 Thank you, I'm tired How are you feeling being Nairo? Amazing, it's good to be home First maybe I like to just know more Bianca the Iron Lady, who released the Iron Lady? It's a name I was blessed with my late grandfather and I've lived to embrace it Bianca the Iron Lady is the CEO of Biomax Events and entertainment She's a hotel marketing and PR consultant So you also have the Biomax Foundation which I'm the founder Yes and the newly appointed Nollywood Kenyan Ambassador You have a Kenyan ambassador Yes, that's why I'm having the two flags Kenyan and Nigeria As the newly appointed Kenyan Nollywood Ambassador Maybe what are your roles? What are you looking up to? What is this all about? I'm looking forward to embracing the two countries like that unity combining the two countries into a more massive teamwork in terms of feeling educated sessions youth support systems So we're not just looking into feeling alone Africa has a lot that we need to embrace and when it comes to Kenyan and Nigeria in terms of feeling in terms of music they have always been together You can see we have different collabo in terms of the Afro music in terms of our brother country which is Nigeria but now we are looking into expanding it more in terms of content creation in terms of film So being that have been given this position I would tell it's going to be an easy it's not an easy office but I'm going to give it the hard work it deserves to ensure that we take film to the next level Not just for Kenya and Nigeria but we want to expand it to the whole of Africa and maybe you forgot to mention I've been checking that while I was doing my research I noticed that you were also an actress and you recently witnessed what is called the first audition of the Bond talent in Abuja Tell us more about that The Bond talent edition was held at the Abuja Abuja film village Basically it was the first edition and we are looking forward to having more auditions not just in Nigeria but also in Kenya Yes, I was honored to have been selected by the Actors Guild of Nigeria to witness it and I saw the youth come out in numbers they were not shaken they were actively involved and I was so proud being given that chance most of them are asking producers don't come for auditions nobody is looking out for them and nobody can even tell where the offices are but now we brought it to them we brought it in a neutral place where each and every Nigerian citizen could access and we started the first edition in Abuja and we are having plans to expand it into Kenya and more and with your extensive experience in the industry what qualities do you look for when selecting talents for your production collaborations Well, necessarily I want to believe a talent is within it's not a must that you have gone to school I saw contestants over there who are going to auditions some of them have not studied arts they have not studied film but they are the ones who are giving us most of the qualities we are looking at the boldness in film you have to be natural when you are giving a character it has to come out of you naturally so we are not just going to be looking at people who have studied film and arts but we are going to embrace it from the scratch and maybe as an ambassador what do you believe are the unique strengths and characteristics of the Kenyan film industry and how can it contribute to the global cinema landscape the uniqueness of film this is something I am going to be able to tell my fellow artist out here the uniqueness of film is embracing each other supporting each other this is something I have seen in Nollywood if they see someone who has potential however small you are they will bring you to the light they don't take it personal but they honour it to themselves that this is our own this is our blood if we lift this person we lift Nigeria and that is what I want to happen to Kenya as well let us not look like we are trying to be better than the other let us be better for all of us let us create a unity version a supportive system version that helps in terms of arts film and music and that embracement the uniqueness is the teamwork and the embracement of each other when you embrace each other and there is teamwork hard work and dedication then I believe very soon we are going to be having not just the Wakanda we saw but a better Wakanda for Africa yes and you mentioned also I see you and the founder of the events company being that you own an event company this requires maybe a lot of planning and execution can you share some insight into your approach to organising a successful event well to organising a successful event I will still talk about the same it portrays hard work determination patience patience that is what I am going to put some effort on like you need to be patient when it comes to event planning is not every day you will win most of the events will get huge losses but at the end of the day you still get to achieve what you want in one way or the other so when it comes to events embrace it as your own don't make it look like a job especially when it comes to majorly BMX events most of our events in supporting the youth the less privileged and also people from the prisons yeah congratulations thank you the one question is how are you planning to work with the ministry of tourism to make you achieve what you want to achieve the second question is given a chance to have a sit down with the CES what is that one thing key area you want to focus more on the key area I want to focus more on I'll start with the last question this one I'll be addressing it to the CES Honoreboa Babuna Mwamba it's a collaboration stroke partnership between the two countries let us create a festival among the two countries let's embrace the different talents that the two countries have and I'll still repeat we once had our kanda from Africa but I believe when we become a team the potential that the two countries have we can be able to bring a greater Wakanda let it look let