She is a true embodiment of the mantra, ” hard work pays off.” This belle is one of the vivacious youngsters who chose to get up from her comfort zone and started to pursue her modelling career at a younger age.
Allow me to introduce you the lady of the moment, Letoya Madlala is a 15 year old girl who has been in the modelling industry since she was 4 years old. She is an actress, dancer, poet, fashion designer, maverick founder of Mr & Miss Ethekwini Municipality Role Model, CEO of La-Tee Kiddies Spa & Deco, Co-Founder of Dream Chasers Academy and La-tee clothing boutique. In addition to this, she is doing grade 10 at Wingen Heights Secondary School.
In the year of 2022, she won an international title ( Miss Teen Tourism Globe South Africa ) in Philippines. This was not enough, she did not allow her lofty achievement to settle for less. She did not waste time to ventured into another lucrative project because she realised that there is a high rate of youths who are not employed in the country of South Africa and in most parts of Africa.
Modelling is a well – known as a sport of exhibiting beauty through fashion, exclusive pictures, on the stage or on all forms of broadcasting platforms. Our superstar model views modelling from a difference lens. Her vision is to transform models into entrepreneurs so that they can be able to generate money for themselves. It is not a secret that we are living in the challenging times whereby some of the people are struggling to put a normal meal on their table on a daily basis.
It is wise for models to arm themselves with entrepreneurship skills so that they immune from the struggle of job hunting for many years in their lives.
” Entrepreneurship is not just about starting a company. It has got everything to do with creativity, innovative, solving a specific problem and leadership skills.” she says. As we know that it is a duty for citizens to build their lovely nation.
Her parting words, ” big dreams take time to fully manifest into reality. Never give up too soon on your dreams.”
