| Mwai - a beauty and a rights activist. |
With
her stunning smile
She
talks little. But even then – her silence too speaks volumes. It speaks of a
young Malawian woman geared and destined for greater things. A young woman with
not only a passion for books, but also for looks. A passion for modeling.
She
wants to soar. She wants to become the best.
“I
want to become the best model in the world,” says Mwai.
With
her looks – beautiful looks I mean. She should have easily chosen to scamper
the country’s streets at night as a pleasure consultant. But she doesn’t. She
is a school going young woman – with no time for nonsense.

“Fellow
girls must make sure they are not exploited by lusty men,” she advises.
So,
from Monday to Friday she is in class. Studying for her Bachelors in Land
Management. She is in her second year at Mzuzu University. During weekends, she humbly interacts
with peers.
She
is a beauty with brains. She is intelligent. You can feel it when you see her
smile. Talk. Laugh.
Unlike
most up-and-coming models who always think of investing in charity work, Mwai
brings to the fore an interesting ambition.
As
a Malawian model, she wants to champion rights for women. She wants to squeal
against women victimization.
“It
is painful that to-date, some men victimize their wives,” she observes.
Given
a chance, she says, she will set up an organization that will champion the
rights for women.
“I’m
a freedom fighter. I want to on behalf of fellow women,” adds Mwai.
