Behind the glamour of modelling lies a reality that isn't always captured by the camera. In Episode 15 of Mavazy Podcast, we sit down with Ebraah Ayaan, a multidisciplinary creative working across modelling, acting, fashion design, and wardrobe styling, for an honest conversation about the realities of Kenya's modelling industry. We explore the opportunities that make modelling exciting, the challenges of building a sustainable career, and the uncomfortable issues that demand attention. 🎙️ IN THIS EPISODE: The Good: Creativity, opportunities, career growth, and the relationship between modelling and fashion. The Bad: Unpaid and underpaid work, delayed payments, and the struggle to earn a living as a model. The Ugly: Sexual harassment, exploitation, abuse of power, gatekeeping, and concerns about unfair access to opportunities. Behind the Scenes: Ebraah's personal journey across modelling, styling, design, and entertainment. The Way Forward: What needs to change to build a safer, fairer, and more professional modelling industry in Kenya. Is modelling in Kenya a sustainable career? Is talent enough to succeed, or do connections determine who gets opportunities? And what can be done to protect models while ensuring creatives receive the respect and compensation they deserve? This is a conversation about talent, power, accountability, and the future of Kenya's creative industry. 🎧 Listen, reflect, and join the conversation. 💬 What do you think needs to change in Kenya's modelling industry?
