All right So many people when they see on screen you're glowing you look like sunshine They don't understand what it takes to get to where you've gotten to how did you manage to get on TV? Well, still in school first. It's not too easy to do that. Well Actually, let me take your bit back. I had my daughter when I was in campus. I was just 20 How old is she now? She's six six six years Well, Jesus, what's any Ella? She's six years old So I had her when I was 20 so I had to take some time off of school Took about two triceps off went back and made 2014 no actually the beginning of 2014. That's when I went back to school She was about a year and from then, you know, I had to grow up fast. I had to grow up I was no longer just a kid. Yeah, you have to grow up real fast So I went back to school my grades improved Have a kid and be out here kidding around you cannot be a child and have a child So my grades went up and then a buddy of mine from from high school She just called me up like hey, Jane There's some auditions have there's some auditions that are happening at KBC. So you go check it out They got cool catch one a group. We all came here It was but we were here a week earlier. The dishes were the following week So we went back then came back the next week They were like 600 people auditioning for the same position. So we started 600 people We were 600 of us auditioning for that job. Okay, and it was only for three slots Imagine you just had to try Because we had tried the playing here and there we already aware that you know, you talk a winger You need a job. So before you and it's better to start early So we just came here with a buddy of mine. We tried our shot I managed to go through the first round. We were called again. We came 13 rounds 13 rounds until we're finally chosen. That was me 2014 So I've got my first job on the 18th of July, 2014. That's what we That's what it's still running but you're not part of it anymore not anymore Is club one still firm? Ah, club one is still a firm and we've been together for over four years. I just resigned last year in October You know, it gets to that point. You feel you have done all that you could and you need to move on You need to step back in order to move on. How do you know it's that time? Let me tell you something about this industry We are in a very superficial industry people see you and they judge you from what they see you But in order to stay grounded, you need to know who you are you need to understand how you feel What is your mental state? So if it gets to a point where you're doing it just because you have to do it You need to step back because it'll get a point. You'll start hating what you're doing And I think it cuts across so many industries, but with this industry you need to realize that all right So you always need to realize When you get to that point where you're doing it just because you have to do it Want to do it and mind you I loved my show like I it was only once a week for four years And I did it with my entire heart, but it got to that point where you know what Jane you need to Step back in order to move forward. All right. So you see you had to go to class But still come back come to work One day a week. How is it being a celebrity in school? Well, I finished in 2014 my campus studies I did my internship here. So I didn't spend much time in school because I graduated in 2015 I finished my study in 20 my studies in 2014. So I wasn't As much in school, but it was What are some of the some of the things that you you you faced that You actually say oh my I wouldn't have faced this thing if I was a man in this industry Well Everybody faces challenges, but you know being a woman in itself is already Something that people have an opinion about people always have an opinion about how you look how you talk how you walk having a child Especially, you know, given that I had a child when I was young who was always looking at you like, okay Why? Will you get a jikwa industry? You are too young to have gotten there by yourself You must have compromised here and there and you know, some of these things can break your listed quite a number Yes, it has actually happened. It happens. It has happened And how do you know people say this straight to your face or you feel the energy comes of this one Who actually say it straight to my face is one of the guests that I had He was like Sonia G sit 20 like this like this Niku Wow straight up Nimsani. Yes. I'm an EDJ. Nimsani People will actually have the audacity to say that straight up to your face just because of how you look and How you carry yourself? All right. Yeah, what should be in Your arsenal as a woman to fight things like this. What are some of the things you should have? You need to be very strong mentally for this industry You need to be very strong mentally because once you have yourself put together mentally Most of these physical things would shake you. It took me a while I didn't just wake up and like No Strength to be there there must be exercise, right? Yes. All right. So how do you exercise your brain to be strong or to be mentally strong? How what are some of the exercises you put your brain through those internal? Conversations you need to have those three are farming thoughts those three are farming Routines and things that you do to just remind you like yo, I am good enough I don't need to be a fan by somebody else out there. And it's you know for me. I really Focus heavily on my daughter. She gives me so much strength. I'm not just living for me I have a kid to think about always So when that comes to mind when somebody is out here trying to you know being negative and a little corruption Donald Trump all those things you have to have something that anchors you and reminds you who you are and what your value All right. Yeah. So when it comes to teachers, they have a union When it comes to doctors, they have a union. Do you feel like us as media personalities? We need a union as well There are but you know, that's something about this industry We are so fragmented you think that's in any Kenya in Uganda in Tanzania and we're all in the media industry Egos, but Zina began as Anna It's a big problem such that you know when you need something from another media house If you don't know somebody that will be a hustle We are not as united as we ought to be and yet we are the ones who are shipping the public opinion Guiding what you know what dogs but we are still biting our own tails So we can improve on that. We can improve on that. All right I Do a lot of entertainment work. I'm in the music industry in terms of creating content making music. Yeah