I have participated in different successful fashion shows around Tanzania.
I am a teacher by profession. With the influence of sex almost everywhere in the world of today I will still remain a virgin until my wedding night. It is the only respect I can reward my body. And this way I cannot worry about sexual transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. I believe that I am not abnormal as others may think. I am physically and mentally fit. I am just keeping myself clean.
Love is not all about sex. I have been in two relationships; however, none of them matured to pave the way for the next step. I am virgin by choice and not lack of opportunities as my social life is very vibrant. But I could not keep these guys as they wanted to trap me into sex before marriage. I met Angelo in We became good friends and later we started dating.

I knew something was wrong somewhere. I ignored the situation knowing that he was seeing another woman. As the relationship entered month five, he officially cut off communication.
