I'm good, I'm so happy to be here we are happy to have you as well thank you so kindly introduce yourself to the people back at home so ma name is Nzisa Matulu I'm a fashion model I'm the reigning Miss East Africa Kenya Miss Elite reigning yeah Miss Elite Kenya and the brand ambassador Zikomo Awards among other things I've been doing I'm also ambassador to Viera Cosmetics which is a Transylvanian cosmetic company so I'm their face here in Kenya when I grow up when I grow up Sidiaki amizu weki wo na kwa ni kwa kazi ko utakosa how, how ages asa but you know these things also come with experience speed hd in modeling so yeah so let's get straight into the interview so how long have you been doing modeling and what pushed you to ask that direction? actually I would say professionally I've been a model for the last three years and what pushed me into modeling was like since I was born I had this passion yes unazaliwa like you get born and then it's always that so my character always was into modeling and my mother was like I really want you to be a model I really want you to participate in Miss Kichwi because I'm from Kichwi County but that time I was in high school so I couldn't when I went to Mount Kenyo University nili kwa kierere so I wanted to do Miss MKU masiko na yoku tembiana heels I feel you imagine so other girls were working in six inch heels for me ata kiten heels kiten heels nishida so I got kicked out of the auditions because of that really? yeah that's how it was I was so discouraged but now since I had this thing in me I still wanted to become a model I joined Salsa and Salsa Kizomba so with the moves I got to be my confidence nika yoku tembiana heels I think the first time I modeled in heels I didn't know how to do it and it was raining and it was wet I lost of course but it was good because I had a very good sharing squad sisi atu kutolo wajia heels because we had training so we didn't get chacked at the auditions level anyway you talked about your mum encouraging and supporting you kitambo parents did not support modeling what is that you're telling me you want to go to school do something like that have you received that? of course I did I was very confident I was very confident so my mum could see apart from leadership so when I was a school leader since primary the whole of high school but she saw the other side of me a character which I could portray out there more so she was modeling she told me she wanted to be there she said she wanted to be there so I was that kind of a girl so she would be like I want you to do modeling but at the same time she was like you have to study first and then your modeling ita puja badai I was still in campus but actually I'm with her so how has it been for you can you say that you're living a dream that you envisioned of course it has been tough let me tell you it has been very tough and now counting that everything I do I do by myself I'm living in my dream I'm not yet there but I'm living in my dream I'm so proud of whatever I'm doing before we get to the title that people have about models because these days I don't know at least back in the days when you talk about modeling it has a certain image to it skweziu na patakilam tu Instagram am a model kilam tu ni yung girls am a model I think Nikweli the image kwanzaimeku imia ribiwa in a certain way because every young girl when she wants to be popular or to be taken in a way maybe pretty they have to put kuna ita ita wana jipia am a model which actually in Afanya the real models now to be disrespected you'll find a young very beautiful girl having that potential becoming a real model but then the things they are doing on social media in the name of modeling it's very bad I remember actually there was a time I posted a picture of me on Facebook in a bikini and then to see the parents kuna ili akili tu akonayo ma dad was like I'm tired of seeing you naked in Facebook would you quit that thing called modeling because I knew this where it would lead to so unona kama mzazi anadyu ukiwa tu bikini kifika iyo level kumia ribika iya you see model so it's the image is different the ways people see it out there we are fighting so hard to to be received differently and with respect is there a way we can define what modeling is actually for me everybody has their own definition of modeling I will say modeling is a platform which an individual gives or pursues in life to do impactful projects in life which is changing or helping other people positively not just posing in clothes there is more to modeling there is more to that other than being beautiful posting beautiful photos there is more so talk to us about your kind titles and how you got them I'm so proud of that where is the crowd where is the sash I know but I have two titles right now I'm the current Miss East Africa Kenya and I'm the same Miss Elite Kenya so I wouldn't come here wearing the same sashes and the crown you should have brought one I will say my name defines it all Zisa carries Miss Elite Zisa carries Miss East Africa so I'm the crown we are sorry so I got crown Miss East Africa in Kenya last year there was not that one on one auditions but many models submitted the applications and they were looking for so many different things your career, what have you done what is your image out there can you really relate to the name Miss East Africa because you know these are the names which relate to the East African community and you can go to any office now so I got lucky to be selected to represent my country I went to Tanzania and I didn't win over but I'm so proud to be the top model East Africa and this has given me quite a lot of power I can go to any office I can talk to anyone from the East African community exactly people from the government from different countries Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya we've seen how you do can you come to an office and do this project so it's something which has opened so many doors for me and I worked with so many people when I was in Tanzania all the competitions were held in Tanzania they were held in Tanzania at Milimani city so it makes me feel good I'm East African I'm a top model and for Miss Elite I'll be representing Kenya in June in Egypt so I'm still on the journey to that there's so much happening now we're doing watching because at the end of the day for you to win that is more of how popular are you it's not now what you're doing it's how popular are you so I'm fighting so hard to get my name out there people cannot meet positively not just because of the loads so once you get into modelling the serious kind of modelling not commercial once you get a crown you need to have a passion project what's your passion project so actually even before I got the crowns I was so passionate about supporting the young people the creatives talented people in the music and entertainment industry I know it's crazy because I can't sing I don't know how to do a point you don't have to but I have this thing in my heart which is pushing me to support people and from that I got actually recognized by Zikomo awards from Zambia this really inspired me because I've always wanted to do something in my country we have a project on East African level to unite the East African creatives to speak one word because you'll find we have so many talented young people in a country and they would actually become big if you connect them with someone from Tanzania but how do you do this we need to have a project which is bringing them together and this was my idea but then I was luckily I got this Zikomo awards we've seen what you're doing you really encourage us and someone who is doing great into the society and we want you to represent your country as an ambassador of Zikomo awards and I was like amen this is what I was waiting for at least it's African wide international platform which we can now help to bring up the undiscovered creatives who are not known but they have proved themselves into different things so in general actually let me explain to you about the Zikomo awards so Zikomo means thank you in Zambia and it was founded by Daniel who is actually a chemical engineer and when he was in university he was just 18 years old he was an artist but an underground artist but no one recognizes you so he was like I want to start up a project which is going to undiscovered creatives being known out there so he came up with Zikomo awards which is touching people into arts humanitarias just in general people into entertainment industry and making them be recognized for the big things they are doing out there and now we are going to have stars because I'm going to make sure in our country we discover this talent please discover them and as you do you know this is a Kenyan show make sure that you bring some of them here because I will disturb you quite a lot because I know a lot of Instagram DMs so people ask me if I want to go I'm a musician I know a lot of people but I don't know but now since not only being an ambassador I have connection to all these big artists and I'm a very convincing human being give a smile to you don't do so I'll use my personality and the networks I have to make sure that all those artists or maybe people in humanitarians entrepreneurs they see the limelight or their talents they are shining out they are supposed to shine so we are going to do quite a lot events we are going to discover talents before the main nominations happen actually it's open in April but in June we have a big event in Nairobi everybody we are going to have a big event in June in June did you have a question? you look like you have a question I'm good you don't have a question?
