We have the reigning miss universe Jerry Kimani, Karibus Anna, I sent his Anna so enjoy you Kimani Your camera is number four You can give people a brief bio of yourself. All right. My name is Jerry Kimani I am a mother of one a mother of one. Yes. I never saw that coming. Yes. I'm a mother of one a son He just turned seven years Then I'm a teacher by profession and also a show host at MTN TV Samba's a gospel every Friday and more importantly. I'm a teacher by profession. All right. Yes You're good with kids. Very good. You're saved Yes So you host a gospel show as well. Yes. All right, despite being the reigning miss universe Yes, did you ever did you always want to be a model? Well, not really actually it came from my best friend who's called Liz. She's been pushing me all along And she's like I think you can do this your body matches it your face matches it and I'm like, no I don't think I can do this so when I saw the missus universe. I've been thinking I'm past being a miss So I saw the missus universe thing and I'm thinking wow a miss is a mother, you know So I said let me go for this and see how it goes. It was actually just having fun on the run, you know So I'm just there having fun and then it goes by contestant number six You're there in this that she came up with this bright idea. No, she's always been pushing me all along any time She sees people modeling doing the runaway the modeling thing itself. So complements to how you have this ground. Yes It goes down to you can't have done it without To send a shout out. Oh, this is Elizabeth Waka. Hey, I'm a very good friend. Hi, Elizabeth Waka Thank you very much for giving us the reigning miss universe right here. All right. Yes so Get I'm what I'm getting from you is that You are pushed to do this. Yes. All right. Your passion is in teaching. Yeah. Yeah, I love teaching I think it's the best option. You know being bringing the change to the children and raising a different generation That's what it is for me. All right. What do you teach if you don't mind? I teach at Mosaika kindergarten between the ages of five years to six years. So I might say have the top class You over there. They call me miss Kimani miss Kimani. No teacher Kimani. No Teaching is what I do. My name is Kimani. All right. So they call you miss Kimani over there I like that. You must be really good with kids. All right So, uh, your kid having having a kid teaching kids and uh The cause of this mrs. Universe was to impact the life of kids directly or indirectly. Yes, true All right, but but before we talk about that how many categories were there? There were there were quite a number because there was the mrs. Congeniality. I had that word for the first time. All right Maybe you can tell them what it means All right, mrs. Congeniality is more of the person who's the loving person the friendly person And that's somebody had to go with a crown and somebody who actually held us together Or maybe the person who was more motherly In between as we're all mothers. Yes, but there's just that one person who stood out with what she did So yeah, that's the congeniality part What did you do for that category congeniality category? Well, that one was just picked from how we related with each other all along All right. Yes. So they were studying you all along. All right. Do they have cameras around? No, it was more really cameras, but they had people looking at you all the time So you wouldn't know when you were being observed or not. All right. Yes. Nice one. And then the next category We had the mrs. Popularity now this goes to facebook the social media you had to hunt for votes So we had somebody was hunting for the congeniality. We had Judy Camundia She's the one who took it then for the mrs. Personality I mean that's miss then popularity. Sorry. That was um, somebody else took that You had to hunt for the votes get the vote and go home with the votes So you had to convince people why they should vote for you. Unfortunately. I was the lowest All right. Oh, when it comes to popularity That is not your thing No, that's not my thing All right, but how did you get to become miss? Miss is universe. I think now it's more of the holistic parts of it Now combined with the talent with the personality with the congeniality There had to be one person who would actually fit the shoe of all of them. I'm interested in the talent part What did you do for the talent category? Oh my talent. I did a spoken word on gender-based violence. Yes Is this something you've been doing over time? Not really. It was actually a one-off a friend again pushed me to do that And she's like, I think you talk a lot. You can come up with something So I did it and I went for it actually and it worked out just fine. You know, I loved it And then you won the crown. Yes, and then it happens. I won the crown. Yes But now you're working with the other winners of the other categories on something special gender-based violence Tell me more about this. Well Looking at it right now in this world that we are in right now It's very unfortunate. We have a different case a different scenario happening every single day or even every 10 minutes It's only that most of them are not reported, but going by the facts. It's happening Too often than we thought So it's there and it's not choosing who's it who's whether it's the boys or the girls or the children or the babies It's on everybody right now. It's on everybody. So people violating other people's rights based on their gender Yeah, based on the gender. Yes. All right. What do you think is the root cause of this problem? I think the way you've been brought up the way we are bringing up our children The way you are brought up is very different and then again with the influence of the media And