SU: How do you find modeling?
Jenny: I find it amazing. Despite the challenges faced in the modeling industry in Uganda, I can still say it’s great. Because it’s something I really love, it’s something that makes me happy. As long as you are persistent and hardworking, you find that you can’t be accepted by every fashion designer or company to represent or showcase their products. Everyone has different taste and preferences. Being rejected doesn’t mean giving up. It’s that simple basic that has helped me love what I do.

SU: What do you think of modeling industry in Uganda? Jenny: Modeling industry in Uganda is a fast growing one. There’s so much that has been achieved of recent by Ugandan models and fashion designers. There are so many opportunities but also so many loopholes. It’s your perseverance that puts you at the top.

I got the chance of being crowned Miss Kampala Royale smile 2015-2016. It was a very amazing experience. Got to meet new people, learnt so many things from the people who were mentoring us.
