Wow… I love African Beauty… She’s from Congo but spent most of her teen years in South Africa because of the political conflict in Congo at the time… If she looks familiar to some of you it’s because u may have seen her in the Ludacris video “Pimpin all over the world”, or in the show “Deal or no Deal”… on her profile on the Sport Illustrated South Africa website she says that she loves painting, hanging out w/friends, read and chilling w/her sibblings…

Hometown: Born in Democratic Republic of the Congo - Lumbumbashi

How do you keep in shape? I don’t sleep in, LOL. I do kickboxing (with a personal trainer), basket ball with my brothers and salsa twice a week.
How do you feel about going on the 2007 Sports Illustrated Swimwear shoot to Malaysia? WOW! Did I say wow! It’s my absolute dream come true. It still hasn’t sunk in!

Here is a bonus video of today’s This Is Why I Love Africa…
