Our Pals Influenza Awards 2023 and right here with me, I'm hanging out with a beautiful Murugimuni. Hi! How are you doing? Thank you. You look beautiful. Thank you. I feel beautiful. You do? That is the most important thing for sure. Let me ask you, are you nominated today and what category are you nominated in? So, I'm nominated for two awards. Personally, for my platform, Murugimuni, I'm nominated as Instagram Influenza of the Year and then also for my podcast, TMI Podcast KE, we are nominated for podcast Influencers of the Year. Amazing! Now, how does it feel to just be recognized for the work that you're doing and just putting out there? It feels amazing. It feels validating. It feels affirming. It's like a stamp of approval and a stamp of excellence, like what you're doing is not just for nothing and to be recognized among the best in the country, whether we win or not, it just feels really good to know that we are in the top and that people know what we are doing, people like what we are doing and it gives you drive to keep going basically. Now, talking of drive, you know, as much as you know your vocal, putting out your opinions out there, some people, it doesn't really sit well with them, how do you take that and now are you actually able to handle it? As for how I'm able to handle it, I feel like it's not... I focus on the good. I feel like no matter who you are, if there are people out there who don't like Beyonce, Sembu se wewe, who are you that you will not be liked by someone? I feel like no matter what kind of content you make, there will always be people who love your content and there will be people who don't like your content. So, for those who don't, I just always tell them, it's okay you can just unfollow Chukuli Vibhaya because I know I'm not for everyone, even me, there are pages that I go to and even though it's great content, maybe I'm just like because of maybe my trauma, my upbringing, my background, what I prefer, I might not like that kind of content. So, I always just, I don't take it personally. I'm just like, it's not about me, it's really just about them and they can prefer what they want and that's okay, it's not like it means my content is bad, it just means that they prefer other kind of content. Yeah, and that's okay. Now, I see Zak is a company new today, you guys can't see him on camera right now, but let me ask you, what is the most, that thing that you appreciate the most in Zak? Oh my gosh. Yeah, so many things I appreciate about him, gosh, but I would say the thing I appreciate most is his calmness because I tend to be a really, really high person, so making decisions, I do them quickly, even doing things like whether it's to do with investments or what me of Pedatu Arakaraka, but him, he's a very calm person, he's the kind of person who's like, wait, let's think through this a little bit. It's like when I'm really panicking, worst case scenario, he's like, no, just relax, he's always just telling me, just relax, which can be very annoying, but at the end of the day, it really helps calm me down. So I really appreciate his calm demeena. Any plans to relocate because, hey, those strips, those strips. No, we are not planning to relocate for now, we were considering it, but we just felt like right now it would not be the best decision, especially because we have really small kids, na onajahu kuakuna mananis, mahousekeepers, and of course my businesses are all here, my podcast, my fashion boutique, so we decided for now it was not the best decision, maybe in the future, but not right now. What's going to change if you walk away with an award tonight? Not much, let me tell you, but last time, last year when I won the awards, nearly increased rate card immediately. That same night, siku lala without increasing, because for me to be able to say, I am the top Instagram influencer in this country, that means something to me, and that's something I can take to brands and say, yeah, you could work with others for cheaper, but I am the best Instagram influencer, or we are the best podcast in the country. So for me obviously if I win, it's going to be like I'm increasing my rates, and also just feeling good, let me just say I will just feel good. What makes you the top Instagram influencer? See, pal to amesema. Yeah, my content is good, I am consistent with how often I put out my content, I feel like I truly care about my audience, I feel like I create content that matters, I'm not pretentious, and not say that other people on the list are, but I just feel like I go out of my way to show my real life, so that no one can ever be like, oh, but online you're like this, but when we meet you in person, you're somehow different, I am just who I am, and I think that's what makes my content so amazing. How easy or hard is it to remain authentic? I feel like it just depends on your own personality. If you are comfortable in yourself, if you are okay with yourself, then it's easy for you to be authentic, because then you love who you are, so you're happy and comfortable to show everyone else who you are, but if you don't love yourself, then obviously the person who you want to portray to others, or how you want to be perceived, will not be the person that you actually are, so you'll always have to keep pretending. So if you love yourself, it's easy, if you don't, it's going to be extremely hard. Morugimuniya, say it guys, if you love yourself, it's going to be easy. Thank you so much for talking to us, we wish you all the very best, we're here to talk to you in case you walk away with that award. Thanks, I'll be here, I'll be here. Alright, thank you. Thank you so much.
