 Social Friday on why in the morning I go by Moses or it's by money we social media platform as we told you We are going to be having some people that you listen to a radio or TV and you hear the voices You look at them and you envy but they're here to share with us how it's really like to live their lives Yes I don't know if it's Representing for shame come a cow All right, so on this side we have Dana Maybe you can introduce yourself your camera is number. Yes Hey, y'all, I'm Dana. Everybody kind of knows that I don't know So just bear with me on my English. I'm a host for Hebrew TV. Let's talk and that's like the main hustle, I guess No, forget in Nairobi dies. I just like you in Nairobi day. I'll never It's fine, it's fine, you know at the end of the day, it's like that was where I first started You know that was the the original time that I really got into entertainment So I can't knock it. I can just say that I've grown out of it, you know Well, okay, the thing with Nairobi daddy is it's it's it's sort of came to a stop and then we don't know We don't we don't have any updates. You see now, but you give us your reality of your life We need to know how did you get married? I left Nairobi diaries engaged You want to engage that narrow day. I was I was engaged during Nairobi diaries, you know Now he is not part of this life. I like to keep it that way But we were engaged and then we got married at the agey really like Loki the big wedding and all of that is still yet to come But I wanted to bring him back to the States, you know, so I was like, what better way than getting married Here we are like two years later Yes, I Have no idea. Honestly, I don't feel it. It wasn't intentional anything like that I think but you're glad. Yeah, I'm not mad Thank you, thank you, thank you I'd like to take it back to Mr. Charlie slew himself Charlie owner represent for shanks Anna You've always come out strongly to represent for shank. You've had your show shank talk on what's good life Why But come to think of it to keep you around on a part of all the media house is welcome to jump on the shank Everybody Shanks, I exactly and you shank me language Shen platforms all of us in a teacher say so What I've been brought up with so say no All right Brought up with we grew up So when you say what is to come so now a culture and I ruby Culture shank a visa a visa umona transition a shank. All right So come a shanks. You know, I would put the example I Mr. Charlie Ask about that. You know, he's always changing. How do they keep up with it? How do you So shank Calligraph so even the shank you know evolve but Very interesting But the way we may use in a sentence Context So what I'm doing is now is nothing I thought I was gonna do when I grew up I moved You know when I was younger Okay, I graduated high school a year ahead of my class. I really hated school I actually wanted to drop out but instead of dropping out. I made an agreement with my family I was like, okay, I'm just gonna graduate early. And so I took that spare year I went to Zambia and actually helped raise lions and Yeah, it was a really cool program, but it's like you get to hand raised cubs And so, you know, I did the whole Zungu thing, you know come to Africa find yourself and so You know you get there and I was so sure I wanted to do something with the environment and then I kind of realized It's a bitch useless. We already know we kind of have to save it But there's corruption and all these things so I ended up studying criminal justice but I've been getting tattooed since I was 15 and So you cannot be allowed to get into court. That's that thing, you know, I Didn't even want to go to court. At first I was thinking, oh, maybe I'll be a lawyer But then I realized like that's not a fit for me I'd rather be an advocate. So I finished my degree, but I was still in videos. Obviously in Nairobi diaries things like that and so What ended up happening is from Nairobi diaries came more videos came more interviews came a friend of mine recommending me for Let's talk and kind of like what's in the past is in the past. This is my life now I know girls are very Emotional, I'm sorry to say you must have named these cubs. What were their names? I Personally didn't name them You know what happens is the cubs will come maybe from like a say or something like that and then they already have names, but we raised For us a pride of seven and oh my god, they were so cute 12 months 12 months old Okay, I feel like if you saw a lion and you had the opportunity to raise it and be with it You'd probably freak out as much as I did because I loved it. That's even why I have this Paul Yeah All right. I like that What happened that you found yourself in Nairobi diaries? Hey I happened to know somebody who worked on production for that show and you saw me I think he did a cipher video. I was in and so yeah In the sense no now I am now I actually write but back then it was just like Interest was peaking just meal music videos. I'm a white girl with tattoos, you know guys want to put me in stuff So at that point he was like, you know, you have a good look. You should try just being on TV I think he'd be a good fit and then I went to Nairobi diaries Only one season, but still at the end of the day. I was the first white girl. I think I'm the last So I made my own mark and they worked out People know you now. All right, so when you write your rap lyrics are they they are around criminal justice I feel like if I'm gonna use the correct time, I'm going to incriminate myself because you know, I'm from Chicago Yeah, Chicago it ain't yeah Chicago ain't no easy place, you know, and so I don't I don't want to snitch on myself But I do write about the things that I've experienced whether or not they were completely legal or moral or ethical anything like that But you know, you write about your experiences. All right, so the topics of conversation that we have to cover here presenters in studio Mainstream media, how did you learn there? So Mimi since high school Events and stuff so after that Opportunity actually started working before I joined college. I got a stint with the insider magazine as an intern From there and don't commit. I was a what's good studios. They were just setting up shop and the first show we did was shank talk to clarify for like three seasons Jo, you know like for four years And they will meet me up and say kill us or do you also know that I need to in himself Bunga in himself Chosha, how do you go in media? Ndani Ndani, so you're you're an artist. You're you're into film as well, right? Yeah, don't appear fashion So I'm also a rapper with a group called scheme music growing up in Eastlands, Manzio Not going spad daily when I'm a tattoo. He couldn't go for a go. I couldn't So he's the experience over shank and does each and every so I started dropping in Q2 high school Met up with my boy Pia to Konai and it was John Christian. He produces for us As you know to make a kid drop my hits by the way ever since Peter is my jam If you don't have no Peter my friend Yes from Mr. Flexing himself with Monsky, but anyway, so what time we have a conversation not on the real We're all presenters here, so deal to go to come up. I will we go through these things