“It took me three months to learn the craft. I don’t use any patterns to make the stuffed animals."

The 22-year-old explains that she dropped out of St. Columbus High School at the age of 16 because her parents could not afford to send her to school anymore:

“When I was in primary school, we didn't struggle a lot because my dad worked well, but things changed when l was in high school. My mom was a domestic worker, and we faced hardship.”

Christine is married and has a four-year-old toddler named Ryan, with the hard-working lady striving to create a good life for her young brothers, Simbarashe, 11, and Wesly, 14, despite not earning much money.

The young entrepreneur previously told Briefly News that she works from home and sells the stuffed toys on weekends at the Prison Break Market.

Christine notes that if female entrepreneurs, and more so young moms, want to succeed, they need to be disciplined and believe in themselves, adding:

“[Women should] never give up or rush into success [without proper planning]. Importantly, they should never allow what other people say to disturb their goals.”

The doting mom hopes to own a toy store one day and dreams of creating a company that excels locally and internationally.
