 Laki niw sumboa shiti. Tite shiti good morning. What is usually the problem? Mono kuhibua ki. Hey, it is what it is. It's okay. It's alright. Kuna shengengine apuara says jaripu wala. I think we need to go back to school. Shulezifungu liwe January kwanza first. Jwatu ruki muwaka vizuri. Tuna ruka 8.59. So let's just go to school January first. A lafoga fom tufunze Shengbhi nakuja. Tata matu p Fresh LLC your school has arrived at akimbala. Niki napesi wa Most Wiln royalty posfumoring pounds j tablespoons niymengi. And I told you, in the beninging, I think really all I want for Christmas is you. Would you allow me to have you for Christmas? Is it okay? Is it okay? Na form ni ganyi pa iziwe. And we also have a question on our social media platforms and we're trying to figure out unaspend kresi aje. Nikurarua ma ni kapo light. Has anything changed because of COVID-19? Ama sayu ko cha po yasita. Just let us know. Hashtag is one in the morning. We have a very phenomenal woman with me, but I want to call a lady because woman sounds a bit heavy. Is it okay if I call a lady as I will call her lady? I've decided. A very, very phenomenal lady with me on a set. Let's get to know her first with her name. Karibu sana maami. Asante. Khafain, thank you. Thank you. What's your name? My name is Faith Kitome. Tell us about your faith. First of all, how can we get you on social media and not what to say? Okay. On social media, it's Faith Kitome. Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. YouTube is also Faith Kitome. What are you doing with our YouTube channel? Hi guys, welcome to my YouTube channel. Anywhere you go. Not really. I don't have tutorials, but I sing. I'm a worship minister. Yes, so I have songs on YouTube. What's the difference? Well, I think artists are mostly for fun, just because of the gift. But my man is more of a calling. So if you come out and say to me, I'll let you do it, I'm a secular. I want to be fulfilling my purpose. Okay. I will be very honest with you guys. In my head, I have prepared for this and I wanted music to be last. So I wanted her entrepreneurship skills to be first. But now that we are here, what do you think about Willy Paul? I think his music is good. He is talented. You don't feel some type of way because he crossed over. Because his new video Anatwanya Shavit was in Giniapo. Guys, have you seen the video? Hadja li piya promo. But your video, I don't... How do you feel about that? Would you blame him? I don't know. Not really. Apana. Apana actually says him to me anywhere. Because him he has a relationship with God. It's a personal decision. What you really want to do with your gift. So you never know what will happen to you. Thank you. So who am I to judge? I like you already. So now we are going to go back to her entrepreneurship skills. Thanks. Tell us about what you do as an entrepreneur. Also I'm into grooming services. Mostly... Nails. Ya. Kamera personalza kwa kuchazake kwa. Guys, let me just be very honest with you. Look at me. Look, I stay like this all the time. All the time. Snare yo time. Yasdui ho kuchasdu. Nuti kapa. Jee. A-a. Me deep in water. Oh, you just have your own boss. You just do what you do. Naji osha monere. I can't keep up with nails. I really can't. And I'm not even sorry. I can't keep up with nails. I can't keep up with nails. I can't keep up with nails. I can't keep up with nails. Kamera personalza kwa. I really do love nails. It's my Christmas. Hardness look like Christmas day. Ah, funnifo. Why are you focusing on me? Nani, unucho ma. I'm getting excited. Alas, serizu wa ririzu. Oh, yes. Did you do this yourself? Yes, I did it from my pala. Wow. You have a whole establishment. Yeah, yeah. Okay, tell us about that. Yeah, so we're doing nails. I have two palas in town. Two? Yes. Shora, kovit ninti na jaku afet? Well, God is faithful, mami. God has been faithful. God has been faithful. All signia jaku imba kusati ani. Korani, uwo. Continue. Yeah, so one is at Alasara Square. Along Moe Avenue. It's all 16. Then another one is at Contrast House. Still along Moe Avenue. Next to Nairobi Sports House. Okay. And those are prime areas. Thank God. Why? Yes, so Contrast House 6th floor. Room 6B. How did you start? Why grooming? Why did you pick this particular venture? I feel like I'm more into empowerment. And you really have to feel good about yourself. So as to be productive. And the fact that you should not be on board, who doesn't mean, work on zantanzana, we won't take another. So it's just more about making a girl feel good. Well, even men, we do pedikyo services for men. So it's just about you looking the parts and bringing positive contribution to the society. What do you think is the direct relation between feeling good and being productive? Well, I think it's in the mind. And for me personally, I don't really feel focused if I don't look the parts. That's when I'm able to put all my energy into what I'm doing. If it's music, if it's business. I'm not distracted by things like nini numefa ni kia makucha nini ninyuele inaka such things. So I feel like most of the ladies are suffering