wherever i go i tell them they see cubed in life for you to succeed you must have c-cubed the first c break this down the first c is for the challenges you see everywhere you go there is there must be a challenge for you to succeed you must go there must be ups and downs and for you to succeed it would depend on the second c comes with choices what you choose from the challenges that you face as an individual what even as a company there must be challenges but what you choose from those challenges determines now the down to c is the consequences or rather the result the effects the outcome of what you choose from those challenges that's how it comes as a c-cubed the challenges what you choose from the challenges the choice and then the consequences what's the effects so choices have consequences you need to understand the choices have consequences choices are as a result of the challenges that you are going to face so what you choose may it be positive for a negative expect the result to be the same way so always stay positive what you give in is what you get out exactly wise words from miss tourism kenya miru county right here in studio with us miss frida c-cubed is a secret challenges choices and consequences yes interact with us on white five four channel on twitter white five four underscore channel on instagram and white five four on facebook don't forget to tell us where you're watching us from and especially if you're watching us from miru county you're represented on why in the morning right so uh you went to the national competition where we had uh 47 representatives uh for the 47 counties well let me say 46 because you are represented your own all right so you uh who won the the national one well uh west park odd she's called sarah kiaj sarah kiaj yes all right uh my the reason i ask is do you still coordinate with the rest of the representatives of the counties miss tourism we always work as a team we are working together in order to you see there are so many things that besides the project that i am doing as miss tourism miru county there are some projects that we are doing as miss tourism kenya remember it's miss tourism kenya then miru comes then mr pokots and others so there are some projects that you are doing um as a whole like now we handle um we are the piece also abbas does we are also we have we had also an event about planting of the trees we do it together we work together with the national secretariat for miss tourism in order to make or rather you see if you know i cannot say now i miss tourism miru county i'm going to do my own things no there is a national secretaries that does all this and it's awesome we work together all right so you work together uh to promote tourism in the country in the country and your own initiatives all right so people don't uh really understand some people don't really understand what this tourism thing is all about people assume it's all about national parks and hotels maybe you can expound on the pillars of tourism so people can understand that even where you're watching us from however however much dry it is however attack on our name you can still attract tourists yes all as i stated earlier tourism we have six pillars of tourism and the one is the tourist attractions that i have mentioned about their national parks and all that and then we have the culture cultural diversity which involves our culture you know in kenya we are very diverse in culture we have so many cultures that we have massai culture we have the miru culture in miru culture we have the people like jorin cheke who are the our council of elders they help they help us to solve the dispute that arise in our community which we don't have we are very very peaceful all right yes we have peace and unity in tourism peace and unity it comes in whereby we promote peace in our country we see for there to be we have also the investment opportunities investment rather like in miru country we have so many investment opportunities for for the investors who are willing and ready to come to invest in our county like we have now miru i welcome all the visitors miru is a tourist attraction for real a very big tourist it's a great gold and everybody likes gold yes especially all the foreigners have met in in kenya they they ask they always ask about this particular drug and it's a very now good opportunity for them to come and invest with us to so that's the we can process this mirror to choose why yes it's a very big investment opportunities to convert it to a juice that we can drink and order yes we also pick up the supermarket yes all right so that you don't have to chew it sorry all right so this is something that you is is underway it's something that you're planning yes yes sure sure to convert this thing into a juice yes all right my focus is though that even in the county where we don't have national parks they can still attract tourists through their culture through their culture through their investment opportunities through hospitality you see when you talk of hospitality is
