Speaker 1: Master Class. A chin Ogutu how you doing?
1:08
Speaker 2: Hello?
1:09
Speaker 1: Are you?
1:10
Speaker 2: Can I just get out the way you look fantastic?
1:12
Speaker 1: Can I just say that I just want to not
1:14
Speaker 1: you know, if you want to hear it all run,
1:15
Speaker 1: Just just go up to the bat and just start swinging.
1:18
Speaker 2: You are all run. Thank you very much, Sean.
1:21
Speaker 3: I'm so excited to be here today.
1:24
Speaker 1: You know the thing about when I what I interview individuals,
1:27
Speaker 1: especially from a glamorous standpoint of the world of beauty
1:31
Speaker 1: or fitness, they're always stereotypes.
1:34
Speaker 2: Okay, they come up with that.
1:35
Speaker 1: People expect certain people to look a certain way. Now
1:39
Speaker 1: you're bald, beautiful, yes, but do you fit the standard
1:47
Speaker 1: of what people you think people are looking for? And
1:49
Speaker 1: how did you break that barrier?
1:50
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I don't think I do. I've gotten a
1:54
Speaker 3: lot of feedback and solicited feedback from people who think,
1:58
Speaker 3: as a woman, it is very unfeminine of me to
2:01
Speaker 3: cut my hair. I'm also a very like, vibrant and
2:05
Speaker 3: vivacious and loud person and people think that all those
2:08
Speaker 3: things are very not woman like. And wow, for me,
2:13
Speaker 3: those are stereotypes that people are imposing on me based
2:16
Speaker 3: off of their insecurities. So how I'm choosing to get
2:19
Speaker 3: over that is that what they're going through has nothing
2:22
Speaker 3: to do with me. I have one life on this
2:24
Speaker 3: earth and if I can live it for myself doing
2:26
Speaker 3: the things I want to do, being the person I know,
2:29
Speaker 3: I truly am, and that's it, and I'm happy.
2:33
Speaker 1: Well, you should be happy, because, like I said, you know,
2:36
Speaker 1: first of all, there's that stereotype, stereotype of beauty. Then
2:41
Speaker 1: you come from Kenya, yes, and I'm sure you have
2:44
Speaker 1: to deal with stereotypes that give us some of the
2:46
Speaker 1: stereotypes that you deal with people's perception of what Kenya is,
2:51
Speaker 1: what people do for a living in Kenya, and as
2:54
Speaker 1: you start to make the transition, let's start with the
2:56
Speaker 1: stereotypes of Kenya in general.
2:59
Speaker 3: That Kenyans can't speak English. Hey, I think people are
3:02
Speaker 3: always like, you're from Kenya and you speak English. Yes,
3:06
Speaker 3: And I went to international school back home. I'm very
3:10
Speaker 3: well educated my parents my dad is an educator, and
3:13
Speaker 3: so they are shocked that I can one speak English,
3:16
Speaker 3: that I can speak more than one language. And I
3:20
Speaker 3: think that's their limitation of them thinking that, especially Africans
3:26
Speaker 3: don't have the opportunity to be educated. Another one is
3:33
Speaker 3: is where I live. They are like surprised when I
3:36
Speaker 3: post pictures when I'm back home, that like I live
3:38
Speaker 3: in a house and a good house too, and that
3:41
Speaker 3: my dad is driving me around in a car, and
3:44
Speaker 3: that I'm not writing an elephant or like having a
3:47
Speaker 3: petline like these stereotypes, because you know, social social media,
3:52
Speaker 3: the media is that's what they show you, right, They
3:53
Speaker 3: show you a video about how if you send a
3:57
Speaker 3: dollar a day, you can save somebody in Uganda, you know.
4:00
Speaker 3: And so I think it's so hard for them to
4:02
Speaker 3: even comprehend that a woman like me can exist in
4:07
Speaker 3: a space that like this, you know, and that in
4:13
Speaker 3: regardless of my background, that I could still do this.
4:16
Speaker 2: Wow, you know.
4:17
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you, I believe everything you said
4:20
Speaker 1: because i have grown up in the United States and
4:23
Speaker 1: I've seen.
