"Modelling is something that my heart beats for, it is something
that I made up my mind about when I had my first photo shoot at Photophactory
studio , the pictures gave me an insight into what life in the limelight could be
like.
"Being the daughter of a fashion designer who has a
great taste in fashion, the passion for competing in pageants and being on the
runway all pointed me towards a career in modeling.
"I am living my dream right now and despite challenges
that I face, I'm grateful for the good moments", said Caroline Chenai
Mhonda, an emerging model currently signed under Choice Cuts Modelling agency
For the 22 year old stunning beauty, modelling gave her the motivation
she needs to keep herself fit and make sure she is properly groomed while at the
same time widening her scope in as far as fashion is concerned.
"I have what some would term a 'portable'/tiny body
that is always in shape. I exercise twice a week and I take healthy meals
always and I would also like to believe that I have a great taste in fashion.
"Modelling motivates one to look good and groom's one
in terms of dressing and fashion taste",
she said.
Locally, in the modelling industry, there's definitely no shortage
of success stories and inspirational individuals who have paved the way for generations
to come and as such, it has made it easier for aspiring models like Carol to follow
in those footsteps.
"I look up to the likes of Nyasha Matonhodze in the
industry, she has raised the bar high, created her own powerful brand which naturally
led to her being signed under some of the most powerful designers on the modelling
scene.
"I would love the opportunity to have some grooming
lessons from her one day", said Mhonda.
Being a strong believer in her own talents, the aspring model
said that she is someone who is willing to learn but more importantly someone who
is looking to build a brand that can be globally recognized.
"My aim is to network as much as possible with stakeholders
in the industry, to make the rest of the world appreciate local talent (both
models and designers) especially from the grassroots level.
"I am looking forward to engaging in a lot of projects
and though It's still work in progress, I plan to advertise local designers talent
through fashion modelling and also to participate in local pageants myself.
"l am somebody who really wants to learn more from the
industry, somebody who wants to build a brand as well as raising the flag of Choice
Cuts Modeling Agency. I am a strong believer in myself and I feel nothing is
impossible if you work hard enough and dedicate all you do to Christ", said
Carol, as she is fondly referred to by her family and friends.
Besides modelling, the beauty is also just as passionate
about dance and fashion. She is in the process of putting together her own
fashion label.
"I see myself as a natural entreprenuer. I am a dancer
who is very much looking forward to joining Jibillika dance group where I see
myself flourishing. I'm also working with a fashion designer on my own fashion
label", she said.
It is no secret that having a supportive family is a good foundation
if one is to pursue anything. Carol concurs, as in her own case it made it easier
for her to chase down her dreams.
"I remember how whenever my mum designed something for
me, she would always say 'this looks perfect on you my beauty queen' and it is
those moments that I always go back to in my own mind to remind myself about
how and where it all started but more importantly just how much this means to
me.
"The people around me made it easy for my dream to come
true and special mention goes to Mrs N Mhonda, Mrs M Mutero, Magwenya Lorraine,
Madyira mellisa, Pfidze Allan and Photophactory", said the 22-year old.
