1 How was the walk?

The walk was amazing it felt like when you are about to go on a roller-coaster and at the back of your head you are confident, but once they tap go all the preparation that you did are gone. Nothing can prepare you for that. All eyes in the room are on you. It was like a roller-coaster

I never thought walking would be that nerve wracking. I practiced many type of walks in different ways but for me being here today is tick off my bucket. I think I put my best foot forward, I step on stage in front of thousands of people all the time, but walking here it was different and amazing

2. How did you get the gig?

I got the gig because of my height. I work closely with Ephraim when he asked me to do it I was like yes.

3. Are you considering modeling fulltime now?

I am going to start losing weight. The hardest thing for me today was keeping a straight face, but I am going to learn that. I could hear people in the audience shouting my name but I had to keep a straight face.

4 How did you made sure that you have a great year this year?

"This year I decided to focus on myself and I told myself that I want different things this year. I am blessed of the year beautiful year I had and thanks to my ancestirs. Its a lot of hard work and none of it is luck. I know that I tend to be humbled but, I deserve everything.

5. What are your plans for 2023.

I am bringing my One Man Tour around the country and to Botswana, Swaziland and I am still in talks with  Namibia. There's a possible TV show but I do not want to mention anything and there are two movies a lot.
