And if you just joined that, you are watching hashtag social Friday where we bring you the weekend on a weekly. And what we do basically is host content creators from across all social media platforms, from TikTok, from Instagram, YouTubers, comedians, dancers. You name it. And from the beginning, how have been with the one and only, Mr. Godvibes himself. Palin Instagram r-a-j-y-z, rajizu d-d-j, ama infusion boys. Taipi utatupata. Nibutu. Nibutu. Okay. So we are also not alone in the studio. We have an amazing guest with us. The gorgeous, the lovely, the soft-spoken. Eish. Hei. That is too much. No, no, no. For you it's never too much. Please introduce to us. So my name is Lucy Smiles. Ya, my real name is Lucy Ndano. Hei, kusasa, Smiles di li kuja venye... It's a translation of my name. Danu means laughter, means happiness. It's all about smiles. Danu means laughter in what? Inkamba. Ah, ya, ya. Misku enaju wa yo. Una nebisha hei wele. Relax. Somebody's inkamba. It's a common name. Okay, sasa yangu, I never know actually where it came from. Minkama nilizali yangu, alafu after a while, suji buddham gali fanya ni na kakli na fani kaitu akita. Ha ha ha ha. Asap aniwa. So for you. Watu kumistek na kwa mtoto? Wait. Sometimes, especially on calls, we're like, oh, nangaka mtoto? Na naza kuku, au kwa mbi hangi a buju buju, na. Um, where did you study? I studied at Machakus. Ya, and then that is the high school. Primarily, Nairobi. Nairobi. Yes. Ha ha. And currently you're doing a beauty therapy? Not really. I quit at my job. So I'm into content creation full time. Um, that is on all platforms. That is TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. And how is that working for you now? It's really challenging, but it's worth it. It's really good. I'm learning a lot. Ya. Um, I saw some of your videos, especially, actually followed your journey on TikTok when you started posting. So it's called, Hey. Wadawa, seneli scroll. I scrolled. I scrolled. I took a break. I drank a cup of water. Alafom ni ka ruditena. How many liters? I think it was around, Okay. Ni kerimizemi 10 liters ni konafuna danganyana. It was around one liter. Ni ka rudi, ni ka faniaki dole exercise. Ni ka rudi. You have so much content. You want one episode of content, Zot? Well, I tend to create. Okay, um, on TikTok, if you want like to go out there and, um, you're because you don't know which video will go viral, especially if like as a starter, you need like to do a lot of videos to test waters. Yeah. So for me, I was doing different kind of content to see which one pushes. If it does, I'll try another one and then sometimes it fails. So you just try everything. You just, the more you push your videos. Yeah. The more you like create different content is what like you find yourself. Una, hey. Ono miyango kiyanguka venyu nanguka kwa kwa flow. Kiyangu chum. Sometimes, kama kuna, this one I did. I think DJ Afro. I did and then after I was like, oh, some pain, but it's not like too much. I'm normally careful. So like even if you're creating content, you have to be careful also. Mi mi, hey, lemi tell you one thing. I tried creating content for TikTok the first time. So I was doing reaction in videos na after a while ni kwa na. Wah, no, this is not for me. Lemi look for, lemi look for something that at least I can do. Then I started doing reels. When you began doing TikToks, did you change your content with time ika badili ka ukatafutaki ni kwa komfata gona? Yes. Because at first, li kwa na fanya, venyu watu na fanya and then it's not going through. And then like una pata, maybe this sound or you're not stable with the camera first of all. You don't know how to shoot. You don't know how to like edit the videos and all that. So those were a little bit of challenges I was facing. But say some, una shoot video, maybe in a after shot post, alafu maybe you don't know what to write on your captions and all that. So those were the few mistakes I used to do. I saw your like your most viewed videos. Wait, first of all, did you mention you are a very good dancer? Did she mention she's a very good dancer? I saw her dance and I was like okay, so. How would you now categorize your content because you dance and then I saw you also do mimics and very crazy and funny reactions. Which I actually loved. I loved them. Kingia at social media handle on a TikTok handle, which is? Lucy Smath Zero. Lucy Smath. You will see her crazy reactions. How would you categorize your type