Karen Nyamu quit modelling to concentrate on studying law after her dad's intervention

Nyamu mentioned that she was scouted for the Miss Kenya beauty contest due to her physical attributes, and many believed she would become the winner that year.

"When in Law school I was scouted for Miss Kenya beauty contest. Because of my height and bust waist hips coordinates, Chris Kirwa and team were convinced they had found that year’s winner," Nyamu wrote.

Despite all the hype and preparation, Karen Nyamu enrolled in modeling lessons, where she learned the art of walking and controlling her lower body movements.

However, her dreams of pursuing a career in modeling were abruptly shattered when her father intervened. He presented her with a difficult choice: continue with her law studies or pursue modeling.

In the end, Nyamu had no choice but to prioritise her law studies, and she humorously noted that this is how her modeling aspirations came to a halt.

Chris Kirwa commented that while Nyamu's dad may have won the argument at the time, they could have also emerged victorious in the modeling contest had they proceeded with their plans.
