TWENTY-YEAR-OLD fashion model Tatenda Tarasana says it is her goal to assist the less privileged and to continue supporting the vulnerable in communities.
Tarasana, who is a Shallcross College student doing her Advanced Level, has donated clothes to different orphanages which include Jabangwe Orphanage and has partnered several non-governmental organisations to conduct anti-drug abuse campaigns.
In an interview with NewsDay Life & Style, she said: “I am also a social activist and philanthropist and feminist.
My belief is that if you empower a woman you have empowered the whole nation.”
To be focused and remain consistent as a student, Tarasana believes handling peer pressure is the only way to go.
“Peer pressure has been a cancerous disease devouring many youths these days. I handle pressure by giving myself a digital detox and I also surround myself with goal getters. Besides that I also keep myself busy with schoolwork and modelling and this helps me a lot to handle peer pressure.
Most girls these days get entangled in peer pressure because they are idle and just following social media platforms,” she said.
She also pointed out that finances were a major drawback limiting her from attaining what she wants to achieve as a passionate model. As a freelance model, her journey has been a bumpy ride, but she has managed to pull through.
“I trust myself as I make my own personal decisions and I also believe the sky is the limit and that the one who is in me is greater than the one who is in the world,” she confidently stated.
