Being a performer at the age of 11 is no easy feat. But for local rising star Gizelle, aka Miss G, on stage is where she feels most at home. The Mossel Bay-based and Centurion-born starlet has just returned from a trip to the States, where she took part in the International Modeling and Talent Association (IMTA), the largest talent convention in the world. It is here that she was scouted and invited to walk the runway for renowned designer Amelia Tuu at New York Fashion Week on 11 September.
