Her magazine has profiled various industry elites including International makeup artist and entrepreneur Jacque Mgido.
Diana’s drive to inspire others is what motivated her to recently launch free online modelling classes and mentorship.
“I want to share my experiences to help others,” she says. Through live lessons and pre-recorded videos, Diana aims to provide accessibility to aspiring models anywhere.
She will offer portfolio reviews and one-on-one coaching tailored to individual goals.
In the past, Diana has sponsored projects that showcase African talent. She supported the outfits, makeup and photography for Nicole Madimutsa who went on to win a pageant in Nigeria.
Diana says “I’m looking to do more projects that open doors for African creatives.”
It is clear that through her remarkable success and giving spirit, Diana Mupereri is leaving an immense impact.
With her experience at top industry events and passion for empowering others, she is sure to continue inspiring many more as both a role model and mentor. Under Diana’s guidance, the next generation of African talent will no doubt achieve their dreams.