of content? So for me, I mean to fashion. I mean to humor and dancing. I love dancing. So I try to connect all of that into a content. So in my content I feature a little bit of transitions that is in fashion. Sometimes I do crazy acts in videos and all that. So I try to act it out. When you act it out, it's funny. Like people are funny out there but they don't know. Like music is crazy but you just act it out and it's funny. Hey, Tebu defined crazy. She had me at crazy. So you find like somebody singing a certain song and then you just act it out. So that act is funny. In that area kufanya yo. And I also saw that you belly dance. Kwa so ukonam kupa? Nikonazo mingi. Uko shu wa? Zote. Even unaji kunjanga? Ya, I love dancing. Actually my first ever like I wanted to be a belly dancer. Even kwa am tori. In kwa sika na tukwa dancer of which in tukwa na tukwa belly dancer. Skwa juzo tukwa zingineza dance. Nikonja belly dance because of Shakira. Shakira was like oh I want to be like Shakira. So ya. I can now see where the influence came from. So if you are doing TikTok full time how do you make money out of it? Not just TikTok, I think it's social media in general. So I do promotions, marketing. So people come with music. I market for them. That's how I get my income. Though TikTok hasn't like haven't monetized my account. So though I hand through marketing and promotions. There's a way that one can monetize their TikTok account. Ya. For those who don't know maybe how do you monetize your TikTok account? So I miss Jeffy Kapo to kifikan tako ambiya. Ya kama exkwa. Hey. Ya okay. Of course there's some other countries which you find like their accounts are monetized. And then also on TikTok if you go on your statins and all that this monetization and all that. And then it normally tells you if you're able to monetize or not. Aha. Personally, let us see monetization. Me najiwa tu nisha yambiwa kuja nikulipu tenkeze video. I hope that's how it works also. Ya, something like that. Ya. Ya. Eee. Now will you also create TikTok in 2018? 2018. 2018. In 2018. Ah. 2019. Oh no. Guess who knows more now? 2019. Aha. I love you. Though I wasn't consistent. I took on. Hei hei. Ni yo too. Mm mm mm. I wasn't consistent. So I was like in and of and then I was like I was serious around 2020. 2020 around September there is when like I started now to focus. I did the video and then it went viral. Okay. Not viral. Like on those times it was viral for me because I think it got like 4,000 likes or like awww. 4,000. 4,000. 4,000. Hei. Mi ki pata 4,000 a lala naziad. So like okay this is really good. I can really invest my time on that. And then I started. And did the lockdown, the whole corona thing COVID-19. Did it in any way help you gain more viewers or followers? I think even that doesn't help. It's all about your creation. People are triggered on what you create. Like if it's something people want to laugh. People want to like to be attracted to something. So there's a video man niliyona. I think it was a Christmas. It was during Christmas. Nolukuna sumbuwa familie. Baduna sumbuwa. Actually did you hear them agambo kwa kambia? I asked to be on my tiktok. What can I say? You are always you are always this I wouldn't say crazy is not a good word to put it. This humorous. Well, I like having fun. Not really. Actually I was so very quiet. Extremely quiet. That's the other thing actually I forgot even to mention. Her voice, if you see her on social media she's so bold. Bold. I'm also bold. In person. Excuse me. So for me I have like some few personalities. I have these quiet very humble, quiet and then I have this wild version of me. So I tend to like when I'm alone I like being wild. So I tend to like so I was like, okay, what can I do with this? Okay, that's totally opposite. I thought when people are alone they are more quiet, relaxed. Okay, on our two. Okay, for me I like enjoying myself and then when I'm alone I do what makes me happy, crazy. So in that I was like, okay, maybe I can share it out there and then I was like, okay, palicking it. So that's Okay, you are in the house and you are in VT. I'm that crazy when I'm alone. So what kind of material do you have in your work, prop? Content. So what kind of material? Tudu... Are you sure we're doing a two feet with a numba and you think we're already prepared for that idea We're going to do a video to test the content There's a lot Raji's You're thinking that we should do a video There's a lot.
