 Yes, I go by the name of BiMoses or It's BiMone every social media platform and it's always a pleasure to hang out with you every single weekday from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. So today happens to be my favorite day as you can see and I have a very powerful strong woman in studio with me before I introduce her WhiteFair4 channel on Twitter, WhiteFair4 underscore channel on Instagram, and WhiteFair4 on Facebook as the way to reach us. Don't forget the hashtag Why In The Morning, don't forget the hashtag Quinn's Wednesday. So Cess is here, CEO and founder of Glam by Cess. Yes. I hope I didn't miss anything, Cess. No, no, no, you didn't go into anything. All right, and of Bachelor of Commerce, be a graduate. Yes, be a graduate. From the University of Nairobi. Yes, you have a reputation, the University of Nairobi, but that's a story for another day. Right now we'll focus on the reason you're here, but maybe you can introduce yourself. Your camera is number two, anything I missed. Bachelor's degree from the University of Nairobi, CEO and founder of Glam by Cess. Yes. Yeah, so my name is Cecilia, actually Cecilia Wangari Munioro Bargubar. That is your do-man, right? Yeah, that's my person name. Oh, your person name. All right. So yeah, and I'm from a village in Nyeri called Karagoine. Yes, and I'm out of two. A boy and a girl. The boy turning six and the girl is turning two. Balance. I know. Yes, they are actually born on the same month. They have like a difference of five days. Difference of five days? Yeah, same month. So, birthdays are a budget, yeah? Oh, that's awesome. God bless you. Best thing ever. So you combine their birthdays. So, budget is nice. You only have one birthday every year. All right, I like that. So, a mom, an entrepreneur, and a landed friend as well. Yeah. All right. So, you're from Nyeri? Yes, I am. But not born and raised in Nyeri, right? Born and raised in Nyeri. Born and raised in Nyeri. Yes. At what point did you come to the BK for whole city? I think the first time I came to Nairobi, no, I used to visit my relatives, my uncles and aunties. I used to do that as well. Yes, I was born somewhere. So, I always look forward to the holidays. I always look forward to holidays. So, yeah. But I think the first time that I came to Nairobi and stayed for a while, it's after I got done with my high school. So, I came to do computer and driving in Nairobi. So, you're a driver? Yes. You're a certified driver. Yes, but I'm not even good at it. So, let's not brag about that. All right. But anyway, so, the reason you came to Nairobi was to settle in Nairobi was for education. Yeah, for education purposes. Education purposes. And then you ended up in the university. Yeah. All right. So, at what point did you figure out, all right, I have an eye for style and I want to make this work for me? I think I've always had an eye for style. But I feel the fact that I'm from the village, I was not able to exploit it. Yeah, you know, you have to be decent, you have to be. And you know, fashion most of the time is referred to not. Yes. One problem I have with the village is when you're walking, it's like your dad is walking, your mom is walking, you're representing everybody that she left home. So, but I used to, what if I like almost everything my mom bought for me? I had to do something about it, put your sleeve, make it shorter. Yeah, it was always like that. Did you ever get in trouble for all this funk that you were putting in your? Yes, my mom. I am so sure she's watching. I hope she's watching right now. She is, yes. So, she used to think, what are you doing? These are an expensive dress, why you messing it up? Yeah, then my dad has always made fun of me. He keeps saying, where were you at? He's like, I can't get it. How do you wear this? All right. Because you go beyond the car, so you break the rules a little bit. Yeah. All right. So, but they came to understand that you're different. Yeah, at some point, after I got done with my compass, then my dad was like, why do you want to sell clothes? Why do you want to? We didn't take you to school to do this. Yes, get a green job. He was quite disappointed, but with time, he just came to lunch, just like that. So, you've never had 95? I have. You've had a job? Yes, I've had a job. This was immediately after campus? Yeah, immediately after. Even before, I used to work somewhere, and I used to go to school at the same time. So, you've always been a musler? Yes, I'm too much. Your choice of, the choice of the course that you studied in school, did you choose it? Did you have to make it yourself? Well, good in maths. You always go to maths, but you don't say? I know. But yeah, it's something that I wanted to pursue, but then I had this other part. I knew you just go to school then. My parents already used to pay the school