from low self esteem. And that way they are not able to bring out their best event career wise. So the moment you just start working on yourself, first it's inside of you. You work on yourself maybe, mentally, spiritually. And then now it comes, now it reflects outside. This is a question that is not so serious, but I've had the accusation going around. Is it normal that waschana they feel that they need to depend on maybe a significant other or something so that they look good. Is it true for some people but most of us Nadi's are kind of independent and most are working. So they are able to take care of themselves and their grooming needs. But you see, most men also have taken it up to themselves to empower your woman, to look good. Yes, so that when you okay, angale, angale, kukingine, na ujawata, grasapa, you know. Actually, guys, kuna mimflani na seyema. Okay, enda wata. Marry yourself a good-looking wife and send a kushama to umbe. So how are you? How are you? How are you? How are you? How are you? How are you? How are you? How are you? How are you? How are you? How are you? How are you? How are you? How are you? How are you? How are you? How are you? How are you? See your life? See your life? Hashtag is ʻUwpai in the morning. I personally believe you're right. Mimi, I like to look good. Yes. Not because of- You look good. Thank you. You look better. Yeah. You look better.ивi nukua mahii wajiea Natuayo Wans nyimeshaj teggneza Kwenia wajia wajiea Wa nakaikata iwebe Was ni wajiea Wajiea Wajiea Mwenia wajiea Cwenia wajiea Kwenia wajiea Wajiea Wajiea But sometimes, I want to say that agenda, but piawa stona piawa kwa na mashdazao So someone might assume that you're looking good for someone else. How does that play in now with empowerment? Wow, that's quite deep. But first, you're not doing it for someone. There's so many times you make your hair and your significant other and recognize you've made your hair. And you've made so much effort to just but I feel like just do it for yourself, do it for yourself not for any other person unless now it's an instruction you've gotten maybe from him. I don't know, there are such men, right? I don't know, I hope not. Maybe I'll tell you later. Thanks, I'm okay when I have. But basically just do it for yourself. It's one life. What about girls who think now because you look good suddenly it's a competition. Let them deal with themselves first because I mean, who are you competing with? You just want to look good for the world, for yourself. And you're minding your own business. There's someone, suddenly they want to be like faith and kwa zakona kusoma vini unnava vini unnafa I think that person needs just to overcome themselves. That's deep. We have a couple of pictures set up for you to enjoy. Hashtag is one in the morning. And don't forget we have faith in a studio. She's walking us through her entrepreneurship. She is specializing in grume and all things fabulous. You should have her in your kona. That's what I meant. She's a songbird. Oh my gosh. So maybe as they display those pictures we can continue having conversation. And do not forget you can always always reach out to her. She has not one, two stalls up here in this here Nairobi of ours. She's talented guys. But she's a good girl. She's a good girl. And she wants to wash hands. She has a brush. She has a brush. So are these clip-ons or these are people's nails? In gel? The first one was hand nails plus gel. There's something called ovale. Ovale makes your nails hard so they don't break every now and then when you're washing. And these are tips. Tips you just fix them and then you apply gel. I should know these things guys. But I do not. These are natural nails with ovale. They are strong. They can't break every now and then. I have a question. This is pedikia for men. This is pedikia for men. Actually this is a burale. What is pedikia for men? What is pedikia for men? What is pedikia for men? Guys gotta take care of themselves too. We together. It's true. Bro, how do you know? Wait, what is pedikia? What is pedikia? What is pedikia? So the name of the business is upeo nine world. Upeo. I have a question. Do they come in self conscious? Are they already up to speed and they are confident? They are confident. They know they have dead skin. And then it's veji relaxing. Yeah. Actually when you have a machine, pedikia you feel so relaxed. I agree. Any metu kwa kwa mwa sadiwa kichwa so someone has mufojoming. That's why you are spending so much time at kinyo. To makuwana. So if I may is this affordable to everybody? No. It's actually very affordable. Pedikia for men like this is just $800. Yes. So you get scrubbed then you are massaged and yeah. Bro, instead of cutic poles you just nga reshwa. And I like the ambience you have just with you. So I imagine Maluko is also that cool, calming and open environment. It is mwimu that spend up for like 3 hours you might as well be feeling good about it. I want you to walk me through how you became an artist when you became an artist. Do these two things clash be at work? Tell me how this works. I think it's just