Victoria

Victoria Mwende is my official name. People however, prefer to call me Vicky. I like Lisa more. I am the first born of three. Am a tours and travel graduate of Nairobi Aviation College, and currently at Nairobi Institute of Business Studies,taking a Secretarial course. I am also an employee of Red Cross as a receptionist. I am a member of Kalamu Africa Intiative, an Education based CBO, a life member of Jeshy Family Sacco and a co-founder of Squad Goals KE Initiative. I'm a brand ambassador and photography model for WenyaD Designs and Great Voice Media respectively. I'm also privileged to as in the treasury for the Women Ministry in R. G. C-Huruma, Youth.

What are your passions and interests...
(pause) I'm passionate about fashion. Honestly, I feel someone can always do better. There's no excuse for under dressing. I believe you can always find what works for you, within your means, and shine at it. You could use the help of a good designer and image consultant.  WenyaD does it best for me. The model in me, is fast coming alive. I'm grooming a deep love for the camera.
I'm also passionate about society. I feel anything that affects society is my business. I desire to not only be a problem finder but more, a solution giver. If that means, starting initiatives, birthing programs, setting up foundations, just to get solutions out to the society, I'll be delighted.

What are your hobbies? 

I am a bit laid back, unlike most of my friends. I like doing life a step at a time. Enjoying every moment. I'm a people person. I enjoy being in the company of beautiful souls. I love good music. Don't ask about my singing skills (laughs). I have friends who can hit some notes, you know. I only make joyful noises unto the Lord. Good enough. (chuckles). I can actually dance!
I like being in the know. Just being up to date with what is trending. Moving with the moving, I'd say. I enjoy swimming and eating out with friends. 'Choma' plots don't pass over me.

What are you most proud of in your personality?
My big heart. I love people. Much. Most times I  go out of my way to be a blessing to those around me. Well, some people would view this as a weakness as it makes one susceptible to hurt and abuse. Which is not entirely false. However, coming from a place where God has dealt with me about authentic love, I'm just left to love,Regardless. There's no fear in love.
People consider me to be a fighter. I am. Giving up is not something I want to ever learn to do. I am also result oriented. I don't stop until it's over. I am also self motivated, an attribute life has not so softly imputed on me.

What do you consider to be the thorn in your flesh? 
(pause) I hate to admit it but I am
quick tempered. I bet it's hard to imagine a people-lover who is quick tempered. (chuckles). At times it baffles me as well. But this is it, to me, it is what I call a divine exchange. As I give up my weakness to my Lord, He imputes His attributes on me. Beauty for Ashes. It's not easy, but it's such a beautiful exchange.

What is your greatest fear.
I fear the Lord. (laughs)
Honestly though,  I
Fear walking in disobedience to my Lord. I would hate to wake up one day and find myself outside His will.
As I said earlier, I'm result oriented. So failure is not something I take with folded arms.

Challenge
I have had to outgrow impatience. In my bid to get results, to get things done, I've had to learn that things don't always end up the way we desire them to. That at times, things don't just work. And that doesn't make me a failure. It just means they didn't work.



What project are you currently working on?
Growth. I am focused on growing me. I am in school, building up my credentials to fit the future I look forward to. I'm also growing slowly but surely in photography modeling. I'm excited to see where this will take me. (smiles)
Most importantly for me, Is my walk with the Lord. I'm working on building my spiritual muscles, growing intimately with my Lord. My daily walk, my daily pursuit. Just to know Him.


Paint us a picture of Victoria in Five years....

Victoria, (pause)
Will have settled down in five years, building a family. (smiles)
I will be done with school and running a chain of businesses. For now, am thinking of fashion business, high-tech cyber café,and banking. I'd like to be a job creator for as many people as possible. I'm also trusting God that I will be able to put up a Home for Destitute children. My joy would be complete in seeing as many children find beauty and meaning in life.
The Beauty of life comes with the realisation that we live for a purpose greater than ourselves. And that purpose, can only be found in people.