fees. I was hard qualified. So, yeah, I wanted to do something because I loved maths. Only right now, I love fashion more. You love fashion more. All right. Are these two meetings somewhere in the long run? You're doing your fashion business. You study Bicom. Are they meeting somewhere? It's because Glamby says it's a business. Yes. As far as I love doing it, it's a passion, but it's also a business. It's also a business. Whatever I started in campus, it really helps me to manage my business. Whatever you started, it helps you manage your business. Where did the capital come from? How did you start? No, let's say, okay, when it comes to study, you don't need capital as such because it's an art. I offer a service, but before then, I remember even before I after I was done with campus, I opened a boutique in town. And I used to go to Gikomba when I was in campus and pick some pieces, then sell them to my classmates, earrings, bangles. So, it started there. So, then I could save. So, you started saving in campus. You started hustling in campus, saved up and opened your own place after campus and then focused on styling. All right. This is an aspect of fashion that not so many people understand. I bet your parents will watch it right now. Don't even guess it. Because we have the designer. People just say, I can just piece these two and put them together and dress up. But you are the link between the designer and the person who's going to wear the outfit. All right. So, do you feel like Kenyan's already appreciating this need for stylists? Yeah, we've come a long way. And I'm proud to say that we are headed somewhere. There are steps every other year. Yeah. I mean, the fashion industry is really great. And we appreciate that because it gives us now a platform to showcase what we can do. Yes. All right. So, have you ever been in a situation where you got clothes from a designer and you put them on someone the way you thought they were going to look the best and then had a conflict with the person that designed the clothes? Because they had a different vision. In the past, I worked both with designers and boutiques. Yeah. So, some are ready made and then we talk about, yeah. So, we can mostly with designers, we sit down and we decide this can work for. So, before they even make it, I have a say in that. All right. All right. And I've also spoken to the clients and we agreed. You agreed with them. Yeah. So, we really have a conflict because it's something that we talk about before even the piece is made. All right. You focus on both men and women's fashion. Yeah. Which is quite rare. Not so many people have that eye for both men's fashion and women's fashion. All right. So, how would you describe your touch in men's fashion? Because I'm looking at your work, at your work for you. There's a certain vibe I'm getting from it. You're dressed gentleman. Yes, I am. It's not streetwear, per se. No, I think the issue you have not seen more of streetwear, it's because most of my clients, I don't know, have done streetwear before. You've done streetwear as well. Yeah, but now most of my clients are, you know, TV personalities. And they do it for TV. Yeah, they do it for TV. So, these are certain rules that you need. The rules for TV that you can even, you know, that. Yes, yes, yes. So, we keep it safe and classy and, you know, and I love to play with colors. For guys, because most guys don't like turnout colors. You bring the outfits to life. Yes. By putting some color in there. Yes, yes. All right. I see the likes of Gadion Angel. I see Jeff Mote. I see DJ Soxi. I see, I'm focused on the men first. We'll go to the ladies because it's Queensland's day, they'll get a lot of time. I see Andrew Alovia. I see Moji Shot Baba. I see these are people that you can't click your explorer on Instagram and miss them. Like they're out there right now. How do you, how do you manage to, to get all this clientele together? Because these are like, I think the people who are popping right now in the industry, if you ask me. Because I feel like in this industry, you have to do a good job for someone to notice it. So I felt my first client was Jeff Mote. Yes, the, the gents. Yeah, for the gents. How did you get in touch with them? Why did you get a hold of them? We are friends with Jeff Mote. So when he got his first TV job, I kept telling him, I am going to do this. You're going to do this. You're going to do this. And then he believed in me because he had seen me do other things before. So yeah, so we started here. And then the minute he got his first job at K24, and he posted the first photos that I had styled him, everyone loved it. Yeah, because I, I, I love, as I said before, I love color. Yeah, so I made him better of his comfort zone. Yeah. And everyone got to notice. Yeah. So after this, you got referrals from them. So people