about striking the balance. I've been able to balance between my music and my job because as I told you my goal is not to make money through music. Mine is to minister and to preach hope to that person. That one person who is feeling low and is in that place you know. So that's why I have to also work because you know, bills. Balance is true. Ask why? I don't know what I'm going to do and why? Why are you doing this? But it's okay. So I've been able to balance because I have I don't have to be there for them to work. I don't have a few assistants who are running their two shops. Out of curiosity would you I want to say let your family run your business for you because there's a fine line between can you nesambia mtu when you see wakwenu na umtu wakwenu depending on the relationship you have with your family if you guys I don't mind working with my bro something I don't mind they are busy they are doing their things but I don't mind even taking a cousin and putting them here to work with me. I've heard a lot of people who people come from people really fear it because you can't there's that respect that you don't get from your old home so sometimes they'll bring it to the shop or to your business and it's hard for you to lead them that's why it becomes quite difficult. Diplomatic? What's my thoughts? When did you receive or when did you feel like you were being called to start singing? I come first I come from a priesthood family my parents are pastors but you are a pastor? I turn out to be a suri God abents idea What's your opinion? I grew up in church when the pastors when they work because it's an ambition you have to be with your family fellowships so you grew up with it and they also sing so I think it's nearly to akwao so since I was like 8 years as I was singing even with the choir so that way through primary high school I've just been singing even in campus I was in KU I joined the KU choir so I used to sing even for the president to go for music festivals it's been fun, it's been a journey so then after campus I think I stayed for like I knew I wanted to record I wanted to really share what I have with the world so in 2018 that's when I went to record my first but it really needs a lot of pushing I think I would have stayed forever without going to the studio I found a family it's called Life Bull and our pastors really push you to be at your best so that's when I met our bishop and he was really supportive and I went to the studio and I recorded my first that usifadaike it's been nominated as the best worship of the year for famous hours to get to how you can vote for her and trust, I've already voted are we together? I am not preaching konyak and drinking whiskey no, I will drink the konyak are we together we'll get that shortly but I want to understand have you ever felt pressure because of your background because of how you grew up na siyata na jaribu na siyata na jaribu you never got to go to church kwa sezon I've done this thing for so long What kept you going? well I think I was at the side and I was like I love to go a kuhbabi kwa kwenzini? I found my way back to church I think through music actually music has brought me back to God I would say that kwa sababu I stopped going to church for a while and I was just like this thing bana god this is not what you promised so and I stopped yeah so so um so my kwa master wakiyu that time he used to lead the kwa fosike so he would poach the the best singer so ndo wakata idei kuhimba uko that's how I found myself back and because the boot will go to the lipo mohemo i'm not saying anything mohemo that's how I came back so when I came back I was like okay actually this is my thing I was just running away from it yeah so from there I just got got um there you know the drive and I got back and god really gave me grace um okay and and just I'm not trying to question your faith but I do have an experience and I was telling the guest I was interviewing yesterday in the evening that elifika points the end of this year come the end of this year on September yes for a few months I think even three months I was down I was I was tired this year because you know if if I have a girl I have things I want to do I have I have vision yes but nili kwa at that point naskia I'm so stuck at this one position soongi imbele soongata afadal ni soongi ni ma spaki kwa soongi ni ma but afadal li kwa na movement like I can't be here forever and and it just made me feel so bad because I felt like nili kwa in my head a few years ago Nikiji imagine in the future I didn't think I would be here I really did I really did not there are things that I did not imagine would happen I did not think I would be on TV yes yes so I'm very grateful for that but there are also things that I thought I would have achieved by now and I haven't so how how do you move on from that because it's a dangerous place to be when you're feeling burnt out when you're feeling fatigued when you just don't know what to do how do you get out of that I think that's for me that's what God comes in and and and I really thank God that I got to find a mentor