Who am I?

My name is Lerato Mosala, I am 24 years old. I am quirky, I literally laugh at my own jokes. I am goofy and a kid at heart. I love with everything in me. If I tell you I love you, I mean it. I am strong willed and independent, I find myself wanting to be a leader and not a follower. I am very competitive and will definitely be a sore winner. I help others where I can, I'm always happy to bring a smile on someone's face. I love to travel, it gives me peace and quiet, one day I want to explore the world. I love to network, meeting new people is so exciting and opens me up for great and unlimited opportunities. I am very optimistic, I try my level best to make the most of my experiences and to turn them into positives. I am very intuitive, so I've learnt to follow my heart and instincts. I learn from my mistakes, always have and always will. Mistakes are opportunities for change. Most importantly, I am a young bold and confident woman, a feminist who sees the world in a modern perspective. I believe in myself and still learning that the only person who can stop me from achieving my goals is myself. And yeah, I love to have fun in everything I do and with everyone.


What do I think about The Fashion Hero TV series?

I think fashion hero TV series is the best thing that have ever happened to models like me, who have talent and believe in themselves, but limited by the industry because of their appearance. It is a great platform for all of us to finally fullfil the dream we all had as kids, and gives us the opportunity to face and let the world challenge us, so that we can become the best versions of ourselves. This is a series that gives everyone a chance. It doesn't judge you like the rest of the word, it only gives you a chance to prove yourself willingly, and that's the best thing ever.


Why would I be a great role model for this generation and inspire people as the new face of The Fashion Hero?

My life story is my motivation. And I know that when I make it In life, it will touch lot of souls. Despite what have happened in my life, I am here today, fighting for my dreams. This generation needs role models like me. I will inspire and preach to this generation to follow their hearts, life is too short and everyone have something that they are passionate about. They must be able to say that fear didn't hold them back, because the price of not following your heart is spending the rest of your life wishing you had. Don't allow people to live their dreams through you, it's delaying your progress. Listen, I believe in myself, even if I fail, it doesn't mean I'll always fail, I'll keep trying. Every success begins with believing in yourself. I live by high standards. The quality of who I am is reflected by the standards I set for myself. You must position yourself to live up to the rise of your own expectations. I treat people the way I want to be treated, that means I treat people good because that's how I want to be treated. I look for positivity in all things. I speak up. When I don't speak up for the things that matter to me, I am not being true to myself. When I speak my mind I stand with confidence and gain courage. I am a responsible person. I am grateful for lot of things in life. I am making a difference, no matter how big or small it is, it has changed someone's life, and I did it out of love. These are some the best qualities that make a great role model. This generation needs to be reminded about the power we all have as individuals and how much that would change the world, I am a living example to that. If only people could realise that the power is within them, not out there in the world, they could achieve a lot. We need people who don't look at their current situation and belittle themselves or be intimidated by those they think they are better than them. Your past and your background doesn't determine who you are, how the world sees you doesn't determine your worth. Only you can determine all that. If you believe in yourself, anything is possible. And I believe in myself, and I know that I can change the world. Because my life goal is to leave a mark wherever I go. My story is going to be memorable because it's going to be the best story it can be, because that's what I am worth. I will make the most of my time on this earth and I will never apologize for who I am. This is me, and there's only one me. That's the kind of attitude and positivity we need in this generation. I just wanna spread it and see people taking action to change their own lives, taking opportunities presented to them like I am doing with Fashion Hero. And I want to change the world through my hard work, my personal journey and being selfless. I want the whole universe to see the change through me, especially our little brothers and sisters, because when I'm old and no longer have it in me, they must continue and take over the world. Now, wouldn't that change the world!
