Beauty influencer Thato Prudence, 29, from Virginia in the Free State, has opened up about her personal struggles and insecurities, which many of her followers may not know. She admits that her crooked teeth once made her dread speaking and laughing, affecting her self-confidence and career opportunities.
However, everything changed when she decided to wear braces. Thato emphasized that confidence is essential for success, saying, “When you’re confident and love yourself, you’re more likely to move forward with opportunities. Confidence fuels resilience, motivation, and a belief in your ability to succeed.”
Her journey into content creation began with a simple idea: tagging brands in her photos in hopes they would notice her. Although she never expected content creation to become a full-time career, Thato quickly realized it was a powerful way to build her confidence, shape online conversations, and engage with her audience through heartfelt videos and creative posts.
Currently a tourism student set to graduate this year, Thato has always dreamed of working with L’Oréal Paris. “Who wouldn’t want to work with such a prestigious brand? They offer top-quality cosmetics, haircare, and perfume worldwide, making them one of the best in the industry,” she shared.
