Kendi is also an animal lover as she admitted that she loves cats and puppies. She has a puppy called zoe who she adores to bits. Her favorite animals, tell us that she is an independent lady who is loving and caring. So with the interview coming to an end, we asked her what advice she had to give to the fashionistas out there and this is what she had to say.
Kendi:
1). Confidence is key. Make up, fashion etc can only do so much. The rest is up to you and the view you have of yourself.
2). Shoes can make or break an outfit. So invest in great pairs.
3). Understand your body and love it as well. There is nothing bad than a girl who wears something that is clearly not for her body. And lastly, don’t always follow trends. Just cause it’s up and coming doesn’t mean it should be worn.
