Imari Karanja: Young, confident and hitting the big time runways

However, she and Imari’s father Erastus Karanja are careful to balance Imari’s modeling and her school work. Furthermore, they always travel with her to make sure she is not exploited.
Kudos to Vivian and Erastus for nurturing such a huge and natural talent! With their guidance, her future in the industry is surely bright.
