Joram Muzira Shares Gems & Highlights From His Noteworthy Year

Joram Muzira Job, the creative director of Joram Model Management, has had quite a year, and what better way to end it than being our ‘Person of the Year’? From launching careers of some of the biggest International-Ugandan models to owning the biggest modeling agency in Uganda, dare I say, East Africa, our man of the hour has rightfully so earned the star maker & trailblazer titles.

He started out wanting to be a model, but at the time, the look most agencies were going for was a far cry from his own. He tried to pivot and audition for Big Brother Africa, but even that was met with resistance. This didn’t stop him from trying to make a difference anyway he knew how, and along the way he found his niche nurturing and managing models.

“I strongly believe that dreams are valid now. Before, it was more or less like, ’Oh my God, I pray this happens for me; I pray one day fashion changes for the better,’ but I feel like this particular year has been a big manifestation of those dreams. When you put in the work, the consistency, and passion, it pays off. I imagine 10 years ago; I was a little boy dreaming that one day fashion is going to change in this country. I’m super happy that 10 years later, people respect the industry.”

“I’ve learned that you have to be great, and you cannot be apologetic about it. Have your standards, and even when people think that you’re impossible to work with, provided you know exactly what you want, and where you are going, stick to it and the right people will come along for you.”