4:23
Speaker 2: That dollar a day.
4:25
Speaker 1: I've seen where they promote safaris all the time, big
4:30
Speaker 1: game hunting all the time. I've been stereotyped with I
4:34
Speaker 1: gotta say, tars and movies, you know. And these things
4:37
Speaker 1: still dominate, whether you want to say or not, in
4:42
Speaker 1: our media today. But more importantly, a lot of it
4:46
Speaker 1: is just to suppress the intelligence of a race of people. Yes,
4:50
Speaker 1: and I think that's where racism comes in. That's what
4:52
Speaker 1: stereotypes are born out of. But now that you're overhear
4:55
Speaker 1: mister Goto, Well, what have been some of your mentors
5:00
Speaker 1: that have told you keep doing what you're doing, don't
5:04
Speaker 1: worry about it, and we have to worry about What
5:06
Speaker 1: are some of the mentors that will help you?
5:09
Speaker 3: As in, somebody who's always been in my circle and
5:13
Speaker 3: Mike Corner since ninety six are my parents, Okay, and
5:20
Speaker 3: they have always wanted the best for me. My parents
5:23
Speaker 3: have sacrificed so much for me to even be in
5:26
Speaker 3: this space. And so for example them, I'm letting me
5:31
Speaker 3: leave Kenya at sixteen to move to the US like
5:34
Speaker 3: they want it better for me. So I would say
5:36
Speaker 3: my parents have like such great, great, great mentors for me.
5:41
Speaker 3: I also have an amazing manager who I'm obsessed with
5:45
Speaker 3: like she is Mi Chris Jenner. She does make things
5:49
Speaker 3: happen and she has been my champion for forever in
5:54
Speaker 3: I think personally in my career. She has went to
5:58
Speaker 3: you to push me and say, like you can do that,
6:00
Speaker 3: you can work with this brand, you can walk into
6:02
Speaker 3: those space and do whatever you need to do. You
6:05
Speaker 3: can talk to that person you can step in this meeting.
6:07
Speaker 3: And so that lady, I just I'm obsessed with her.
6:11
Speaker 3: And my other mentor was my American mother who I
6:16
Speaker 3: stayed with the first time I moved to the US,
6:20
Speaker 3: and she was one of the people that really helped
6:23
Speaker 3: me step out of my shell and be like, it's
6:25
Speaker 3: okay for you to cut your hand and still feel
6:27
Speaker 3: beautiful and sexy and confident. It's okay for you to
6:31
Speaker 3: speak up and say you don't want to eat this,
6:33
Speaker 3: or you don't wanna you don't wanna talk to this person,
6:37
Speaker 3: or you don't want to wear this. And so she
6:39
Speaker 3: has been an amazing support for me as well.
6:45
Speaker 1: Well, you can't win without support. And I would tell
6:47
Speaker 1: you this. You know my head is bald because I
6:51
Speaker 1: have no choice.
6:53
Speaker 2: Let you do that.
6:53
Speaker 1: And your boy, I had the nature, came along mister
6:56
Speaker 1: Gutu and went, okay, brother, either you go look like
7:00
Speaker 1: your hair got problems or you're gonna cut it off
7:02
Speaker 1: and cut it off and like.
7:04
Speaker 2: You your head works.
7:06
Speaker 1: You know, not everybody can cut their hair off that
7:08
Speaker 1: so many people say that.
7:09
Speaker 3: People say, like, you have a good head, and like,
7:11
Speaker 3: I think everybody has a good head, But.
7:13
Speaker 2: No don't just stop it right. There is to go to.
7:16
Speaker 2: You have the right face, structure, smile, nose.
7:21
Speaker 1: Head if everybody can't do it right because of you know,
7:25
Speaker 1: just God is giving people certain things of value. So
7:29
Speaker 1: now when you start talking about your manager, because I
7:32
Speaker 1: want to go back to that, because sometimes you have
7:34
Speaker 1: to have people see things in you that you don't see. Yeah,
7:37
Speaker 1: like I said, your parents or your ultimate mentors, they
7:40
Speaker 1: allowed you to come over to you in US when
7:41
Speaker 1: you was sixteen. But how did this manage you come
7:44
Speaker 1: into your life? And what was the motivation? Because she's
7:47
Speaker 1: now you're a big motivator on your social media platform.
