Quote: "Friendly, Unbelievable, Charitable: Is Khahlela Umfula a star?"
Attire: She wears fairly loose clothing, colorful and full of print. Around her neck is many golden rings, starting from just under her chin and down to her shoulders, which as pushed her torso down and made her neck incredibly long and slender. Her shape is that of a plump, gentle curving pear, a small top with a slightly bigger bottom and long, slender legs and willowy arms and fingers. She's beautiful in Africa, her skin the darkest ebony, but her lips and palms and bottoms of her feet slightly lighter. Adorned on her wrists are bangles with many colors and made of silver and gold and jingle when she walks. Her ear rings aren't like normal American piercings. Her ears are almost completely full of gold, silver, diamond and obviously fake colored stones, and even a few chains. Her finger nails are long and usually un-matching in color, varying in hues of blue and purple.
While she's not skinny, she's not fat, but in the center of the two. With the help of her agent, of course. Her hips are her best feature. She describes them as "J-Lo". Her fingers are long and spider like, perfect for any rings that she happened to wear. While on this audition, she wears no rings. Her lips are full, almost to full for her face, and usually painted a light brown/red shade to take the focus off her flat nose. She's pretty in a sense, but not model pretty, which is why she's not a model. Plus, she's had enough dieting, as she'd say when asked. Her agent often told her Africans do better as models because of their exotic looks.
Personality: She doesn't come right out and talk about herself; Khahlela is more of the type who listens to others and attempts to help if they're in trouble. She's quiet when she speaks, and her English isn't too grand, but she gets by. She's polite when need be, but takes her rituals and her heritage seriously. She's not one for American style music, like rap and rock, but she does enjoy jazz and pop, liking the sounds of the band.
But, when put in a room of herself and maybe three others and nothing is happening, that's when she attempts to lighten things up and 'act'. This means that she just goes about acting silly, trying to get people to laugh and relax around one another at least to start up an conversation. She's not above making herself look stupid or silly for the sake of friendship. And while she won't talk about herself, she'll talk about almost anything else, even if it's a randomly popped off comment like: "I like cereal." She'll go off that and tell you what kind she likes and what she doesn't and maybe end up on a completely different subject, if you can understand here, that is.

Pemba The island of Pemba known as 'Al Jazeera Al Khadra' (the green island, in Arabic) is an island forming part of the Zanzibar archipelago, lying off the east coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. It is situated about 50 kilometres to the north of the island of Unguja, more commonly (and incorrectly) known as Zanzibar. In the 1960s Zanzibar was united with the former colony of Tanganyika to form Tanzania. It lies 50 kilometres east of mainland Tanzania. Together with Mafia Island (south of Zanzibar), they form the Spice Islands. In 1988, the estimated population was 265,000, with an area of 980 km². Most of the island, which is regarded to be hillier and more fertile than Zanzibar, is dominated by small scale farming. There is large scale farming of cash crops such as cloves — there are over 3 million clove trees. In previous years the island was seldom visited due to inacessibility and a reputation for political violence, with the notable exception of those drawn by its reputation as a center for traditional medicine and witchcraft. People come from as far away as Zaire to seek spiritual and physical healers. There is a very large Arab community on the island who immigrated from Oman. The population is a mix of Arab and original Swahili inhabitants of the island. More recently with the booming tourism industry in neighbouring Zanzibar, more adventurous travellers are seeking out the less-crowded Pemba, led by dive tourists seeking the uncrowded and un-spoiled reefs the island offers the experienced diver. The most important towns in Pemba are Chake Chake, Mkoani, and Wete. The north of Pemba is a very fertile place; the locals grow mainly rice and red beans called maharagwe in Kiswahili. In very small quantities they also grow coffee on the island. The Portuguese introduced bullfights in the 17th century, which are still held to this day in more humane, modified Islamic form, during which the animals are tied to a post and challenged to a chase by brave youths. Pemba is also starting to get known for its dive sites, with vertiginous drop-offs, untouched coral and very abundant marine life. Chake Chake is located on a hill with a view on the bay where the tides determine when a dhow can enter the harbour. East of this place, on a peninsula, you can find the Ras Mkumbu that houses the oldest ruins of the island (14th century). Pemba is also famous for its rich fishing grounds. Between the island and the mainland there is the 20 miles wide Pemba channel, which is one of the most profitable fishing grounds for game fishing on the East African coast. [Thank you, Wiki!]

History She is the second daughter, born in Pemba. She was born March 17, 1986 and was very sickly as a child. There was nothing out of the ordinary with her family, a poor family who shared everything else with their family. But Khahlela had a knack for singing at a very young age. When she was seven years old, she sang at the market, gathering up change, whatever was thrown her direction, and she dutifully gave it all to her parents, who thanked her and gave her sweet praise. It was music to her ears, it was. However, it was still nothing to live off of. When her family, and village, were forced to evacuate from their little home next to the river, due to flooding, her youngest sister was lost in it's waters. It wasn't a week later when her mother was lost, due to an illness that plagued her from the filthy river water she'd drank. Her older brother left for work, and her dad stayed with her as she continued to sing. She sang of her troubles, of her beliefs, of anything that came to mind. A natural born lyric writer. She learned English from the visitors who took the time to teach her, or the religious people sent there to help them out. Yes, she knew enough to sing one of her songs completely in English One day, when she was twelve and singing in the market, a small director of really no importance thought she'd be the perfect little girl to play a small part in a movie. Naturally, she brought him to talk with her father, and he agreed; desperate for money, they were. That began her small acting career. Sometimes she was cast to sing in those movies, and Africa seemed to love her voice and her look. Her agent told her of auditions being held in America, Walk of Fame, and they were still open for them. So, she booked the first flight she could, packed up all of her clothings and her small statues of gods, and said a teary goodbye to her family, promising to send enough money when she made it, so they could join her. However, she finds almost none of this tragic. What is tragic to Americans is completely normal to poor countries. All she knows is that her family could be a bit better off with her talents and her skills.

Diary: Quote: "Page One" I was nervous about the audition. They didn't tell us what they thought. I didn't know how I did, much to worried about remembering the words, pronouncing them right. My English isn't so good. But then they called me and told me I made it! I'm so happy and proud! I'll send my family the money as soon as I get it. I'll keep some for me, but most of it's going with them. They liked me! They said I could have been a model, but I'm a better singer, I think. I wonder who else I'll meet? There were other people who auditioned at the time. So I know there will be others. Quote: I killed a dog a few days ago. ...And another person and myself sent the owner to jail. Someone famous. An air head heiress who abused the poor dog. I bombed my first performance.. I missed the red carpet event because there was a funeral I had to go to back home. I don't know how I like American anymore... Quote: I ran into Oz Parker today. ....He's handsome and clever. ....Loves flirting, too. I think he has a thing for another girl, but that's ok. A small crush won't hurt, will it? He seems like a real easy-going guy... Quote: I signed up to do the Green Love Concert. Hope they pick me. Things have just been rushing by! I haven't had time to contact my family... Maybe I'll do this for them instead of for the fun of it. Quote: Dear Gods up there... That was one of the best performances I've done. I haven't done to many, but.... that one... It was fun. And I bet my family heard.