a mentor like someone who who knows what is really happening to me and when I'm at that place I've been there too but they they they don't give up on you and they keep encouraging you know what this is the goal and you have to keep at it you have to focus it doesn't matter what is happening or not because it doesn't always work your way and sometimes you just feel stuck so if you have that person or even a circle of people who can push you forward sometimes you just need that to push and and and you overcome the season and you get back see you're here I don't know what you did you did it so at that point many people even they lose it yeah some sink into depression and there's a very fine line now when you start getting fatigued and feeling like this feeling you've not achieved this feeling that you're not maybe good enough I don't know how you're feeling but there's a very fine line between that depression and suicide yeah by the way yeah you can easily what is this all about I don't yeah it's you I'm talking about we need you around okay don't take your life don't do it don't do it yes we do don't we need way kuna temi ya kwa nda sawa we have all been born we are all going to die but don't do it yeah so what are we together yeah don't take your life you're precious you're important yeah when you sing what are you telling people is it all about because there's some people also hapendi kusukiya stories are religion I don't know maybe the church did or the whatever they knew kuna I don't know maybe stated something to them and they're feeling all types of betrayed so I don't take your story or whatever how are you communicating to all of us people who believe people who have never heard people who have been hurt because they have believed how are you talking to all of us wow you think the people that don't even believe that God is I think it's my message is hope really whether you are a believer or not there is reason for you to face tomorrow whether you are in church or not like just hanging there hang in there don't don't because I've lost people to depression lost people too I'm sorry yeah and so my message is just no matter how bad it is you know there's nothing new under the sun there's a solution there's always a solution yeah so for me that's the message even without quoting verses or not that's just it because it's true it's a fact keshwita fika too no matter how bad you're feeling now even if you don't have a job or you don't have food or or maybe your marriage is is is not working you know and such things because life is not easy basically and we can attest to it sinua kenya to meona like yeah yeah my biggest okay one of my biggest flexes this year is being able to say never feel kitu alafuni kani jambe okay well just because you're feeling it does not mean it's true yeah yeah feelings and not facts yeah you you can it can be the total opposite of what you're feeling yeah and and later on I realized I was just over thinking I can see a very very good for a day on here our TV tell us about the song and why are you looking so friend I swear you look different so very different please different does not be bad because you look good you know I look different every day most of the day I'm sure it needs a cupid amani hairstyle this is a cover song I've done for the other time I think me and you really relate this year I think around two lajun I was at that kaplis and and I feel like this is just the end man I I don't think I can do this anymore but there's this song that I used to listen to it's in kamba and I would cry to this song because it says I have a reason to praise you like whether I have a reason or not I will praise you God because what you have done for me no one else could where you've brought me from from the from the depression from everything so it's just like um an overcoming song so when I was at that point I used to listen to it a lot so and I felt like okay let me just go do my version of how I feel it yeah so I went to the studio and did a cover for it yeah so it's a very nice encouraging song that you know what whether I'm okay or not I will God you're still on the throne and I will still praise you I agree we relate kuna so it was desert song like health song I think exactly the same thing you see yes yeah you still listen to it and guys I don't know if you know but what's done is not gonna play with the kulea it's true we prepare ourselves four five tracks mufulu is not gonna repeat amagu it's true hey you know I can repeat mood and but it's it's relieving right I think right after that I think you you you feel some type of peace and yeah and again one of my other flexes is facing myself unless you're seeing something okay there's this thing called the johari's window johari's window is psychological but it's it generally means that there's something about me that I don't know about myself but that you can see yeah so unless you present that to me there's very little you can tell me about myself in yosu juwi I spent time with time I invest nani are we together and this whole it's become a thing just very recently I bought