What's good, Shori? You look nice. Thank you. Thank you. Please introduce yourself to the masses. Hi guys. Was popping, was hoping. Welcome to my YouTube channel. Yes. Thank you so much for having me on your show. I really, really appreciate. Yes. What's your name? My name is Tracy Whiteira or TW. TW is my brand or I'm a brand. Yes. We are so sorry. How can we find you? You shall be. You shall be. You shall be. You are full of sats. I'm going to have fun with this. I'm going to have fun with this. How can we find you on social media? My social media handles is at Tracy Whiteira at Instagram, Tracy Whiteira in Twitter, Tracy Whiteira in Facebook, Tracy Whiteira everywhere. Yes. In a nutshell. Shori, that smile has maintained. You gotta teach me how to keep it. I'll show you. I'll show you. I'll show you. Teeth out. Desually out. All right. Tell me about yourself. Help me understand who TW is. Feel again.oredra is a young woman who was one day a young girl. Iyango. Iyango is still trying to thrive, to thrive, itch on everything that comes her way, trying to do itch on everything that she may achieve her goals, trying to study, do itch on everything that comes her way, whether good or bad, just for me to have whatever that I want in life. T.W. is a brand that I started not long ago because I think I just discovered that I'm a brand like I knew ago. Why did I discover I'm a brand? It's because I'm really motivated when I feel that people really own their story. So for me I believe that I own my story. I own my story. Like I can tell you my story and I'm like whether you take it positively or negatively, that remains to be my story. Whether it's good or bad to you. I like that. Yes. They said somewhere that apparently in at least one story out there in the world you're going to be the bad guy. Of course. Even if you did your absolute best, even if you did everything right, either way you're still going to be the bad guy in someone's story. And imagine that's okay. Don't okay yourself. So now what does a brand mean to you? Does that mean now we are verified in all the social media platforms? Does that mean when we talk to you we have to sit to dub you at Rejuku Tatresi? What does brand mean to you? Do you have merchandise? Do you have paraphernalia? Do you have cool things that I can wear and show you off? That's where I'm going with this. Do you? Yes, I do have merchandises. I have hoods. I have hoodies. I have t-shirts. Okay, I want. I have a kind of custom. I don't want to wear anything like that. But I don't care. I will support. Continue. Yes, I do have some merchandise of TW brand. A brand is something enthusiastic. A brand is you. What do people see when you walk? How do people define you when you're just walking or just coming in in the studio? What are people seeing when right now you're seated right there? That's a brand. A brand is like you. Your enthusiasm, your qualities, your personality. What do people talk about you when you leave a certain room? What do they say? Val is a very hardworking woman. They have already branded you as a hardworking woman. A brand is something that is walking or just something that can be described in a simple word. You get? For example right now, you don't have to be told that Uru Kenyatta is the president when he walks here. You already know because that's how he was branded. You don't have to be told that Val is a presenter. You already see how on TV, each and every morning, each and every afternoon, each and every evening. So that's a brand. Let me first claim that. Wooo! Give me all that airtime. Lord Amen, continue. Yes, that's a brand. For you to discover that you are a brand, you need to know of how you dress, how you walk, how you talk to people, how you address issues, how you advise people, how you motivate people, how you don't motivate them. You need to know your weaknesses, your strengths. You need to know you are you really, really that person who I can call at any time and talk to. Those are some of the qualities for you to know that you are a brand. A brand is somebody who I can just be seated right here and Val somebody will call and tell you, you're Val, I'm in a problem. Tell me how to go about it. Just tell me. They never chose to call Tracy. They chose to call Val. Why? Because to them you're a brand, a brand of, you can give me something positive. You can just give me a positive vibe. You can just hype my motion up, you know? That I can do. Kenyatta, yes. I am a cheerleader. Yes, exactly, exactly. There are a lot of things that come with being a brand or with trying to portray yourself in a certain way. It could be quite effortless, but there's some things maybe that we want to, I don't know if I want to say improve on ourselves or tuna jaribuku kutaka kuwa pa, but we're not quite there yet. I don't know if it's faking it till you make it or faking it till you make it, but there is a curve, you know? And with the person I am today, I am not who I was yesterday. And atayu kaya grotili wakidogo, it's still different. So maybe the next time I see someone who's been away for six months, maybe atani jua, because I've constantly and I'm intentionally changing. But social media and mummy, weh, take me back to bayi. Yes. Sijui, hi vacationu, nga, oka, sijui, five cars, it's ridiculous, you know? We're trying to trust the process, but also you want to see things, you want to see what want to behave. Does a brand mean copying what somewhere else is doing or maybe if I would use the two of us for example, let's say we're two separate brands, but there's something about you that I like and there's something about me that you like. Is there a space where we can coexist? Can we do things together without the pressures for hudem, atani, be a spotlight, but the spotlight is big, that's why it's called sport, see torch, we together. So help me work this out. It's somewhere between envy, it's somewhere between, you know, you kind of feel helpless, you want to be there, but you're not there just because you've forgotten about the process just for a bit, not a long time just a bit. So walk me through that kind of situation. For me, I think life is a process. Where I started, it's not where I am today. I started working when I was at the age of 17. I was in Funtree because I had to hustle my school fees out and help my mama pay my school fees. Really? Yes. And I had to do things like sales and marketing, selling lines at archives, where you see ladies just standing somewhere doing brand ambassador work in the supermarkets, you stand there holding, selling sanitary towels, wearing a dress written a certain brand, you're trying to tell people more about that certain brand that