We bring your weekend on a weekday but tametwambiya. We are not just bringing a weekday on a weekday. I was watching a little bit of December. Leo. Nare jiz yame kwa nufama na bai ebu. Yes. Kama fwa. Tensana. We have very, very lovely looking people on set. Allow me to allow them to introduce themselves, but they're from an agency called Second Option and I've had the pleasure of working with them before, but now it's a brand new set of people with pretty faces. Uta jifi chasura na wenimu, mister, e ba na tu kwangalewenimu sopo, trakoza tuwanze yo side, hi! How are you? I'm fine. What's your name? My name is Sian Kamau. Okay, Sian Kamau.

And I'm the pigeon coordinator of Second Option Agency. So na shikili yang atumado, atuna kato. Alright, and you are? Hi. Hi. I am Yasin Muhamed. All the way from Bungoma County. Bungoma. The current. Muna kanga yubi. Ya, Bungoma tuna kaga yubi. Wungombaya. Waluya. Musinita, by the way. Musinikuji. But ay, muna kanga yubi. Wala. Tuna kaga yubi. Why? Ya. Nne tizanga pungoma 20 kopi ya. Ima tukitaftia gig. Tukitaftia. Sawa. I see you wearing a crown. Ya. Feels nice. It feels great. Ya. Tell me about your experience now that way here. How was it? The Mr. Enemy Second Option Africa. Actually, this was my first challenging pajant event. Why was it so challenging? Kulingana, the modeling industry so far, the events in me kwa ni ki contest, in me kwa ni ki end. Most of the events in Zilkwanga, the unapatanila event is just one way around. Una skia kuna event, place, flani. You just prepare for yourself. You see the categories. You go to the runway, you win or you lose. Tumazwa kushinda. Ya. Nisawa. Tumazwa kushinda. But this second option, the Mr. Enemy Second Option, it was kind of different. It had a lot of things. It had steps, exposure and a lot of things. We started actually on January. Eh? Ya. On November 11th. Ya. What was your journey like? Like, there was a lot of progress, progress program. So, we had auditioning, auditioning. We qualified for the audition. We go to the next challenge. That is the online challenge, the week one challenge. Then the week two challenge, the project challenge. Then we had the voting challenge. Then to go and get the boot camp. Then to the main events. Ya. Ma challenge too. Ma challenge after challenge. Actually, we have a challenge. Educative. Ya. So you have learnt a lot. I have learnt a lot. Teacher, what have you been teaching them? Well, basically, we got in touch with them during the boot camp now. Because when we were going for auditions all over Kenya and Africa, the ones who were outside the country were doing it online then. For these ones, we were going to each county. So we just knew them online until now November when we had the boot camp. So we were teaching a lot of things. A ticket, how to carry up, how to carry on yourself as a model. And also trainings and how to interact with your fellow models. Ya, basically a lot of things. Then that was adding up to a certain max. And then now the main event that happened at Rupa's Mall on November 11. It also had now the better part of the max where it was actually graced by the CS. Ya, we were so honored. We are very grateful to him. Ya, we are looking forward to working with the Talantahela more and more. So ya, that was it. So if Rajis and myself perhaps maybe were models, how are we supposed to interact with each other? Well, just, it's just the general etiquette in life. Like, the way you socialize with people, the confidence, the composure, the way you're supposed to dress. Ya, mese mwa kwango na miyembe na kabizulu. Rajis had ya waini miyembe na kafiti. Siyo sini etiquetin ba ya? Ako DM. Okay, I understand. Sorry for interrupting you. So maona. Miskia, etiquets. DM. Ya ni wazis, African men, what is wrong with African? Uwa, miyembe na watu na kabizulu, siyo? Ya, I knew. Wai, benza tu tongi atu sayi. But you're going overboard. Now see the voices in my head, I'm making me talk to you. Hai, sa. Tell me how the boot camp was. Was it, is it grueling? Muna sweats wet? Uwama na tukano wa muki ebo? No, no. The coordinators are so good and the trainers. The challenging part is waking up in the morning. You're not a morning person. And there is a workout must take up in the morning. Every day at 6. 6 na na pshinda? Okay, but okay. Workout. Work with the gym. And then after, ya, like boot camp is more of time management etiquette. How you socialize with people and then you get to learn a lot. You know, most modeling events, the people imagine is all about, modeling is not about runaway alone. There's a lot that takes you to be Mr. Secondoption. That is a lot. To earn that title is not runaway, people imagine like you just go, dress well, then do your work, then you get a title. It doesn't work that way. It takes a lot. Like he has told you, there's a lot of challenges, voting challenges, public speaking techniques. Other things that you must have in order to become Mr. Secondoption. And being handsome also. Okay, last idea, last idea. We'll give it a drink. Yes. Faith