mental health and talking and all these healing processes but I don't think it should just be a wave it's square yeah I think I've got two lifestyles let people talk about it and just overcome it do you ever find yourself ministering while working like yes I do tell me about that it happens a lot not even in thinking sometimes just when people they open up to you and you're talking and they just tell you what they're going through sometimes I even pray with my clients I know it happens I don't you don't even plan it and and that's how they stick to you baby it's loyalty yeah so yeah but me as long as you feel better after an encounter that's all for me don't you feel tired because even a psychologist needs a psychologist we all need we can take you do yeah so you have a mentor tell me about your mentor well my mentor is my bishop he's called William Dendo don't know that you've heard about him but honestly have not you should so he's a he's a bishop and he's into you know psycho he he guides you through your mental issues your emotional side and even in business hmm yeah so uh I am so blessed because he has been there think for like now four years yes and at least I have a hand to hold on and even sometimes when I don't even believe in myself he will put it in me say you you are more than what you think you are and that just uh um works for me yes and and he's the type that he does not care because that's so at the end and at Alinifonza feelings are not facts so even if you feel like crying right now you feel like I'm doing this I'm punishing you later on you'll come to realize actually nimesa idika don't even question and he's mentored so many of us so many of us and we're really grateful me I would say uh I wouldn't even be here he pushed me even to open the second parla I didn't know I have it in me that I can manage two or three I am I can do music and still do this and I'm okay hmm there's a lot of misconception when it comes to starting a business Kwanzaa jana kwa news Ndiyona they have some new technology involving coffee beans and Pikipiki Pikipiki sure na fwa okfafafa ya nini and it's some type of innovation that is going to revolutionize the farmingın aki oh my gosh it was students from dead and Hepati University and I thought that was fantastic but how do you know you're we need a million dollars We had you in the womb alone, bank do you need support for all your family and friends How did you start And now be able to expand I started after graduating I think I did a few internships I did fashion design and marketing That's why you look so good So when you do such a course Wango you just couldn't get a good employment kus in writing woャt yau nne still looking for a job Tata wa slipped upie ria and started a business in Kahawandan K Instead of job in Kiyu I started selling shoes and pleеньa I think I had like 50k something, I didn't really start big I believe even now that we have online, you can even start with one item You go get it from the wholesaler, you sell it, you come back for more, you advertise it So for me it's step by step So for me it's step by step, like you just climb the ladder step by step And for me it has worked, so from now shoes I got a stall in town So nika realize shoes are not doing that well, so I changed it to nails I mean straight nearly jifonza, I went to school for it So I started nailing it professionally So I started just a small stall, it's just a small one The one that's Lazarus now So I started nails there, like a year ago I was into shoes the whole thing to 3 years So I changed it now to nails Nails, eyebrows, makeup, such things And it has done so well, even through covid We closed for like 3 months, Nandochka Rudi, thinking she would lie And we picked it up from there and just working hard Getting clients, advertising, marketing So that's how I got this other space now At contrast it's bigger and better It's bigger and better So now we are here and I think I just want to do nails So fulfilling I like how you love your job, it's important And maybe to Kimalizia, I understand that technology is a very powerful tool We can say it's bad, we can say it's good But I just think it's a tool How you use it So how did you come back from post covid Rather for your business How did you market, what got you out there the most Nizi instagram, facebook, word of mouth Or your clients are just loyal like that Mostly it's a word of mouth You see when you do a good job Your clients become your advocates to other people So that's how I've been able to get most of my clients But still a palachini is a survival for the fittest You can call people You can ask your clients for nails Mrangapi Because you know me to say they are the most My girls work hard They are the world-chromed My collashes come away with me But they are the best So when you get good service Now you go call others Now your friends So that's how you keep growing You're an inspiration You're welcome Mystery I don't know I have a five bob guys I have a fifty I have a dozen of five bob Before we conclude I would feel some type of way If you didn't sing
