AS:  Unaweza kutuelezea safari yako na make up…ulianzaje?

ME: I never had the slightest idea I’ll become a makeup artist.
I applied kazi atsoko nkiwa na nia ya kuwa nail technician lkn Nlivofika atsoko kukawa hamna slots na nail technician so nkawa trained as a sales person wa vipodozi atsoko.
slowly nkaanza kupenda makeup nkawa nakesha youtube nkiangalia tutorials za makeup alafu nkiingia kazini nawaomba wadada tuliopangwa wote dukani niwapambe (kuwafanyia mazoezi ) Kutoka hapo ndo watu wakaanza kuwa wanapenda kazi yangu wafanyakazi wenzangu wakawa wananipa moyo kwamba naweza kupaka makeup vizuri na hio ikanipa moyo wa kuendelea kufanya mazoezi mpka kufikia leo

AS: Kwanini makeup?

ME: Naweza nikasema makeup gave gave me a purpose… immediately nilivyoanza kupaka makeup i fell in love na makeup.. ili awaken the artist in me which i never new was there (another Eddie) Mimi sikuwa mtu wa watu so it helped me connect na watu