cuts. So, mutuakitambia is pshinda? I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say. So, mutuakitambia is pshinda. Basically there is a routine for a model. People just supposed to sit there, back and relax, expecting to win these titles. There is a, I'm sure this gentleman go to the gym and, they actually try to, they work hard to keep the type of booty they have. So, if you decided to take the path of modeling, you're just supposed to take care of yourself, good diet. The aerobics. That's the known. It's not about just going to the gym. The aerobics, you can do it at home. The yoga things. The one, two, one, two. Mucha yoga position again. Downward-tasting dog, Yui. And again. Yui, you try to pose. Three pose. I wonder. Let's not feel like a trading after this. Boat cup, direct. Kupand fesukadek yama kubali? Fesukadek yama kubali. Gym tuni. Tapanotida. Laki nisi nisi adi apesa. Anza kwa plasezi. Plasezi. Kwa ni mfik. Kwa ni mfik. Kupandewutan. Mkata Ayosteot. African men. So, if you advise someone who might be a model like you or get into those passions, actually when you want them, what would you say? If I advise someone, actually in modeling, it's about passion, you need to have a passion in this pagentry. So, when you have a passion probably it will just drive you, It will just automatically drives you. So I'll advise someone that has passion. We are not getting close to that. I was trying to make a tank twister. A person with passion. So a person with passion. In this industry or a personal love fashion, I can advise them to don't just sit there or wait for anything to happen. It can't happen just like that. You have to go for it, work for it and probably it will just come. So work hard and go for it. Work hard and go for it. And be handsome. That's an added advantage. So you have to work hard and go for it? It can. Actually you know modeling. Modeling is in different categories. You can go for high fashion. It's not about the smiling, the being sexy. It's just about showcasing the outfit. It's just about being sexy. Like being sexy means not being sexy. I'll come back to you shortly. So I have two questions for you as we try and start widening this up. Have you ever competed for the second option? Yeah, my journey to the second option started there. Then after that is when they gave me the opportunity. I'm currently the Pigeon Coordinator but also I'm the Manager of the Conduction Kisumu Grunch. But it started last year when I contested for Missing Missing Conduction Africa but now I'll represent in the second region. So back then we used to take models per region. So we take male and female models per region but then as the editions we decided to not go per county because we were gaining more visibility and it was actually a request from the public and then we decided why not. So we changed it from Mr. and Missing Conduction maybe western region. Now was Missing Conduction western region before the boot camp. Now we changed it to maybe Mr. and Missing Conduction Bungoma. Apart from Mr. and Missing Conduction Africa is the Mr. and Missing Conduction and they represent it. Yeah, he was representing Bungoma. Now in western we have like different countries. Now we went to Kaka-Mega, we took Kaka-Mega, we went to Uchansoya, we took Uchansoya, we went to different places. Now when we go to Nyanza region we do the same. Then we have all the 47 models in the country minus the ones from outside. So yeah, we noticed that way it's giving opportunities to a larger number. Okay, so if you were to describe the second option in a sentence, how would you describe it? Yeah, I would first say it's beauty with purpose while adding value to society. So last mokuena akili peya? Yeah sure, not just beauty. Okay, okay. So I would say beauty with purpose. Okay, Africans beauty with purpose adding value to society. Yonimisha ni enu? Yeah, actually our dream is Africans for Africa adding value to society. It's the dream we've been moving on for the 6th edition. It's what we stand for. Alright, now to kifunga nawewe, how has it been going on to us as after usha madizakaze yungumu? How is it now basking in the glory of being first on us up? Bana siya to ni smileki doko shu. Amakusma yutu ni kwa runway. Anyways, continue. I think maybe from here we'll we'll see what next maybe if there's a big event we'll give it a try because second option also sponsors you to a big event if there's a bigger platform they give you a chance, they train you maybe if there's something like if Mr Kenya ever comes back Yeah. I will give it a try. Alright. You have any plans of doing anything international? Yeah, we are going as far as possible. Okay, so muli sama manome bilandevu ni moji. So here we must sija kusha uti ayo. Nime stressuk. Dada bada ni meto, ni meto, ni meto. Alright, parting shots, parting shots as we go. Maybe how can we find you on social media? Oh, Instagram, Ian Kamau or Ian Kew. Kuna salamu ni ni wapi? Maybe from people of Eldoret. Mr Singeshi is presenting you here in Y254 TV. Waluia nisi