1. Who is Kim?
Kim's real name is Charlotte, she is a plus size budoir model, MC, a social media marketing and advertising manager and the founder of Sdudla United. Who was born and bred in a little town in the North West Brits called Letlhabile, she is the 8th of 9 children and the black sheep of the family.
2. What challenges do you face as a model?
Being a plus sized model gets to becoming more of proving a point than expression sometimes because there is still a new thing in the industry and not everyone is use to it, so you need to now prove and fight to stand out and show everyone that you mean business and you loose the having fun part. Being a budior model is more challenging because it means you fear people shaming you, trending for the wrong reasons and not for the art of it, not everyone understands the depth of budior modeling.
3. If you could change one thing about the entertainment business what would you change?
The undermining In the industry not everyone understands others crafts, there's a feel of my craft is better than yours, so we undermine and we redicule others and we don't grow from learning but mostly from pushing others down in the industry.
4. For people who do not know what boudior modeling is can you please explain?
Budior is basically Nude Modeling, not pornographic as mostly would say but it is more artistic and an expression of body confidence.
5. What makes or gives you confidence?
Honestly it is all mental, it is how you pick to mentally register everything. I am one person who was bullied a lot at a young age most of my school years, so once I got my senses and grew out of it and the back up and support I have from my family it was like pouring petrol on an open fire.
6. What advise would you give a woman interested in boudior modeling?
Do you, love you and it is all about you, if you want to do it, make sure you are at a mental state where you are ready for any criticism and shaming but you must know we live in a world that seems to like it, can't go around without it, you will have support and you will have fans and you will have love.
