As expected, the journey towards elevating her career as a model has presented it's challenges. For Mulenga, some of the hardships she has faced include; getting genuine endorsement deals, constantly keeping up appearances and even exploitation, which she spoke of with dismay.
"Lots of us models have experienced exploitation, it’s is very tiring, but all in all, it’s all worth it." ~Mulenga Mumba.