7:50
Speaker 1: We go talk about that in a minute. Let's talk
7:52
Speaker 1: about somebody who had to motivate you first.
7:55
Speaker 3: So she actually came into my life in a season
7:58
Speaker 3: where I was really about to give up. I was
8:01
Speaker 3: about to stop doing social media and go full time
8:04
Speaker 3: in corporate America, which I'm so glad that, you know.
8:08
Speaker 3: I feel like the universe and God had was like,
8:11
Speaker 3: we have something better for you. You better not give up today.
8:14
Speaker 3: And on the day I was about to literally put
8:17
Speaker 3: my pen down and say, you know what, hands up,
8:19
Speaker 3: I'm good, I got an email from her, and she said,
8:23
Speaker 3: introduce herself, and she said, listen, I've been watching you
8:27
Speaker 3: for like a few months now, and you've really motivated
8:30
Speaker 3: me to to, you know, do things in my life
8:33
Speaker 3: that I was afraid to do, and you inspire me
8:36
Speaker 3: and so many women, and I just want to see
8:38
Speaker 3: if we can work together. I kind of just conquered
8:40
Speaker 3: this space together. And I said yeah, I said, okay,
8:44
Speaker 3: people are seeing you. You wanted you seeing me, I
8:46
Speaker 3: was seeing you. And since that day she has whoa
8:51
Speaker 3: like I can't even think this was two years ago.
8:55
Speaker 3: At that point, I was overworked, I was in grad school,
9:01
Speaker 3: I was sad, I was broke. I was just had
9:04
Speaker 3: nothing to like kind of look forward to, even though
9:07
Speaker 3: I was like really enjoying doing social media. And she
9:11
Speaker 3: is the one who brought it to me and said, like, listen,
9:13
Speaker 3: you have something in you that is special that people
9:18
Speaker 3: would love to experience, that you can take far. And
9:21
Speaker 3: so she's the one who continues to be like, I
9:24
Speaker 3: know we are feeling like this, or I know you're
9:27
Speaker 3: exhausted about this, or take time for yourself, but when
9:29
Speaker 3: you're ready, come back and let's get back to business.
9:33
Speaker 2: So that's lovely.
9:36
Speaker 1: You know, because that's what you're doing now to worldwide
9:40
Speaker 1: on the social media. Now you say you was doing
9:42
Speaker 1: social media. I really to throwing the time this. I'm
9:47
Speaker 1: just trying to whenever I talk to someone like you,
9:49
Speaker 1: who's special, who's now found their brand, found their voice,
9:53
Speaker 1: because that's what you found your voice. Now you're sharing
9:56
Speaker 1: that voice worldwide. What are the trigger points for you
10:00
Speaker 1: when you get up in the morning, and you, because
10:03
Speaker 1: you're in your natural inspirational and I'm gonna just tear
10:06
Speaker 1: you that up front. When I see you, I feel
10:08
Speaker 1: the need to smile, I feel the need to, you know,
10:13
Speaker 1: make sure you're happy. And I think that's important with
10:16
Speaker 1: people like you. So what is the engagement points of
10:20
Speaker 1: motivation when you get up in the morning.
10:23
Speaker 3: So I have a pretty strict routine, and so I
10:28
Speaker 3: make sure the morning especially it's for me because I
10:31
Speaker 3: think it's so easy to get sucked into like I'm
10:34
Speaker 3: getting up and I'm going on social and all these things.
10:37
Speaker 3: And so I get up, I try and get in
10:42

13:36
Speaker 1: person looking your eyes and telling them does she see
13:39
Speaker 1: what you don't see yet? Now you see it now?
13:42
Speaker 1: And your social media? Every reason I could going back
13:45
Speaker 1: to your manager because I always tell people everybody you know,
13:48
Speaker 1: your parents, you know, they're gonna support you.
