MIMI Muse: Vanessa Mdee

Written By: MIM!—She's Vanessa Mdee, better known as Vee or Lil Miss Dynamite to MTV Base viewers. At 19, Vanessa, then a college student at The Catholic University Of Eastern Africa became Tanzania’s first ever MTV VJ; her first gig: co-hosting The Coca Cola Chart Express. She describes herself as, "an African girl who grew up in New York and Paris, and now works all over the continent for MTV as a VJ; this has made me familiar with many different cultures from all over Africa and the world." But Vanessa is also a stylista, who expresses her style from everything from her hair (she’s had just as many styles as Rihanna) to shoes (which she has confessed to being addicted to). Keep up with Vee, by following her on Twitter @VanessaMdee.
