Career
The gorgeous model has worked hard and has had her fair share of hardships and challenges to be where she is right now. After moving to South Africa in 2009, she began her modeling career. During her first year, she rarely got gigs since the industry was very selective; they only wanted slim, six-foot-tall models, which she is not. She was rejected continuously and would attend up to three modeling casts in a day and would receive a no.
Speaking to ZAlebs, she recalls that things had gotten so bad that she could not afford basic needs like food, and she had to strategically visit modeling agencies during the lunch hours so that she could get her meal for the day. She would also walk to the agency since she had no fare, and she realized that she could not rely on modeling alone to pay her bills.
