Obara began modeling in 2019. She was inspired by a desire to gain a larger platform and be the voice of the many Kenyans who suffer from mental disorders.
This, she claims, is because many people have a negative perception of people who suffer from mental illnesses and, as a result, stigmatize them rather than find ways to help them cope. In a video, she explained that her interest in epilepsy began in primary school, when she had a friend and classmate who had epilepsy.
