“Black Rose is for black girls who are all beautiful though it is not easy to find them since most of them think they can not pursue a career in modeling,” Sipe said adding that she has always wanted to have a modeling agency and support girls who have lack fees for college after their secondary school.

“This is not about me or money but about the girls, at least they will be earning something and be able to pay their colleges avoiding early marriages,” she said.

Currently, the agency has 15 girls and it is to fundraise for the people that are homeless and struggling to survive due to the floods.

“The fundraising has delayed due to my illness but when am back on my feet, I will visit the Department of Disaster Preparedness and Management to see where we can start from,” she said.
