The successful makeup and skincare professional, Coco Danczuk, achieved her childhood dream and is now running a company of her own in Rwanda.

We asked Coco a range of questions, while she was in Rwanda in an exclusive interview.

She was only 12 years old when she discovered her love for makeup.

Coco practised all her skills on herself, and learnt from her Auntie.

In her words, “If you don’t feel comfortable doing it on yourself, then you won’t feel comfortable doing it on others”.

Coco shared inspirational words on what it takes to be successful: ‘You can do it if you enjoy- there’s no limit of age'.

She explained to our Jill Dando Journalists that, ‘if passionate, it will come easier’ and regarding her make-up and skincare business, she claimed 'it's all about self-love’.

Those quotes show that anything you put you mind to is possible and to never give up on your dreams.
