FROM THE EDITOR . Dear Reader As you read through this magazine at this very moment I hope you are smiling, I hope you are truly proud of all you Got, I hope you have appreciated all the Tiny steps you’ve taken to this very moment. BREATH, because you are another version of yourself that was never there before. I am truly proud of the beautiful and talented young souls you will get to see as you scroll through the pages. Tiny bodies but huge souls that have so much Faith, hope and self believe in all they put their minds and hearts to do. From cooking to posing on the camera, it takes a lot of confidence. That’s why today I stand for that kid, from different sorts of life, that young heart ready to explore the world and colour its footsteps high. I am Proud. So keep that smile and Chin up, because that little smirk, little nod, that cute smile, goes way through to someones Heart. You look so much better when you SMILE.
ENJOY THE READ.

Kids and photography How does it feel to be in front of camera lenses, big dreams it seems, but it’s just a matter of how much breath can you take and watch the rays shine on you. Can you be able to smile through and dance as they shoot, can you promote the product on your hand. It’s pretty simple hack though, just dance through it, breath in and breathe out. Trust yourself for the Camera rays are here to create a reflection of the beautiful you.

CELAI WEST 1. Who is Celai West?, (Tell us Something We do not know about you) Celai (sah-LAY) West is an 11 year old girl who’s making waves in the fashion industry while proving that you are never too young to chase your dreams. West became the youngest professional runway model to walk amongst an all adult lineup during NYFW at just 10 years old but it doesn’t stop there. She is also a print model, runway coach, texture activist working alongside World Afro Day, an environmentalist, producing NYFW shows, a young author and the CEO of her own company, www. TheChattyChick.com.
2. Tell us Your modelling Journey.
The Top fashion runway to walk on and how is The Kids Fashion Industry in your perspective. -I really enjoyed walking with the kids at runway shows but once my first runway video went viral, they didn’t want me to walk with them anymore so I had to start walking with the adults. I really like that much better because the adult models help mentor me and give me lots of good advice.
3. Your brand @thechattychick what does it represent and the impact it has made. Well, I started TheChattyChick.com when I was 7 years old because I wanted little girls with hair like mine to feel confident about their hair but then I decided to expand it a little bit to offer tees that have nothing to do with hair and for different hair types too. Like “I’d be jealous of my hair too” has been worn by people with red hair, deadlocks, braids, blonde curls and even boys. But the tees are all inspired by me, especially the “I’m only here for the wifi” one.
4. #kinkyhairmatter reason for this campaign and How does it Impact your daily life and the kids who are on this campaign too Well sometimes I would be on set and the hairstylists wouldn’t know how to do my hair and I felt like I won’t get booked again if they make my hair look crazy. Then I noticed that I don’t really see anyone with hair like mine on TV, on ads or in the mall and I figured that was why. They want my hair to be curly, not kinky but ALL girls with ALL textures should be able to see themselves represented on TV ads and feel beautiful. So I want to help change that.
5. Your advice to upcoming models (kids) and what it really takes to be the queen Of the Runway. My advice to upcoming models is to make sure you are having fun, set goals, don’t give up and always be yourself.

WHO AM I Who Am I Is education important or talent important? I took a little Trip To Tafaria Castle, located At the foot of Mt.Kenya. For a minute I forgot about the buzz of the Busy City. The Cold chills, Walking in the rain, because you will do nothing if you wait for it to stop. Kids from dierent levels and statuses of life. “useless confidence and Useful Confidence” is the theme I got. Kids get to be so confident, but not useful. What it means is that kid, talks alot. Comical and when you try to organize their confidence, you get nothing out of it, the mouth runs faster than the brain. Sad Right! Useful confidence out of it you get something productive, you get to speak and be able to create a success. The funny food for thought I have is that its been nanced by the state itself,. What happens when you have useless confidence? Overcofindence, overestimating the abilities which cannot be alligned or arranged or associated to anything useful or productive, over selfassessment. Useful confidence, comes with what to do and how to do it, do you get to exercise what you think? .. Lets take a look at A conductor, he/she shouts and can even get out a few bad words to anyone around, take the same person and let him/her give you an idea of what the Bill in the government can go about. Some will shrink at the thought of that. We get to express who we are but is it benecial to the sorrounding group and yourself? How do parents contribute to their kid having useless confidence and useful confidence.- We approve on how they respond to other kids or parents and their peers when they are the one on the wrong. They conrtribute by guiding their kids in a certain growth, Absentism, no talk with them to get a good connection that they can speak freely with their babies. Too much pressure on the kid because you yourself didnt get to do a certain activity. Closeness with the kids and getting them to do what they love. From this point, you can clearly know, whether you’ve led your kid to a useless confidence class or usefull confidence class. Education system on Rich Dad Poor Dad book, people go to school to learn to be employees. But who gives us the Financial knowledge?, just the few who followed on the path of Useful confidence. Education is good but Add that ability on the side to it and create the vision. create the world that suits the Same energy you drive out. I am, the version of whom I choose to be.. Who am I?? Am I the person who will choose to have art carry the castle or the castle carry the Art?