are checking it, sliding in my DM. All right. People are sliding in that DM. But for real, yeah, they were. And, you know, just asking how, how much do you charge? Can you tell me? Yeah. And I mean, the rest is history. It started there. Yeah. It started there with the guys. All right. So, uh, you appreciate the power of Watermove as a marketing tool. Yes. Yes. Yes. It's your best marketing tool so far. Yes, it is. All right. What about social media? Uh, when I said, like, uh, it plays a huge role in social media, yeah. Because you see now, even if most people wouldn't say, oh, get in touch with my stylist, they'll follow me. I mean, the minute Jeff started tagging me and he has friends and, you know, colleagues in the industry, so they started following me. They'll do my job and then they will want to try me out. And, but I mean, social media is this in thing right now. You have to do it right. It's business to me. Yes. You can't sleep on this. You can't. Shout out to a man like Jeff, by the way, for supporting, uh, supporting structures in this industry right here. All right. So, uh, to the ladies, I've seen a number of beautiful celebrity chicks here, the two of style. Uh, huh. Uh, obviously you started with styling ladies. I'm guessing. Yes. All right. No, no, for the ladies, I started immediately with my friends and myself, and they're all post photos of myself or Mr. Grubb. So people will know that she's into this. Yeah. Yeah, but my first, first client surprisingly was Jeff Morton. All right. Yeah. So you started with a man so that you have a touch for the gents. Yes. All right. When it comes to the ladies, I'm done with the gents. Let's focus on the quiz. All right. When it comes to the ladies, do you dress them, uh, like how you'd like to look like if you had their body type or you listened to them? Oh, I wish I could do that. Most of the time I was just looking at them, I'm like, damn, I wish that was my body, you know? Yeah. But, um, there's a lot to consider because you have to consider all, we all have different body types. We have different complexions. Complexion is a factor. It is. And we have what we are comfortable in because I would like to dress into something, but it won't be comfortable. And you know, comfort is key because it also does a lot of things with your confidence, especially if you're like on air or something like that. Yeah. So on the runway. Yeah. On stage, performing. Yeah, definitely. As long as you, somewhere people are looking at you, you need to be confident. Yeah. So we sit down and the clients will tell me I like this and I like this and then I'll advise them and I'm like, this doesn't work for you. You should try this. Yes. All right. So, uh, how is, how is the process like? So, um, like, right, uh, says I'll be going for, for an award ceremony. Uh, why two, five, four film awards? Yeah. There's a red carpet. I'll be the host. Uh, I need this and this. Where do you think I should take it? I ask you that question and then we sit and then we converse it. Yeah. Well, mostly just give me a call or send me a text. I'm like, I have this event on Saturday. No, mostly I prefer being told like a week earlier so that I can be able to. A week is enough for you. Yeah. A week, a week is enough. So, um, so once you got a bit confused, I'm just wondering. Looking at yourself. This is you, right? Yes. You're killing the game for him. Maybe you can open this picture for us. So yeah, you give me a week. Uh, you tell me, you know, week's time and then we, yeah, we get to discuss and we see what we can do about it, but it all depends with the event. It all depends with the event. And then I give you the money, then you go shopping for me. For, it's different. It's different. It works differently. It's different for celebrities. Yes. So cause it is both water, this wardrobe styling and this personal styling. All right. Yes. Before we focus on what, just leave it there and just leave the screen as it is. Break it down for us. So there's wardrobe styling and personal styling. Yeah. All right. It's different. Like I sometimes already do personal styling. It's from a normal note, a celebrity, not a TV personality. So you just want to get dressed for a certain event that you're going. That is important. Maybe it's your friend's wedding or just maybe a red carpet. But mostly for styling, like for personalities and celebrities, it's all about, we call it influencer marketing. So influencer marketing here, the shops where I get the clothes, among the designers, they get to benefit through, through the shouts. The celebrity gives the shop. All right. All right. So you link the dealer of the clothes with the influencers. So you're the middleman. Then you make them look so good in their clothes. Yes. And then everybody wins. Everybody wins. And then some money is in between here. Because