Miss Hope International 2017 is not just a pretty
face
Perseverance
is sure the mother of success, Natalie Memory is a living proof of this saying.
The 26 year old KwaDukuza Municipality resident is a true definition of the
term ‘beauty and brain’. Memory is the current Miss KwaZulu-Natal 2016 and she
was recently crowned as Miss Hope International 2017.
“Natalie
Memory is a very humble girl originally from Zimbabwe, I moved to South Africa
about 8 years ago to look for a better life. I come from a very poor background
but I have always had a vision and a plan to make my life better each and every
day. I remember when I started saving up money to come to this country by doing
people’s hair, when I got here life was not as easy as I thought it will be, to
make a living I got a job in Ballito where I worked as a maid as time went on I
changed jobs now and then. It was when I got a job in Pick n Pay where I was
exposed to many things and I took a decision to turn my life around, I was
interested in modelling and I never looked back” Memory explains.
She
likes to describe herself as not one of the prettiest girls in the world but
she says her brains and heart got her where she is today. Her love of giving a
helping hand motivated her to start her own modelling agency called Alosia
Models where she grooms young girls who want to make it in the modelling
industry, giving pointers and directions from professional experts. She says
this industry is though and if one doesn’t have proper guidance and mentorship
will not survive but will suffer from people who will take advantage of young
girls.
Memory
is also known for her community work she has been doing around KwaDukuza and
surroundings, she is also a brand ambassador for various products and agencies
including Raw juice, Victor Fashion Academy, Posh Salon and many more.
The jack
of all trades hopes 2017 will be the best Natalie Memory to grow as a brand and
Alosia Models as a business. “In 2017 I want to venture in many things, I want
to get out of my comfort zone, go an extra mile to help the people in
need. I have plans to tackle the
entertainment industry and grow as a brand. I also trust in God to take me
wherever he plan to take me this years.
