“I am flying straight to the US to prepare after which I will head for the competition. I should be able to communicate to you while there and keep you updated,” she said.
Mose would become the first-ever Kenyan to be crowned Miss Supranational should she win the competition.
The fast-rising model is an undergraduate, who is studying Bachelor of Fine Arts in Screen Acting and New Media in the United States.
Miss Supranational is a pageant system meant to inspire aspirational women and is one of the big five International pageant families; others are Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss International and Miss Earth.
“I started a project Woman Without Limits, where I encourage women to be limitless by investing in personal growth as well as educating them on how mental health ties to personal growth.
Within this project, I created an Instagram mini-project, The Heart-to-Heart series. I have been lucky to host title holders from all over the world to speak on how they handle challenges,” she said.
Barely two years after Tanasha Donna and Bey T stormed the internet to fight over a catchphrase, Tanasha has finally given details on her beef with the rapper for the first time.
According to the musician, the misunderstanding came after they both disagreed on an issue.
In an interview with KISS FM, the musician cum entrepreneur said Bey T was young and was misled by people into instigating petty quarrels.
“Honestly speaking I think it was just a misunderstanding, it started over a quote, the ‘Kenya to the world’ thing. And I like she was young at the time and like people tried instigating drama. You know how people can be… people can easily corrupt one’s mind, especially when there is nothing going on,” she said.
According to Tanasha, it is easy to have the feeling that people are out to kill your shine when starting, especially as a young girl in a competitive industry.
“Talking from experience as a young girl you can feel easily like people are out to get you or steal your shine…but I feel like she’s a great artist so she was trying to spit some bars which she is amazing at and I’ll give her credit for that,” she added.
The mother of one confirmed that they have a good relationship following their beef and now are both open to the idea of collaborating with Bey T even though the two have never met yet.
“Why not? I mean I like her music and she’s amazing. Plus, right now, we’re at a good place, we haven’t really met but we have people in common whom we work with,” she said.
Amid their banter, Bey T went ahead to drop a diss track called ‘Don to the Donna’ attacking Tanasha for allegedly sampling her music in 2019.
“Someone tell Tanasha to stop wave riding,” Bey T wrote on Instagram at the time.
According to the rapper, the phrase “Kenya to the World” originated from her, but Tanasha stole it.
