Mukasa Proud to be Australian

USPA NEWS - Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1998 Tina Mukasa was raised in a loving family with 5 siblings but all was not life through rose coloured glasses as her mother was killed in the war as she fled with her remaining family to a refugee camp in Tanzania. Tina was separated from twin sister Neema who she never saw for almost 10 years. “Life in the refugee camp was very difficult“, said Mukasa . I asked Mukasa what life was like as she grew up in the4 Tanzanian Refugee Camp as tears began to flow. “Through years of starvation, illness, and trauma my father did all he could to save the family. We were finally saved and accepted as refugees by the Australian Government relocating to Shepparton , Australia in 2005.“

“I began my school education in Shepparton, having to learn English and catch up the first two years of school. This bad start and having to learn English took years to overcome. Now I am currently in my second year studying a Bachelor of Health Sciences major in public health in hopes to work in the Government Sector.“ Mukasa now follows her passion in modelling to send a message to all women experiencing adversity that if they put their mind to anything , it is possible. This week Mukas was invited to Los Angeles to participate in the “˜LA Fashion Catwalk´ by Australian designer Azulant Akora. “It´s a dream come true to be walking for the LA longest catwalk in history accredited by “˜Guinness Word Record´ Fashion Catwalk. It´s an honor to represent Australia and to be wearing an award Winning Perth fashion designer Azulant Akora label in LA“, Smiled Mukasa. “Despite my upbringing in the refugee camp I still thrive to chase my dreams to make it into in a reality. My purpose in life is to inspire other young people from all different walk of life to come out of their comfort zone with the purpose to bring their gifts and talents“. Mukasa went on to say, “I also hope to motive our future generation to never give up on their dream because I positively believe that dreams do come into a reality if you work hard for it. My goal in life is to represent young strong ambitious refugee women, from diverse backgrounds who have experienced war around the world. My dream is to be on the Vogue Cover, Vogue Paris, walk for Chanel, walk for Versace, meet Naomi Campbell, Rihanna and Tyra Banks“.

Actor and Model Brooke Shields once said , "Someone said adversity builds character, but someone else said adversity reveals character. I'm pleasantly surprised with my resilience. I persevere, and not just blindly. I take the best, get rid of the rest, and move on, realizing that you can make a choice to take the good."
