Afize will be heading to Lagos on the 28th November 2017 to represent Sierra Leone in the Mister Africa International Pageant.

Name/Stage Name

My name is Afize Mohamed best known as Afize Stylish.

How would you describe yourself?

 I am energetic person who strives to better mine and my family’s life. I work hard on daily basis and it took real discipline to reach who I am now. I love sports almost as much as I love my family (giggles*). But seriously, I am a huge gym motivated enthusiast and I take my health very seriously.

 How long have you been doing modelling/fashion?

I’ve been in modelling since 2015 but I’ve done some acting in music videos before that.

Why modelling / fashion?

Modelling is fun and I have the chance to meet many different people.

What Projects have you worked on and which one is your favourite and why?

I have worked on few projects over the past 2 years including I care children foundation and the wristband appeal but my own favourite is United Africa.

United Africa is our own clothing brand promoting unity and peace internationally. We aiming to sell our hats, t-shirts and other fashion items worldwide as well as donating part of the profits to I care children foundation.  

Who do you inspire to be in the modelling and fashion industry? 

 ?????????????????????????????

How did you get into the fashion and modelling industry? 

At the time, I was spotted by one of my team members where she recognised some potential (laughing*) and asked me to take few pictures. From there I was promoted on different modelling platforms like Starnow and models.com and here I am today.  

Where do you see yourself in the next 2-3 years in the fashion and modelling Industry?

I am aiming to become an international model wearing designers like Gucci and Calvin Klein at the same time promoting Sierra Leone in major fashion brands.

Your Challenges?

I find it challenging to be a black man in modelling industry as I must fight twice as hard to get casts. I would like to change the views of fashion designers and retailers and encourage to introduce more black men models. 

Your proudest moment to date?

My proudest moment is my son who was born in September this year.

If you were not doing modelling, fitness and fashion what would you wanted to do as a second option?

I don’t imagine myself not being in modelling industry, but if I had to choose something else I would put all of my focus in business I am building.

Do you have any future dates planned such as events that you might want the readers to know about? (Explain about the beauty competition in Nigeria)

I have few things lined up for this and next year which I can’t disclose yet (giggling*) but what I can tell you that I will be going to Nigeria in November to part take in Mister Africa International to represent Sierra Leone. Thanks to Ise Wurie who has given me the opportunity. You can find all the information about the trip on my Facebook, website, Instagram. Of course, don’t forget to visit go fund me page to make this happen.

Your advice and tips for individuals who want to follow your footstep/career path?

I would like to say to all, just be yourself and work hard. It’s not all about the professional pictures that promotes you, it’s really your personality. Of course, good team and support from your family too (giggle*).

How can they contact you through social media?

How to Make Money with a Blog for beginners in 2020

Are you looking for the top ways to make money online that are NOT scams? WordPress is the largest publishing platform on the planet, and it powers over 30% of all websites.

You can use WordPress and blogging to earn money online by doing what you love. You can work from home, at your own time, and there is no limit on how much money you can make.

Let’s face it – all the technical stuff, the complicated decisions and the platform options are not important to you right now. You want to know where the money is. Don’t worry my friend – it’s coming. Blogging has become one of the single easiest profit building tools out there and for affiliate marketers with only minimal technical knowledge, it’s the absolute first tool in your kit at all times.

But, the rest of this stuff is still important. Gotta walk before you run and you have to crawl before you can walk and right now we’re all crawling together as we get your first blog up and running. Eventually, however, the opportunities for profit are going to be more than you can count. In this article, we will share top “proven” ways to make money online blogging with WordPress.

Here are just some of the many, ways marketers use to start a basic blog into an income source:

Review Site

A classic blog with reviews intermittently incorporated can make a LOT of money if the readers are there. The goal for you will be to find a niche in need of solid reviews and a readership that will trust what you have to say about a new product.

Banner Ads

High traffic sites can often make money without having to openly shill anything. Banner ads take advantage of valuable screen real estate and most people expect them to be there.

List Building

Every affiliate marketing blog should use list building as a money making tactic. A flying popover or even just an in-text form helps get readership on your side and build a long term relationship that can be leveraged for sales.

Squeeze Page

Using a blog as a squeeze page requires valuable, enticing content of some sort, but the platform is perfect for it and requires almost no coding on your end.

Direct Sales

More and more IM sites are using WordPress and other CMS platforms for making their sales. They provide plugins for processing payments, creating memberships, and managing large chunks of content in a membership site.

Viral Hub

Long, link baiting posts, videos, and images make fantastic viral content and as a blog, you are prime bait for other sites seeking fresh content.

AdSense

Any style of blog can benefit from AdSense placement, especially if you can create a true authority site and generate regular traffic.

As you can see, there are a LOT of ways to make money with a blog and this is only scratching the surface. However this are just few ways to make money through blogging.

NEW MUSIC: Star Zee ft. Stonebwoy – Leader (Prod. by Beatz Dakay)

NEW MUSIC: Star Zee ft. Stonebwoy – Leader (Prod. by Beatz Dakay)

In the midst of all the growing controversy where many headlines held it over the weekend that Beatz Dakay has turned down Stonebwoy’s offer to return to BhimNation, Sierra Leonean Dancehall Superstar, Star Zee, drops her new joint with the BhimNation Boss, Stonebwoy.

“Leader” produced by Beatz Dakay is tipped to be the next big African Dancehall jam. The DoZ Queen (Star Zee) and this BhimNation link will go a long way to cement strong bonds between Ghana and Sierra Leone as both countries already have some historical connections.

QueenKong ‘aka’ Star Zee lyrically has proved herself why she is the biggest Dancehall crooner from Sierra Leone; a lyrically deadly female singjay who matches her male counterparts boot-for-boot on riddim and there wasn’t a single dull moment from her on the song from start to finish. The official video which already began heavy rotation in Ghana (on 4Syte TV, TV7 & others) as well as big rotation in Sierra Leone on AYV TV is due to take over other TV Networks across Africa.

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

Linda Samai), known popularly as Star Zee, the daughter of Mr. Patrick Samai (former vocalist in the military dance band) and Mrs. Sombo Samai (medical nurse) is a Sierra Leonean musician, born and raised in Freetown. She enrolled in various performing arts group and was first exposed to the music industry at the age of 14 when she joined the Stress Inc Records. After passing all the auditions in Stress Inc Records, Star Zee was automatically introduced in a group called Ladies day out (L.D.O). By then L.D.O comprised of 4 female artists (Star Zee, Lady Felecia, Julie and Thelma). In December, 1998, the group (L.D.O) released an album titled “Focus On Africa”. Star Zee’s inputs on that album brought her great fame in the music industry in Sierra Leone and beyond; she however went solo and hasn’t looked back since.