every day. I'm pretty sure Okay, so when it came to some of their pressures that we face as presenters like we have issues when it comes to Stalkers like Stalkers. Have you ever dealt with a stalker? Yeah Yeah Both the Romantic Stalkers and the sort of the messed up Stalker the violence Stalkers I want to go. Yeah, the categories especially for for ladies. I feel like, you know, we go through it So there's the Romantic Stalkers, you know, there are guys I don't even care that you're married I love you so much. And if I'm like listen, it's another like don't you have a white friend? Yeah, yeah, I think the the key to having the relationship be good is that he's never surprised by anything So it's like whenever something happens. I you know show it my phone. I'm like this stupid guy, you know But also my experience is a really unique because other than being the only like white person I know on media I'm also Jewish. So yeah, so I have a really different path than a lot of people to say the least But so yeah, I experienced sort of different stalkers and different vibes everywhere, but you kind of just have to roll with the punches, you know Especially now that you've said you get your inspiration from But I'm phrasing Charlie very wrongly. Actually once I was denier stalker Please all right until I got like a chance to interview her I don't think if you remember, but I'm a stalker but for me stokers I'm See what we are designers at least at least maybe and I admire what you're doing But they have a wrong way of just approaching it. Yeah for they want So communication is very important find a way to communicate what you want to say don't just get there and say even if you're married I Got land in Western for days 30 billion for the account. Oh, all right until I like stuff of conversation and this one is mainly about You know It's it's been trending around for a while. It's called Kenyan music. Yeah. What do you guys think about faster of all? Do you listen to Kenyan music? Of course. Yeah, you know, I've I've been here for seven years I've been in a couple of the videos. I love Kenyan hip-hop, you know calligraph or so It's my friend some of the first friends I made was like G-dash and voodoo and you know a bunch of like all the generation guys I really like the way the Kenyan music is going now the younger generations Like you know the Shrap kind of music those kind of guys As far as play KE music, it's hard because you know the thing is at the end of the day No one wants to be a starving artist. Yeah and so part of this issue is mostly like how can we support the artists and Still allow them to have this creative freedom, you know, because also we're really judgmental again Yeah, you know, we're we're really judgmental here And so there's not a lot of space that's given to artists for like growing room for trial and error stuff like that It's like once once society has decided, you know, we think you're terrible. You'll just stay Terrible So my opinion when I play Kenyan music polytomyfica took on the right spot So babu now you're seeing like the young guys not waiting for the older guys to give them shows Opportunities Events in the My only issue up on your point here support to break down what is supporting? Is it just playing the music? Is it coming to my show and I have a show is it buying my CD? So I can't do Julie's I'm not up to support So fast and it's a very good thing that is a musician your musician as well But So we are all musicians I hear DJs and musicians as well. So we all are affected in this thing. All right, but on to our next topic now Yes, please we have this issue when it comes to being a celebrity, which is the Graham, you know Okay, yeah, we would like to talk about faking it for the gram The other day we had a we had a big presenter suffer very miserable Yes, yes, and I would like to understand when it comes to living your life How how do you how do you differentiate what you live with your reality? Is it offline and online? In fact, I saw someone commenting that if you see me pretending to be rich online Please shut up because I cannot be I cannot be poor online and offline How I handle it um I Felt like faking was just too much effort, you know and Nairobi dairies Sorry to spoil anyone, but a lot of the storylines were fake You know you you thought of the script and for what I always had it was always really real because I felt like I didn't Want to keep up this like long-term lie as far as faking it for the gram Like if I'm in a situation that I can flex I'm gonna flex You know if I find myself in a nice hotel or like if you know somebody in my family buy some cool Look at this thing, but at the end of the day It always has some sort of attachment to my life if I'm walking down the street, and I see somebody's Range Rover I'm not gonna take a photo of that range over and claim it as my own Because you know at the end of the day like somebody's gonna know like girl was just at your house And you have like a Toyota Camry, you know, it's like it wouldn't fit well because at the end of the day Like my success is just gonna grow how it's gonna grow and when somebody catches you in a lie It sets you back more than what you thought you were pushing forward Realness has always been something you're preaching Actually Social Friday social media comes with a lot maybe some of these people who are faking it out to me These are minds a don't report to a nice shoes Yeah, but I mean I've been able to keep it real who can like evil sour I guess even don't I get organic followers other or so I'm gonna follow for who you are You buy followers or you sponsor posts and stuff like that Can I tell you something I've personally struggled with When when when people see me on Instagram or whatever But when I'm in a matatu Goodness gracious me. It's like it's a crime Oh In fact, in fact, some people have even like in a in a in a bid to mock me When I need to be a fair, you know, like come on like I'd like to understand Sometimes you're trying to be real, but they don't let you be real Yeah, you know also Added to this idea that I'm already like on TV and everything I'm a white person So seeing me on a matatu is it's just absolutely insane, you know I think the funniest thing about when someone sees me on a tattoo and they still assume I have money I'm like if I have money, why would I be here? Yeah, why would I be on this matatu? You know, but I also do things that make sense to me Yeah, cuz like my hubby's parents for example, they live they used to live a bit far We moved closer, but so I'm not going to pay to do like 3k to go and see them I'm gonna just take a matatu You know, you do the things that make sense to your life because at the end of the day I can only flex for so long if I'm living above my means So I would rather do the tiny flexes as I grow and try and do big one thing I love for the rest of the year here. I am in my bed-sitter, you know All right, so you chose the worst day to come to wine the morning We are going to be playing a game we are going to be playing another game in a few And we are going to be talking about bloopers as well if you guys have had it but for now Let's take a break then we'll be back with some more of wine the morning.
