I remember when modeling was introduced for the first time in my hometown, in the heart of Kigali city, everyone was laughing and questioning what was the next after becoming a model. Some other people used to call models, young people who do nothing just to amuse themselves. When I attended a fashion show for the first time In 2008, I  saw models on the runway and it was so fun and very creative. Many thanks to Dady de Maximo Mwicira-Mitali who was the organizer of that fashion show.

So far modeling in Rwanda is a career many young people want to join and are investing in. Not only in Rwanda, but modeling is becoming also a source of earning income for models as well as modeling agencies and model agents in other African countries.