13:52
Speaker 2: They supposed to support you.
13:53
Speaker 1: It's the strangers that come in and see you.
13:55
Speaker 2: That's what catch you off gard And I think that's wow.
13:58
Speaker 2: What did she say?
14:00
Speaker 3: Real?
14:00
Speaker 2: Okay?
14:01
Speaker 1: So now we're going to go to the Sports Illustrated
14:04
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four Swimsuit because all this happened in two years.
14:08
Speaker 1: Miss miss hot Walk, how girl walk? Okay?
14:13
Speaker 2: How did that come about? Did you submit?
14:15
Speaker 1: Folks?
14:15
Speaker 2: You sub miss photo? Did you have interviews? Were you
14:18
Speaker 2: were you doing some things that led up to that moment?
14:21
Speaker 1: Because I know people want to know how that experience
14:23
Speaker 1: comes about for anybody, How did they come about for you?
14:27
Speaker 3: So Sports Illustrated Swimsuit has an swim search opportunity and
14:35
Speaker 3: they do it every year. And so I said, listen,
14:39
Speaker 3: this year is going to be my year. So I
14:40
Speaker 3: put in a video and I sent it in, sent
14:44
Speaker 3: it in with the grace of God. I say, please,
14:45
Speaker 3: this has to be my portion. It has to be
14:47
Speaker 3: mine because I know I deserve that opportunity and that
14:50
Speaker 3: position and that space. And I sent it in and
14:55
Speaker 3: I thought it was fabulous and gorgeous. And a few
14:59
Speaker 3: months I was actually in Kenya and I get an
15:06
Speaker 3: email in the middle of the night saying, oh, you
15:09
Speaker 3: have been selected for Top twelve as the way top
15:14
Speaker 3: twenty four.
15:15
Speaker 1: I said to me, okay, okay, you just sent a
15:18
Speaker 1: video in. Yeah, so you send up making Top twenty four.
15:21
Speaker 3: So you send a video talking about yourself, what inspires you,
15:25
Speaker 3: what makes you happy, what makes you wake up in
15:27
Speaker 3: the morning, why you think you'd be a great up,
15:30
Speaker 3: like a great person to be part of the Rookies.
15:34
Speaker 3: So it wasn't just a video of me being cute,
15:35
Speaker 3: which I think can also work, but it was I
15:38
Speaker 3: was talking about my story and what inspires me and
15:41
Speaker 3: why I love SI and why I think it's important
15:43
Speaker 3: to have people.
15:44
Speaker 1: So your story, you feel, was a dominant component of
15:48
Speaker 1: you being selected at least in the top twenty four.
15:51
Speaker 3: Absolutely, because for me, my biggest thing with my platform
15:56
Speaker 3: and my brand is to make sure that women who
16:00
Speaker 3: look like me and talk like me, and have the
16:01
Speaker 3: same life experiences as me, have a platform and have
16:05
Speaker 3: a space where they can feel seen because we can't
16:08
Speaker 3: just wait for the next Lupitza Yogo to show up, right,
16:10
Speaker 3: we can't wait for the motivation and why we can't
16:13
Speaker 3: wait for the inspiration. So it just has to be you.
16:16
Speaker 3: So why not we? You know? And so I sent
16:19
Speaker 3: in a video about you know, my life and my
16:22
Speaker 3: story and why I think that's important. And I got
16:28
Speaker 3: selectually for top twenty four, then got down to top twelve,
16:33
Speaker 3: and just last summer before I walk the Sports Illustrated
16:37
Speaker 3: swim Suit show in Miami, I got picked as the
16:41
Speaker 3: top seven and got announced as rookie, which is so exciting.
16:47
Speaker 2: Wow. You know, you know, I know.
16:50
Speaker 1: It's a lot of the things you left out because
16:54
Speaker 1: you know it was a journey. You know, it's not
16:57
Speaker 1: you know, we could say she went from you know,
17:00
Speaker 1: I wrote this beautiful story about me.
17:03
Speaker 2: I just sit in there. I'm sending it.
