EP 13: Energy Flows Where Attention Goes, Gambian Food, Overcoming Being Swindled to Become a Model, A Passion for Helping, featuring Amina Marong

Welcome to our Christmas episode, and thank you for being there all of this journey. I shall be taking a break until the first weekend of January 2020 after today's episode.

In this episode, we get to meet the fabulous Amina Marong, who was born in Banjul, the capital of the Gambia, aka the Smiling Coast of Africa. Amina would migrate to the United States over two decades ago and thus begin a journey that would take her from working in high-end retail (cosmetics and luxury products) to also working in modeling.

Amina has done print and editorial modeling along with showrooms. She is well into the creative mindset due to studying interior design/decor at NYIT. Amina's biggest passion is for her nonprofit charity, "Amina's Helping Hands." An organization that she uses to bring smiles to countless children and youth in The Gambia.