management and all So one time I saw People dissing will Paul And I was like, okay And then a fellow musician shared the post of all the disses people had on will Paul Yeah, and then it hit me like all right. You're an artist and you're supporting this kind of behavior towards artists One day it's going to come To you. All right, when you see your fellow Queens in the industry recently, we are Jackie Marie Bay We have had the likes of even the one who got appointed to State house people had a lot of things to say about her people even took a picture of her wearing a certain shirt And the president wearing a certain shot and compared to what what are some of the things you do in such situations? Do you have an opinion about it or you just sit back and say ah? Wow people will be people, you know You don't have to always be public with your opinions if you can help that person on a very personal level You can reach out to them. Please do that But just as I told you if you're not strong mentally these things will break you because this industry is cruel Because of the fact that we're living in this social media era There's so many keyboard warriors who are ready to look at what you're doing wrong Before they look at what you're doing good people will be quick to focus on the negative as opposed to the good So you are supposed to as a person it really needs to start with you Personally, I'm not all about bashing people. I everyone has an opinion. You're entitled to your own opinion But if it Hams someone why should you do it? Especially on this social media platform and that's why I told you if you can help them without Putting in out there do so, but if you can reach out to them if you know them personally Yes, you can DM them you can DM them you don't even have to know them personally You squeeze it just slide in the DM. They'll get it. Just give them a message of encouragement Yes, but if you're also able to just highlight the situation and just try and bring the focus on the evil that is there Please do so especially we that are in the limelight. It starts with us hurt people hurt people All right, white paper channel on Twitter white paper for underscore channel on Instagram Right before on Facebook hashtag is one in the morning hashtag is strength of a woman and be sure to interact with us Please we have the beautiful miss right here.

What boy Facebook Twitter Instagram so simple. All right, so my Very able host joy had a conversation about self-esteem Yeah on on Monday, and she taught me something really important when you air out your personal Experience with some things as an influential person as a personality on TV. Yeah, you inspire people to actually fight it So is it something you've had to do with when it comes to people saying are you showing a bow? Oh, damn. I'm a fan. I mean, what do you want to take away me? So is it something you've had to deal with when it comes to self-esteem? We all have our moments, but when it comes to especially your craft it When you put in the work and the time that you feel you put in your all People's opinions should be shouldn't be able to sway you because what you put in is what will show So if you don't put in work, it won't show But if you put in work, it will show and people will respect you for that Wise words from a very decent woman All right, what do you tell those ladies that watch you on TV and say oh, she's perfect. I wish I was like oh Oh my goodness. No one is perfect, man. Ah, I'm not perfect. I'm just any other regular junior Yeah, why shouldn't I I'm not change your life. Oh, yeah, I mean Be grounded in the street as a cook when I you will come to pay the consequences much later in life So you need to find yourself ground yourself yourself and you'll be able to navigate a journey without, you know Experiencing the really bad bit of it. Yes. Can I scoby? Yeah For sure. Yeah, I don't know why she went by the way Now transitioning from entertainment to sitting with some of the best volutations in the country I've been conversations with them and now you have a new show called tech talk. I like to take on tech take on tech Take on tech. I like the Literation and that How was it transitioning? When I resigned from club one, I took like a month off just Re-gathering regrouping they were thinking my life and I came to India my IV and then I started looking around But the opportunity came calling it was time and I was taken up and It wasn't hard because from since the time I was a kid I was wanted to be a news anchor I've already had one goal in life One goal to be a news anchor, but that is yet to happen But I joined the industry through entertainment So along the journey I would practice here and there and when this came along it wasn't hard to adjust It's just about the preparation that goes into what you're doing before you go on air Yeah, yeah, it wasn't so hard, but it was something new it was a challenge, but I embraced it Social media handles are just a genuine boy across all social media platforms That is Facebook Twitter Instagram Shout-out to everyone who's tuning into the show, but they thank you for putting focus on you know the strength of women out there We are complaining that we are not given as much power But you know what hey they say the power the woman has the power to build or break a home in her tongue We have so much power, but we are yet to know What how much power we hold this hey it can do good and bad So for my young girls out there just because things happen when we were younger Doesn't mean that that should define your life. I had a kid when I was 20 and right now It's probably the best thing that redirected my life goes You know if I hadn't had her life would have been totally different. Maybe I wouldn't have been here But whatever happens in your life It is happening for a reason to prepare you for something that is going to help you in future She is the best thing that happened to me right now. She resented me She made me focus better and become a better person even for my young guys out there Don't let society put you down Because people will have their own opinion the society has rules that we don't know who wrote them by the way We just found them there and they are not as encouraging. Maybe in whatever you want to do, especially the creatives We are living in a society where creatives are not taken serious Yet it is a beautiful art that we need to embrace and before the society gets to a point where they're actually embracing that It'll take us time. So just stay strong stay true to your craft and at the end of the day it'll pay When and where can they catch you live on TV and YouTube?
