Streamer / Content Creator
My name is Shakirah Sithole. I’m a black Muslim creative, a makeup artist, model and law student . Born and raised in Johannesburg I’ve always wanted to find myself infront of a camera. I have huge interest in the arts and finding multiple ways to connect with people. I’m a linguistics fanatic and also enjoy learning languages , I am currently learning Japanese and a little bit of Arabic . I started learning Japanese after finding myself engrossed in the anime world and now I do some Japanese voice overs , impressions and multiple accents on TikTok. I only hope to grow as an artist and better my craft.
