What you need to know:
Based on what most people see on Instagram, there is a stereotype that a young Kenyan woman cannot live a luxurious life through her own means but this is far from the truth.
Ø People keep asking me what I do for the world. Well, I am many things. I’m a Law graduate, although I haven’t started practicing yet. I am also a model and an artist liaison.
Ø I’m also a Vlogger. However, I haven’t been consistent. I have been on and off YouTube for some time. I had to sit back and think about the content I wanted to put out there.

Ø If someone judges me by my Instagram feeds, I won’t mind. What you see is what you get.
Ø People question who pays my bills judging from what they see on my Instagram. I do it by myself. You don’t have to be filthy rich to enjoy life. Planning and saving will enable you.

Ø Someone asked if Instagram is a healthy space to be in, or if it's just a platform where people sell pressure. My thinking is, it all boils down to how you use it. Everything has its merits and demerits; we just incline to what feeds us.
Ø I don’t subscribe to one-night-stand situations. I have never ‘chips-fungad’ anyone or chips-‘fungwad haha’. However, I’m not one to dictate what’s up and what’s not.
Ø It’s unfortunate that our society is always shy to talk about sex. We rarely are vocal about the things that actually matter.
Ø When I watched Tinder Swindler, it reminded me of such a scenario that happened to me. Someone used to send me videos of lounges in Dubai, with the intention to lure me. I’m lucky I’m a slow girl. So he gave up on his own, after depriving him of my attention.
Ø In December 2021 I posted on my feed, ‘And I have been in a healthy relationship lately,’ someone recently asked for an update. Well one word, NAIROBI (the song).
Ø Best bargain I ever got was when I bought curtains for a quarter of the initial price. You should know people haha!
Ø Of the few destinations I have been to, Malindi was one for the book. It was not necessarily romantically but it made an impact on me having stayed there for almost three months.