17:04
Speaker 1: Ken you get this email up the top twenty four.
17:07
Speaker 1: I'm walking a runway and never realized bad I'm a rookie.
17:12
Speaker 2: I'm a rook.
17:16
Speaker 1: But that's you know something, when you start telling your story,
17:20
Speaker 1: it is that easy because you decided to make an effort,
17:23
Speaker 1: and a lot of people stop themselves will go to
17:27
Speaker 1: by not making that effort. And that's what I always
17:29
Speaker 1: talk about and this show. I always tell you some
17:30
Speaker 1: of my biggest enemies are ourselves. I always tell people
17:36
Speaker 1: when you look you over said, when you wake up,
17:37
Speaker 1: wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and
17:39
Speaker 1: that's me. You know, it's not gonna change. I'm not
17:43
Speaker 1: suddenly become white. I'm not suddenly gonna become small. My
17:46
Speaker 1: skin complex is not gonna change. My teeth aren't.
17:49
Speaker 2: Getting any whiter. This is me. You have to live
17:52
Speaker 2: in it.
17:53
Speaker 1: And I also believe what you are delivering, it's what's
17:55
Speaker 1: going to win. And that's what I come across with
17:58
Speaker 1: you. Your parents gave you the foundation in your manager.
18:02
Speaker 2: Was the uplift, the uplift in your life.
18:05
Speaker 1: And now as you sit here and we're talking about
18:08
Speaker 1: being twenty twenty four Sports Illustrated Swimsuit rookie, what do
18:12
Speaker 1: you mean? What do you think that means for people
18:15
Speaker 1: in America who see you and most important people back
18:18
Speaker 1: in Kenya.
18:19
Speaker 3: I think it shows that literally anyone, anyone can do it.
18:24
Speaker 3: You just have to have that little I just an
18:30
Speaker 3: ounce of belief in yourself can take you so far.
18:34
Speaker 3: I have gotten so much rejection in my life from working,
18:40
Speaker 3: from you know, relationships, through life. And if I did
18:45
Speaker 3: not have that little belief in myself that that rejection
18:48
Speaker 3: was just redirecting me to the sweet spot I needed
18:50
Speaker 3: to be in so I could be the best version
18:52
Speaker 3: of myself, then I wouldn't be sitting here with you, Rashaan, kicking,
18:57
Speaker 3: you know, having fun.
19:00
Speaker 2: You know, I got to say this to you because
19:02

Speaker 1: me go and just say that, you know, you're not
19:08
Speaker 1: You're not. Don't be realm it, don't be real because

19:14
Speaker 1: out there. There's a lot of people got that high
19:16
Speaker 1: girl walk okay, but do there? Because I do social media,
19:21
Speaker 1: it's a task to motivate people. It's a task to
19:26
Speaker 1: get up and respond to people who respond to your motivation.
19:30
Speaker 2: It's a lot of work to do to be you.
19:34
Speaker 2: You know, let's gon be real. Double a.

20:18
Speaker 3: It was very much I don't know how to describe this.
20:23
Speaker 3: There's many spaces I've walked in where I feel like
20:27
Speaker 3: an imposter syndrome, like I don't know if I really
20:29
Speaker 3: belong here, But on that day, it was such a
20:32
Speaker 3: dale of confirmation for me that I am exactly where
20:35
Speaker 3: I need to be, doing exactly what I'm supposed to

22:26
Speaker 1: you I don't.
22:26

22:33
Speaker 1: your father's accent, you know, because that's the honest side
22:39
Speaker 1: of you.
22:39

23:11
Speaker 3: lot for my audience at this point. Like you know,
23:14
Speaker 3: get a cute outfit. You can get a cute for
23:15
Speaker 3: outfit anywhere, you know what I mean. But I want,
23:18
Speaker 3: I have. We have toyed with this for so long,
23:21
Speaker 3: and I think like a retreat or a confidence tour
23:23
Speaker 3: is something that I'm looking up or looking into and
23:27
Speaker 3: something that I think would be fun and exciting and
23:30
Speaker 3: would actually make a difference in people's lives. So definitely
23:34
