Olive Gachara Career
In 2004, at only 17, she signed up for Miss Malaika Kenya. She didn’t win. In fact, she wasn’t even a finalist. She says she was too thin and too young at the time. Still, the experience proved instructive. Her early foray into pageantry paved the way for a career in “fashionpreneurship”, as she likes to refer to it.
In 2015 she started KINKEY Modeling and Talent Agency. After two years of running her modeling agency, she was approached to be a magazine fashion stylist. She has since run fashion editorials for local and regional magazines ranging from African Woman and Kenya Yetu to Prestige Signature and mSafiri. She’s now the publisher of COUTURE Africa magazine.
In July 2011, at age 25, Gachara launched Image with Olive, an image consultancy. Her business offers services on personal branding, communication skills, professional image, and etiquette. Gachara now counts multinational corporations among her cilents, including Barclays, CFC Stanbic Bank, Farmer’s Choice, and KPMG.
