The sun beams over the Mother City as I make my way to the H&M showroom at the V&A Waterfront. The music sets the tone for a lively shoot. I spot Filah Lah Lah, effortlessly singing along to the lyrics and clearly at ease in front of the camera. She’s wearing a beige ensemble from H&M’s upcoming A/W Collection. I catch up with her between takes; her energy is warm and inviting, she cracks a smile. We get acquainted. But first, why Filah Lah Lah?

“My first name is Reabetswe and my second name is Fila. I was named after my late grandmother, who was my queen.” She lights up at the mention, so I ask what lessons she carries with her. “My grandmother definitely taught me kindness, warmth and being personable.”

Filah shares that she was born in Pretoria and moved around a lot, which taught her to adapt to different environments, but admits she felt like as she navigated life, she’d been hiding in the shadows of uncertainty. It wasn’t until 2015 that she made a conscious decision to show up authentically.

“It took me a while to figure out who I wanted to be; navigating life at the University of Limpopo allowed me to figure it out.”
