“When I first got into reality TV, I made the mistake of not being true to myself, and boy oh boy, was I called out,” she said.

She believes that authenticity keeps viewers engaged.

“There are over eight billion people in the world, and everyone is unique. We want someone who is authentically themselves,” she said.

Mrs Mops also highlights the power of a strong team in shaping a successful career.

“From PR professionals to agents and makeup stylists, everyone you work with has the power to shape your career, for better or worse. Surrounding yourself with the right people can make all the difference in achieving long-term success,” she said.

For those looking to grow their presence, she stresses the importance of consistency, especially on social media.

“To grow your presence, you need to be consistent. Post every day; that’s the smarter way to grow your audience,” she said.

Through her masterclass, Mrs Mops guides the next generation of reality TV stars with her no-nonsense advice and real-life experience.

She started her career as an actress before stepping into reality TV. Her charm, confidence, and ability to entertain made her one of Mzansi’s most recognisable faces. Now, she’s using her experience to help others break into the industry and build their brands.
