Letoya, who was brought up in a humble background, has talked about his sexuality. She says she was born a man but she feels she's a woman.

As a child I never grew up with so much. While growing up, I never had much either. I have never in my life been a millionaire neither have I spent millions of money to change to become a woman.

It is so unfortunate that I was NEVER BORN A WOMAN. I was born A MAN. ( HE, HIM, HIS, SIR). I just feel like one and for that reason, I do believe I am a woman.

Letoya, a runway model trainer, who has worked with some of the top models and fashion houses, said life isn't easy.

The bubbly Letoya has confessed that at times she goes without food, telling people not to mistake his lifestyle for riches.

I am not here to confuse people or make them believe that I have so much money. That is not true my people. I am broke. I am just surviving. Don't mistake my lifestyle with riches. It is not true. Sometimes I honestly go without food in this Nairobi.

Adding that at times, her clients fail to pay after working for them.

I know most of you see me around top celebrities, flying and dining and running around those beautiful hotels and amazing kitchens. Some celebrities sometimes don't pay you the money after you have worked for them. It is just because I keep quiet. PEACE is better than war.

For those hotels, it is work that takes me there. I am a millennial and so I will take beautiful pictures and videos to make my Instagram look good. It's just for memories of places I have been to because of my work.

Letoya Johnstone went ahead to advise the current generation to stop using shortcuts in life and toil hard.

I am not here to lie to the youths. I am here for pure honesty. If you are a person who receives things from celebrities for free, they will use it against you during a disagreement. I learned this the hard way.! I decided to never let someone else's riches, fame, status in life, wealth or standards interfere with my own life. I know who I am.

I must start by being honest with myself before I lie to the mass out here. I am extremely broke. I don't have money and my bank account is closed down. I am surviving from hand to mouth. Just like any other poor Kenyan In the village.

You see this picture here, that is how my house looks like. It is my home. It is what I show off on social media. This is what I am proud of. Things will change I know but before that, this is the current situation. It humbles me to tell my thousands of followers who I truly am.

Let us all keep working hard young generation. It is through hard work that we move out from conditions that I am in right now.
