Genevieve Effa: Determination + Passion = Success!

Genevieve Effa is a Kenyan model who discovered her passion for modeling after experiencing her first professional photo shoot in New York City. From that day on, Genevieve knew she had to follow her dreams and try to pursue a career in the modeling industry.

As in any industry, to become a successful model, one must know the in's and out's of the business. Before discovering Pro-Model and Talent Genevieve had her fair share of struggles trying to navigate her way in the industry alone. She went to hotel auditions that promised her fame and took money from her and worked with photographers who never gave her the photos she paid for. Genevieve quickly learned that she needed an agency that she could trust. She needed a company to guide her, give her honest input and field real opportunities for her in the industry.

Genevieve has some exciting opportunities on the horizon and a great support system cheering her on. She is grateful to her parents for supporting her dreams from the start. She is also extremely thankful for Pro-Model and Talent Management for teaching her about the modeling and acting industry, as well as providing her with the skills and connections to succeed. She is motivated to one day become a household name in the modeling and acting industry, and an inspiration for young girls across the globe. Pro-Model and Talent Management wishes Genevieve the best of luck chasing her dreams! We know that with the dedication and talent she has, great things are coming!

"Meet Sultana Nazif"

My name is Sultana Nazif, I am 17 years old. I was born in December (best month of the year) I loveee reading books and am also a planner I always like to be organised. The apps on my phone are arranged from darker colours to lighter colours. I am studying to become an Engineer InshaAllah. I have six younger siblings I hate when things don’t go my way and i like being in control. I try my best to be nice to everyone I also love listening to music I am so Indecisive 😂. I think African teenagers nowadays are very diverse with their sense of style and fashion statements, both girls and boys! Everyone should be able to dress how ever they want to and should feel free of being judged. For what they wear because at the end of the day you only have to please yourself. Do you and stay true to you because there are gonna be haters anyway🤪

"Meet Beauty Queen Imani Shagari"

I’m Imani Shagari , a student reading Architecture and I’m one of twenty other children. Coming from a big family has shown me how important supporting other people can be to their growth. I constantly live by the quote “Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.” It motivates me to help and support people without feeling afraid or threatened by their growth. Instead it helps me to see the best in people and that everyone has their own gifts , we just need each other to help show those gifts. As a young black girl, I would encourage other girls just like me to love themselves and also believe that they are beautiful without the beauty standards set up by society and social media.

What Do Older Generations Misunderstand About Teenagers Today?

What stereotypes about teenagers do the adults you know seem to hold? How does the media portray people your age — and what, in your opinion, do they get wrong? What do you wish you could explain to adults in general to dispel some of these beliefs? In “ Taking Away the Phones Won’t Solve Our Teenagers’ Problems ,” a psychology professor writes about rising levels of anxiety and stress: Teenagers are struggling with anxiety more than any other problem, and perhaps more than ever before. There’s a good chance that it is anxiety that is driving teenagers (and the rest of us) to escape into screens as a way to flee fears.