it not look like we specify ourselves let us also be able to get what other countries have when it comes to film when it comes to music and such partnership and collaboration will bring Africa to a next level another question he has been able to ask is what I'm planning with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs I want it to be an easy movement for each and every citizen they should work in partnership with Nigerian Foreign Affairs Department and also the Kenyan Department the two of them to come into a partnership level whereby they'll be able to discuss matters in terms of visa for people who would like to come from Nigeria and come and shoot and feature in film productions in Kenya as well as Kenyans who would like to travel and feature in film productions in Nigeria it is not an easy task you all know it's a process when it comes to visa but if you make it easy of course Nigeria is one of the easy visa destinations that we have in our passports but I also want them to make it easier for the citizens to get their passports as soon as possible these opportunities come once in a while and defined by the time somebody is applying for the passport it takes them so long so I think they should consider the contestants or the participants who would like to travel from this country to the other or from Nigeria to Kenya so that they can be able to have a teamwork with different production companies different zones different zones in arts that one includes music so this one goes to Honorebo Alfred tour and I believe so far so good so far so good I know we're going to get there but at the end of the day it's baby steps you understand baby steps one by one and we will achieve it so we are expecting and we are praying that by next year we should be having the born talent audition season 2 in Kenya and maybe talk about baby steps maybe you've been able to explore the scene or the entertainment scene Nigeria and Abuja maybe what do we need as Kenyans what do we need to work on as Kenyans to make our entertainment industry grow like music wise and also in our film industry in the film industry in Kenya our artists are really working hard that's when I congratulate them and I'll embrace them for that but the hard work begins where the average stops we are not yet there we are not yet there and I really want to pass this to the Kenyan artists teamwork makes the dream work teamwork makes the dream work and I'll insist on this let's become a team let's embrace each other and let's support from there scratch to the top that is what Kenya lacks like once you become a celebrity when somebody comes knocking at your door let's be honest I've experienced it myself it's on a level of 4060 you understand when somebody like but the time you feel this person needs to be embraced it's another country or another continent that has embraced this person and that's where you see most of our Kenyan actors the best that we have they are not with us they are in Hollywood the likes of Lupitanyongo you understand but if they were embraced from our homeland where do you think we will be as a country? you understand Madengue as well Twilite you understand so these are people who if they got that from that kind of support the teamwork from this country we would be in a better place today but it's not too late so I'm urging the different faculties and the different representatives Kenya Film Commission Board Actors Guild of Kenya let's get it there let's embrace the culture the arts the history let us support those who cannot be able to be heard from the outside and if you look very well the people who are putting Kenya in the runway flag these are people that none of the Kenyan citizens thought they would make it maybe finishing off to let you go and rest being a successful female entrepreneur maybe what will you tell a young lady out there maybe that is aspiring to be as maybe you am a go beyond where you are I'm not yet there personally I'm not yet there but majorly I'm looking into being among the best I'm going to be having big productions coming up and so be on the watch not just in Hollywood but Hollywood as well so be on the lookout and what I want to say I'm not going to say it to the women out here no I want to say it out to the youth in general hard work begins where the average stops do not give up do not give up chase your dreams day and night consistency determination and above all patience it's never easy we encounter different challenges each and every single day we encounter different challenges and people will attack in different dimensions trusting me it was not easy like from among the Kenyan film industry for the Nigerian actors guild to decide that she will be the one to represent us in Kenya you understand it took a lot of hard work it took a lot of determination it took a lot of consistency and patience so we are there for me to agree to be an ambassador here it means I believe in my country and I believe when the two countries become one then we are going to make the film industry a better place for everyone yes your viewers and fans and supporters where how they can connect and maybe know what you are up to well to all my viewers to all my fans I want to say thank you very much people have been wondering why I have disappeared in the BMX events very well which concert is coming up and all that now you know what has been happening it hasn't been easy I have been having sessions I have been having seminars on the same but now I am here and now you are ready to move forward I want to say thank you very much for your prayers thank you so much for believing in me and thank you so much for the supports that you have given me as a country and the promise I am going to give to each and every individual out there who has always believed in me Kenya as a country that we are just about to get started and as I own and honour that seat I am not going to be a disappointment so thank you very much and God bless you all
