Slay the Runway: A Simple Catwalk Routine for Beginners

 A simple catwalk routine is all about confidence, grace, and rhythm. Whether you're a beginner or just practicing for fun, an easy routine starts with mastering your posture. Stand tall, shoulders back, and keep your chin slightly up. Your walk should be smooth and natural—place one foot directly in front of the other, as if walking on an invisible straight line. Let your arms swing gently at your sides in a relaxed way.

Begin with a basic runway walk: take about six to eight steps forward, then stop and pose. Hold the pose for a few seconds to show off your outfit or confidence. Then, pivot smoothly using one foot to turn around, and walk back with the same steady pace. You can add variation by including a simple spin or changing your pose at the end.

The key is to keep your movements controlled and consistent. Practice in front of a mirror or record yourself to improve your technique. Choose music with a steady beat to help you maintain rhythm. With regular practice, this simple catwalk routine will help you build stage presence, boost your self-esteem, and get comfortable walking like a pro in no time!

From Acting to Directing – Ian Mwangi’s Creative Reign

What starts as a childhood hobby can sometimes shape your entire destiny, just ask Ian Mwangi. Long before he walked the halls of KCA university,Ian was already editing videos on his mother’s phone,unknowingly laying the foundation for a career in media. Today, he is not only a founder of Supremenous Production but has also worked with several Kenyan celebrities and even made an appearance on Neema, a local series airing on Citizen Tv.

“I’m always in competition with myself,”Ian says . A simple yet powerful mantra that reflects his drive.

At KCA, Ian specialized in videography, editing, motion graphics and graphic design. His time there sharpened his skills and fueled his dream of building something of his own. That dream turned into Supremenous Production which is a creative company which offers media services to clients and businesses.

The idea took shape while working for a friend who had started a media company at a young age and was doing great in that field. The experience paired with the hate of a 9-5 job made Ian realize he wanted freedom, creativity and control over his own projects. “I didn’t like the routine. I wanted to be my own boss,”he explains. Of course, starting a business wasn't easy. Financing was the first major challenge. He saved , got the licenses and build a client base . At first ,convincing clients to take a chance on a new business was tough but he stayed consistent. One of the Ian’s most unexpected opportunities came when he was on his way to pitch himself at Jiffy Pictures.

He met Brenda, an actor on Neema and connected with creatives Samiro and Shigwan Shiku offering to help them shoot their content and that’s when Brenda asked if he could act. On the spot, he was asked to perform a scene with no script just raw energy. “ It was crazy, having to a create a script and act infront of them,” Ian recalls. He didn’t get feedback for two weeks and assumed the chance had slipped away. But the callback came and with it ,a foot in the door. Since then,he has worked with names like Carlos the Experience,Vidola UG and others.

These experiences gave him firsthand look at highs and lows of the creative industry. Among his many projects, one stands out for him; a short film called Sssshhhh! Though the footage was lost and never posted, it was a pivotal moment for Ian. It was his first time creating a full short film solo, just him, a camera and his cousin.

He learned to make fake blood, experiment with special effects and push the limits of his creativity. As a class representative during his university days, Ian says his discipline and consistency helped him balance studies and client work. When challenges come, he reminds himself of the one thing: why he started. His advice for young creatives? “ If you have an idea, go for it. Don’t give up. If you do the it’ll never see the light. Focus on the journey not just the destination.”

 Looking ahead, Ian hopes to grow Supremenous Production , produce more quality films and hit 100k subscribers on their channel.

His story is a reminder that with passion, patience and a little boldness , dreams can turn into careers and sometimes even into screen time.

Healing Our Roots: Reclaiming African Medicine and Nutrition for a Healthier Future

 For centuries, African communities relied on traditional medicine—rooted in nature, spirituality, and ancestral wisdom—to heal and maintain health. Remedies crafted from herbs, roots, and native plants were passed down through generations, offering holistic treatments that connected body, mind, and spirit. But the rise of global pharmaceutical industries, or “Big Pharma,” has gradually pushed these practices to the fringes.

Through media, advertising, and institutional dominance, Big Pharma has painted traditional African medicine as outdated or unscientific, while promoting synthetic drugs as superior. This narrative has led many to abandon indigenous healing practices, not because they failed, but because they were overshadowed by profit-driven systems that rarely honor cultural knowledge.

At the same time, modern Western-influenced diets—high in processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats—have contributed to rising rates of obesity, diabetes, and hypertension, especially within Black communities worldwide. In the diaspora, these health issues have led to shorter life expectancies and lower quality of life, particularly in underserved communities where access to fresh, whole foods is limited.

However, a movement is emerging—one that urges a return to ancestral wellness. By rediscovering the power of traditional African medicine and embracing more natural, nutrient-rich diets, we can reclaim health and longevity. Incorporating herbs like moringa, neem, and hibiscus, alongside indigenous food staples like millet, sorghum, and leafy greens, promotes healing from the inside out.

Education is key. Learning about our ancestors’ approaches to wellness and blending that wisdom with modern insights can empower us to take control of our health. It’s not about rejecting all of modern medicine—but rather, about restoring balance.

The path to healing is not in forgetting our roots, but in honoring them. In doing so, we don’t just preserve culture—we improve lives