what happens now, the designer or the shops, they get a lot of clients coming to ask for the clothes that the celebrities have won. So in this case, the celebrities don't buy the clothes. Yes. All right. Because they're marketing the shops. Okay. I get that. Works really perfect for you. All right. Just slow down. Slow down. Take it. Take it down. Take it down. This is a very little. This is your little job right here. You guys own all day. This is your family right now. Yes. Your son and daughter. Yeah, my son and daughter. And they're styling the Swajin as well. They have to be. They have to. I love this so much. All right. Let's just go back. Back, back, back. Right. We can go. Let's go. Let's go. I saw somebody that really looks familiar. We can go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is a very good friend of mine. She is. She's amazing. And her body. So this is all you right here. Yes. Yes. You make, you know how to make people look good. Thank you. Thank you so much. I want this picture right here. If you can focus on that picture. All right. So this is all you. So let me look at the captioning. Style Diaries with Pyramid Ken Official for Beatbox Live K24M. Two piece from Elegance Fashion Kenya. MUA. What is MUA? Makeup Artist. Okay. Now you know. Thank you. I learned a lot on Why in the Morning. And this is that day that I learned from it. All right. So I see how you shout them out. That is the format for posting. For posting. Yes. All right. So this is your personal. I bet when they post the pictures as well they get even more reach. Yeah. They get even more. Yeah. Yeah. All right. All right. All right. All right. So when we go to Hollywood. Yeah. We have people like celebrity stylists. Like a stylist has done his or her thing. Yeah. Made people look good. Yeah. Up to a point where now the media wants attention. Yeah. Once his or her attention. All right. Is it something that you're looking at right here in Kenya or in Nairobi? Is it something that is about to happen? About to happen? Yeah. I feel like it's about to happen because we have a lot of people like me. I have a lot of people in boxing me, inviting me for events. So it's a good thing. Now that means they have noticed your work. I mean they have looked at your page and they know they already understand what your kind of style and they want you to be part of them. Yeah. So I feel like we're here right here. You're here. We're going to have celebrity stylists within this country. Yes. But we are. I am a celebrity stylist. You are. So that's why you're here, my dear. All right. But I'm looking at that point where we have maybe on photos for you guys and influencing on your own and different things like that. All right. Your Instagram is really popping. How do, do you get professional photographers to do this or you just, or some of them I just thought. Some of them I take my phone and then the rest are the clients majorly are taken by a professional photographer. Yes. Wow. Wonderful. I love this so much. Thank you. I love this so much. I never knew that this could happen right here in Nairobi. It is. It is happening. It's happening. It's a business. It's a line of work. Yeah. All right. People are appreciating us more and more. Yeah. All right. So when we get, we are having a lot of festivals in Nairobi. Yeah. Most recently we had the Kuroga festival. Yeah. We have the Africa Duvall. Yeah. We have Blankets and wine. And when I look at such events, people go to show out. Yeah. All right. Are these peak seasons for you? Yeah. They are. They are peak seasons. It's such an exciting season because we get to be creative. Especially like for, for me I will say I have a lot of clients that are on TV. So I am not able to be creative as much because I have rules that are good for me. But when they get to go out. I love that. You love that when they get to go out. Yes. Yes. Yes. So I have some. Yeah. I have some clients who are ready to break the rules. To break the rules. All right. So these are peak seasons for you. Yeah. So more festivals should come. More festivals. They better for us.

Sometimes I even provide hair. All right. All right. Yeah. Sometimes but now that depends. Yeah. So I give you a full look in terms of how I'll give you a dress. I'll give you shoes. I'll give you accessories. Yes. All right. The reason I ask this, what is people really underestimate the power of accessories in a look? Yeah. Like myself. I don't have a watch right now. Yeah. I don't have a change. Very important. So what is the power of accessorising your look? I mean it gives the look a completely different feel from what it was if it's plain. Yeah. So I feel like it adds more life to announce it. It adds life to announce it. Yes. All right. What can you compare it to say in a food setting? What are accessories in food? I love food.
