Aspiring Sunnyside actress on her way to America
She will be showcasing her talent during the convention in front of 300 agencies around the world.
Sunnyside aspiring actress and model Eulen Mokgithi will showcase her talent at one of the biggest talent conventions in the world when she visits the USA.
The 26-year-old said her goal was to not only showcase her talent to the world but to inspire young girls to dream big.
Mokgithi was born in Tzaneen, Limpopo, but moved to Pretoria to pursue her career at the Puo Media performing arts.

She said her mum has always been her biggest supporter even when she was entering beauty pageants at a young age.
“I grew up wanting to become a model and never outgrew my love for beauty pageants and that’s the reason I joined the school for performing arts at the SA State Theatre. My mum has always supported my dreams,” she said.
Speaking of inspiration, Mokgithi mentioned Natasha Thahane as the person she looked up to.
“As young as she is, she managed to reach America and was invited to the New York film academy. She pursued her career in acting and she is a big star today. Like myself, she started with nothing and now she’s well-known.”
Mokgithi says although modelling was her first love, acting was something she was getting better at.
In July, she together with her agency “33 and Me” will showcase their talents at one of the biggest talent conventions in the world.
“I am one of the lucky ones who got invited to New York City where I will be networking with professional actors and talent search recruitment agents. I will also be showcasing my talent during the convention in front of 300 agencies around the world. Those agencies include Tyler Perry studio, New York film academy and many others,” she said.
“After my entry, about six agencies from America selected me and that’s when I got a congratulatory letter from the former CEO of Ford Models, Joey Hunter.”
Drawing her acting inspiration from Thandeka King and Taraj P Henson, she believes she has what it takes to be a successful actress.
“As an actor, I can connect with them in the way they bring a character to life and make it look so real and that is more important.”
Mokgithi urged young aspiring models and actors like herself to never give up
“Just follow your dreams and believe in yourself because no one else will, regardless of what your situation is. Always remember that you have been chosen by God to have this talent, so why not share it for the world to see?”
