Between her trend-setting fashion and her famous curves, the photo gallery felt like a time capsule from the peak of the Tumblr era.
Her journey began at just 16-years-old when she gained massive notoriety as the lead member of the Pro-Twerkers, a dance crew that became a viral sensation in South Africa’s nightlife scene in the early 2010s.

Known then by her moniker, Queen Twerk, Faith leveraged her popularity to become one of the country's most sought-after video vixens, notably appearing in Cassper Nyovest’s Tito Mboweni music video.
Her career didn't end at dancing, though, as she successfully transitioned into reality television with her show, Have Faith, and later became a mother.
Now 31-years-old, her 2016 vs 2026 throwback photos served as a powerful visual timeline that sparked a wave of nostalgia among fans, who reflected on the cultural impact Faith has had over the last decade.
