If you could design your own fashion line, what would you call it? What would it look like?
Still deciding between names but at the topmost of that list is a name that carries the names of both my parents, Rose and Michael, in honour of both their memories. However, my line will feature contemporary styles for the African man and woman even though we’re starting first with a female line. Our style will be fresh, colourful, bold, happy and chic. Our pieces will be designed accentuate the body of the everyday African woman. To mask her flaws and highlight her curves. We want her to tell us who she is simply by walking into a room with all the glory of her African beauty. Comfortable in her own Skin. Loud, Bold and Proud.
Do you have any passions besides acting?
Yes. Fashion, Beauty, Counselling. Helping others find themselves.