you're selling, for you to get something little that you can take back home. So to me, I think that life is not how I copy Val. Life is not how I try and do things the way Val does. I believe that life is how I do best. Because if I try and copy you Val, I will never have the same goals as Val has. My goals are totally different from yours. They might be the same, but how you will achieve them and how I will achieve them, that will be totally different. Because, you know, for example, we have social media influences, right? Somebody who like, you'll just open your social media and you'll be like, my goodness, I want to be like this certain lady. Kitatresa had a photo shoot there that day almost cried. Actually now Kitatresa to me is like now a mentor to me. You know? Yes. But now for Kitatresa, I'll have her because she will tell us step by step about the process. She will take us back and show us she did not just start somewhere and she's on Netflix. She did not just start and just went like that. She did not just wake up and then the next morning she was at 1.2 million followers. She did not. She has a process that she follows. There is somewhere Alipitia. She had to go for a million auditions like we do. And the nose. Yes. Why the nose? You have to get out your oomf in front of judges and one judge is like, you know what? You don't even know how to act. Yes. You don't even give your time of day. Exactly. Or even you've just given one line to say, kwenya. Can you imagine getting such a line in a home movie? Kwenya. Yes. I will say it without giving me one line. Kwenya. Okay, I'm done. Yes, exactly. So Val, I believe that life is a process and you really need to trust your process because if I try and follow people's life, how they live, how they work, how they do things categorically, you will really suffer because they will not just wake up and find themselves there. And remember Val, if God says that your door, today I'm just going to walk on Val's door and your blessings will be tomorrow, nobody will touch them. If God says it's Val, it's Val. If Anasema, you know what? I think Val has ever helped somebody out there. It's making me feel nice. Yes. God will certainly come to your door. So I always say that blessings is just like something so mysterious or something so amazing because you may just sleep, you're wondering of how you will just make it in this life. Then God does your Val. Just here. But did you tap into my thoughts? I have sleepless nights sometimes, wondering what I'm doing. Everybody does. Like, where am I going? Yes, exactly. And even wondering, oh my goodness, all these certificates and then the other person is like looking, my goodness, my mama cannot even afford my school fees. So you're two different people. One is looking at all the certificates without a job. The other person is looking at how the parent cannot even afford school fees to take you to a university or even a college. Two different situations. The person who never even goes to school or something lands him or herself a very good job. The person with certificates and all, everything, the person lacks. Or even the vice versa. So that's why I say that God's timing is always the best and you need to wait. The problem with us human beings including me, patience. And then you make the mistake of praying and asking for patience and then you're putting situations to help you understand what you're asking for. Yes, so sometimes we lack that patience of believing that maybe one day I will be. Maybe one day I will be like what I dreamt of years ago. Maybe in the next five years I will be at a certain level that right now I'm not. Maybe when I reach at this particular moment I will be this and this and this you get? So whatever you need to have is a lot of patience and believing in yourself. Because value will expect a lot of people to believe in you and the only people who will come or maybe it's your mama or your dad and you have a million friends they don't believe in you. You can imagine if you follow the mob you're lost. If you decide to follow that one person then you're cool. But if you follow that one person there will be consequences. The mob will try and judge you. Give you insinuatives each and every time that you're walking they will either say something positive or negative but mostly negative about you. So it all depends by how did I take it as well? How did I take it as Tracy? Where is it even leading me? You get? So sometimes you're all influenced even with our friends we find ourselves doing things that we never imagined ourselves we will do where ya nile tem tu lianza tu maisha you're like okay. And the funny thing is we usually judge we usually judge how many people have I judged in my life and as I have been living that life in Mejikuta too just doing the things I used to judge I'm like okay na amizi. Exactly. So it really needs that you need to like always motivate yourself because if you're just waiting each and every time to be motivated by other people we tend to get lost. We really tend to get lost. If somebody told me one day you know me being somewhere like here it was once a dream when I'm just in class failing my biologies and chemistries failing my biologies and chemistries I can see you just guessing ya failing all the sciences sometimes I was like you know what I just wish that one day I will be on a TV just being interviewed or me doing an interview to someone she does those by the way we'll get to that shortly. Exactly. So sometimes we pray for things but because they didn't come like that first how we wanted we feel bad and that bad that we feel the guilt that we feel that what makes our blessings to be delayed because we are really tending to be like ah manza elisha en danga I was make whatever we possess with our mouths it really works 100% sure it really works whatever you possess with your mouth this it's very tricky but whatever that you command with your mouth to it can certainly happen at a you just blink and open it happens kujung elisha kuwango after this hashtag is one in the morning I want to talk about your other project that you haven't really brought to light maybe we can talk about that and then because I know time is up we're going to look at the time and it's going to be over let's just first do that So about TW there is the last thing that you don't mention TW has a foundation a foundation of helping the need in the community mostly Regno is not that ongoing like a big project it's just a small project that I just started like a month ago but why you don't play it it's such a big deal please let's celebrate it thank you so the problem or the good thing or why I maybe looked at that