Thursday All Access- In Conversation with Connie Zitha

  Meet Connie Zitha who has mastered the art of plaiting, and hair magic. While her 7year old peers were running the streets, she was getting lessons on how to plait hair by her mom. This didn't sit well with her in fact it came as an irritation, but little did she know that the plaiting lessons would build her an empire.  I had a chance to sit down and get to know her business a bit better.  At the age of 13 years she started taking plaiting seriously, even got encouragement from clients to start her own business. She took this into consideration after she matriculated, although her plans were to study either psychology, teaching or nursing. But as you know life has a way of redirecting us at times.

As a child I told myself that I would never want to run into Laqasha in a dark alley.       #2 Stefano DiMera from days of our lives     This man has to be the baddest villain I've watched on television. He taunted people, even from beyond the grave. His obsession with Marlena was the most scariest thing to watch. He terrified  me for years even now I still get nightmares.            #3 David Genaro from Rhythm City     This character will definitely go down in history as one of the baddest villains we've ever witnessed.  His ability to control any situation to suit
