NAIROBI, KENYA: Her striking physique and youthful beauty point to Brenda Ochieng’s former life as a classic fashion model. She made it big in modelling circles and even formed her own modelling company through which she popularised African clothing. However, Brenda, 47, couldn’t really enjoy the high moments on the runway as long as she maintained a close relationship with alcohol. Heavy drinking, she says, ruined her huge potential.
