I will be representing Botswana and bringing back international exposure as the event will be shown on televisions and published in international media. I also aim to be victorious at the convention not only for myself but for my sponsors, my country and for Model Atts Models,” she told Arts & Culture in an interview.
Mosweu indicated that her desire is to impart knowledge and skills to other aspiring models and to help the youth to discover the geniuses in them. She also said she wants to make the youth realise the potential and abilities they have.
“They can actually brighten up their future through talent. For me to be there shows them that being in the international stage is not impossible,” said Mosweu.
The lady from Mahetlwe, further indicated that as an unemployed degree holder of Health Information Management, she decided to invest in her modeling talent and passion. “I am currently pursuing my dream of being an international supermodel.