wakose. Salamu, please. Yeah, probably western non-kawade. Bachi na konga overrated mostly see western peki. So ni meshout? Yeah, meshout. At least ni smile. Ah, me hachatena. Yeah. Me ni sumbofo. Alamfumto nani ame ya minim kam. I am not kam. So salamu probably to the western people especially the capital city of western Bungoma County. Capital city, okay. Capital city of western Bungoma County actually. Salamu, fikiye, all the supporters for the voting ni ni and I am I am representing Bungoma County not even Bungoma County. I am representing Mr. Second Option Africa 2023. Yeah. Feels nice. Social media platform. Yasin underscore, yasanta Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Tiktok Snapchat everywhere. Na sayangani ni Tiktok? Uakon na majibu? Nob. Miazapu miso ea? Nob. It's a content platform. So actually my content there it's about modeling because I'm doing modeling. I have follow up questions but I don't know where we are going to listen. How can we find users of media and maybe tell us if we ever wanted to be part of Second Option and we can decrease you. Oh, yeah. I'll start with the agency. Social media handles a Second Option agency on Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok everywhere. And then we have two pages. We have the page. It's called Mr. and Second Option Africa on Instagram. And then we have Second Option agency on Instagram. Now that's the agency where we accommodate models that are in our branches all over Kaya. Now if you want to join the agency and be part of us we only have a small registration fee of 5,000 shillings. Once you pay the 5,000 shillings there are a lot of benefits. There are trainings. There are CSR activities by charity events. There are photo shoots and all these throughout the year they will be sponsored by the agency. Not forgetting our main sponsor is Mesu Center. So once you pay the 5,000 shillings you'll be part of us for a year then when the year ends if you want to renew your membership you again pay 5,000 shillings. So throughout the month from January our activities actually end in November. From January to November we always have two training sessions per month. We always have CSR every three months and photo shoots every three months. So all the branches we have Kisumu, Nairobi, Mombasa Nakuru and Eldoret it's the agency that caters for each once you pay the 5,000 shillings. Now where are you from? Oh yeah, my name on Instagram is Gracie Papulmish Gracie not with an IE but with an EY G-R-A-C-Y Papulmish then number 3, that's one word. On TikTok it's Gracie Papulmish without the three. On Facebook it's Gracie Loach. Saku namutameni, leza swali achatuniku leza. Why is it second option not first option? Oh yeah Let me not say from our theme kusarim explain something different. The reason for this name is we give chances to people who felt left out during the first chance. Actually personally I always explain it what made me at least join second option agency or have some interest in it. Specifically in the modelling industries we have bush events everyone knows that. We have bush events where people go and contest you go spend your money spend your time and everything but then before the event even starts there is already a winner. So those kind of events they actually some people join modelling and live not because they want to live or because they are committed but because they feel like it's not a fair industry. Kute sekatu but now you know for us we came in as a second chance actually I think they can testify on how genuine and how genuine we are with distribution marks starting from the online challenges going to the boot camp to the main event. Actually if you ask any contestant who is from our November event it is a very legit and fair event which gives you transparency. We give you what you deserve give you what you deserve and in the process you learn a lot. So we basically provide a platform for people who feel like the first chance was a bit rigged so we give you another chance to give out your best. It's actually all evident in our vision. Thank you so much Kise. I've been with them for a while. You can't just wake up in the morning you're a manager of a certain branch and then you're again a pijont coordinator you have to actually show interest. So it's something I've been passionate about and actually I went there to get a second chance and that's why the passion grew and I'm really proud of myself. We're proud of you too. We share our name to us at us due to be fine in it but to us we won't get more in one minute that Rajizi won't get the whole show. Rajizi I'll speak for the music. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Anyway, speaking of music let's get back to it but we still have a lot more in store. KT I think has rested enough to teach them Funza Kutembeki doka model. Yeah, yeah. I'll just say my high fashion. I'm going to leave from behind the scenes at Facebook White Fair 4 on the grand White Fair 4 channel on X hashtag is social Friday where we bring your weekend on a weekday.
