Mamello Mokoena is MOG's Celebrity Fashion and Beauty Writer, where she explores the intersection of pop culture and style. Her love for storytelling is rooted in her journalism background, shaped by her Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Honours in Journalism and Media Studies degree. When she’s not spotting the next big trends or reviewing the latest beauty products, Mamello is watching movies, listening to music (her favourites genres being rock, pop, indie and Beyonce), doom-scrolling like a pro, or curled up with a book. Mamello's passion for fashion traces back to her childhood, where she spent hours flipping through fashion magazines, tuning into style-centric TV shows, and drawing inspiration from iconic movies like Bratz: The Movie, The Devil Wears Prada, and the classic The Addams Family (1991). Her passion for fashion runs deep!