sector for me to be where I am why people acting as stepping stones in my life so yeah I want to act as a stepping stone to somebody out there I like that I interviewed the once reigning goja Miss World Kenya yes 1999 2000 and she came and she first dropped a lot of wisdom please go check that interview out but my favorite thing about what she said or something that I took home with me is the name of her song it's never too late it's never too late to anything I mean really where if you isn't in school but it's never too late to maybe even change your career if you've been a doctor you're alive go ahead it's never too late is that something that you're also feeding into the people that you are working with and it's something in me so much always be that person who wakes up every day with that mindset of achieving because if you have that mindset of achieving each and every day that you wake up whatever that your heart wants you will go that way if you know you always work each and every day like day in day out as a doctor but you feel that your heart really loves DJing you will wake up with that heart of achieving you will go mix those songs naosi mix kualab na exactly so always say that every day you wake up with a very positive mindset and the mindset of achieving because if you wake up with a mindset of achieving whatever that your heart feels like and you already have that mind of achieving it but if you won't have that mind set of achieving anything you'll only be there just because you're there you'll be there just because you're there and you'll be there just because you're there you'll be there just because you're there you'll be there just because you're there but it's because life has pushed you to that particular corner and you as Val you have like you have taken it to that corner so sometimes we get ourselves in different positions in life not because we want it's because some circumstances in life they force us to be there so what makes you get out of that particular position you will get a lot of criticism but sometimes it's good to amua amua too it's very good to just make up your mind and do you just do you I think you're my spirit animal apokwa do you and demotivate sanasana jipende I want to state categorically I'm such a big fan of whatever is happening in this here world concerning mental health and the constant awareness that before first of all black people could not talk to people because you can't talk to a psychologist or psychiatrist because you're black alafu boy child manome afaikuleya na afaikujikazas juya na afaikfa but I don't think we put a lot of emphasis on how the cognitive process works on the rest of us you know if I'm down all the time or if I'm being hard on myself which I do a lot I'm my worst critic so if that's happening in my head then meeting you I might not get all the don't understand like if you're about to change my life in a certain way miraculously or if you were about to tell me something that would have sparked an idea in my head ita ni pita tuivo ita ru di tu sijui as if kwauch podero it's just do you think that we should add volume for lack of a better phrase to mental health awareness yes we should apart from doing titabli and everything I'm a motivational speaker loki so I've met like different people in my life even my age meds even older than me I'm so young see how you slit that in there yes I've met like ladies in different relationships who currently they're in relationships but they suffer from domestic violence yes very but when you sit down with them the reason they will tell you that they are staying in that particular relationship is because the boyfriend has given me somewhere to stay the boyfriend has given me some yes we do understand sometimes dosa needs because maybe you don't want to go back to your payroll maybe you don't even have parents so it criticizes you or it clicks into your mind you start having mental disorder because you know you start looking so down onto yourself that each and every time I'm around people talk about all positive things the only thing that I have to talk about is how my life is not going straight it gives you mental disorder what happens when you get such a thing or such a case to handle I always tell people I always even tell you you're in a relationship you're having domestic violence in that relationship na dania no you have no kid you have a talent you have a dream you have a goal to achieve then that's on you if you reach to me your goals you tell me but that's a whole other topic because I guess it's the fear of being alone let me tell you val something if you fear being alone then you'll never have peace and peace of mind is expensive before you start enjoying my Kampani niki kuita tuwake first enjoy yours you have stopped it you have fun when you have those earphones on then go on have it from now on we are friends yes thank you before you start adding you'll enjoy Kampani niki kuita tuwake sometimes it happens that you feel you're so downval that you just start home and you're like man say I really need to just call somebody yani akam tuwake tuwake you see that loneliness which is cool it's cool to be lonely I say it's cool it's cool to be lonely because you will never lack a time in life that you're lonely even the president one day you will never write a book please all my instagram no you can't give up maybe you used your yes exactly yes so for me I always say sometimes enjoy your Kampani you need to because if you don't and the moment you wait for people to be always there for you you will never make a personal decision in your life you'll only be making decisions out of influence or be making good decisions because you have a good company so it's very difficult for you to tell me that you can't stay lonely like it happens who needs to hear this who out there needs to hear this why do you think people say that I just want a long drive alone maybe they are always around people they don't have that alone time now they have been all around people that I need my alone time have you ever stayed around people and then you're like hey think my girl scientific straight man you're just hearing other people's voices yours has disappeared what's happening you're like doing decisions doing things because people are doing them you've never made a personal decision it's because you like to give yourself some mental time just your time it's good to have your time think about your goals when I come and ask you where do you want to be in 5 years you will stay to meet but if you just you make your head like a cocoon when I ask you where do you want to be in such a particular time you don't know speaking of which please do
