Her glamorous young face graced various billboards across the country at the turn of the millennium. Most striking among them was perhaps the giant Ribena advert at the Museum Hill roundabout in Nairobi and another by the railway bridge while entering Nakuru town from the capital.

By age ten, she was a common feature in Aquafresh and Yellow Pages commercials.
Linzie Mumbi would pursue her passion for modelling into adulthood, while also proving to be a beauty with brains.