then there's too much copying. You see like you don't even know why somebody is doing the way They're doing it, but because you think you like it you actually go for it So your suggestion we should not watch wrestling No without kids You know, I remember my mom used to say you can't watch wrestling because you'll start fighting again Why are we letting these children watch wrestling? Are we explaining to them what those guys are doing? Because if you teach them, it's okay to hit and then they don't even need to watch wrestling because already in our In our homes right now. We've made it a resummonia. So already we are fighting in the houses They don't even need to watch that wrestling. So there's no need to even watch that They can already see mommy hitting daddy or daddy hitting mommy and they think it's all right If somebody pisses you off you hit them. So it starts from a very early stage Yes, it's what means tell in our kids. All right. It's nothing about personality. No, it's nothing It's actually how we're bringing up our children because even the words we're saying to our children They are carrying them with them. I remember friend once telling me that he remembers the dad talking to the mom in a very rude manner And he can 30 years later. He can remember himself telling the wife the same thing It with the exact same amount of weight and bitterness that the father used on the mom So that tells you something even with them. I think they're children. They're just there but actually they're persons It goes back. Yeah, they're actually because they're looking for a role model So if they can't have somebody to emulate, where are we putting our children right now? Yes, so when we talk about gender based violence people assume that it's against women always No, it's not against women. It's gender. Gender can be both female or male So we have men who are going through this for once are right now Men I think the problem with the men is that we've taught them when you want to That's the problem we have right now. So we hide it. Yeah, you're hiding it And it's going to a point where now we've got very high cases of suicide and then depression is real It's becoming too much. It's too rampant right now because of it. Yes I was talking to someone on sunday. I was talking to a group of youth and I was selling them It's like a balloon. You blow a balloon. You blow a balloon. So there's so much air going in it Then what happens when it's too full and it explodes. Yes, it explodes It's the same thing that's yes and even to our men. We've given it the attention too much on the woman We are looking you're overlooking the man. So the the man is trying to find a way to actually show we exist We are here. We are there So they're trying to become the perpetrators or hit the women because now the attention again is shifting Because most of the perpetrators are actually men if you find out. All right. Yes Wow wise words from Jerry Kimani herself That is the reason you're doing something for the boy child We'll be talking about that in a few white 54 channel on twitter white 54 underscore channel on instagram White 54 on facebook. Don't forget the hashtags white in the morning and queen's wednesday and strength of a woman Don't forget the hashtags if you'd like to interact with us. Mr. Jerry Kimani. So uh When it comes to gender based violence, all right, uh, so we have Got some understanding of the root cause of it What are some of the solutions you guys are bringing in with your crew? Well, leave alone the solutions that we've always Yes, yes, yes So right now we're trying to do something different or say the different way. We're starting with the children We are actually getting the children to talk to us and tell us what they see Because but for the child to talk they actually have to trust you and the moment they trust you You're not supposed to break that trust So you're not supposed to pass on that story to somebody else But you find a way of solving that problem because if that trust is broken right now you cannot recover it at any point So broken trust is very hard to recover Yes, and you know right now our children are not the way we were your mom and we tell you something like they'll be like It's wrong to watch wrestling and you'll be okay. Okay. I won't watch but right now tell a child It's bad to watch that wrestling and they'll be like why why why they ask question generation They want an explanation for everything that you tell them You see do you think that's a good thing or a bad thing that kids once and wants an explanation for everything I think it's both it's both it's both good and bad. Yes. Yes. It's both good and the bad start with the bad Well the bad because Some of these things you can't you know, you can't even protect them because before you protect them You have to explain right now. They think if you were something nice, you know, they'll be like, oh, I look pretty But now if you tell them I think it's a bit it's a bit better if you learn how to cover yourself Earlier than trying to cover yourself later and you're already used to dressing in a certain way I'm not getting personal with the women. I'm just giving an example here So right now if they ask you why should I not wear this you need to explain Or this will happen or they'll start telling you all your mind is wrong or your mind is corrupt Or you're thinking the wrong way. See so but if it was the early days My I'm sure my mother would even take it and throw it away and there's nothing I would do about it Right now I might even start looking for people to talk to and even talk to my mama because I think my mama is wrong But I think somebody once told me that an old man can see father than even a young boy Standing up a tree. What does that tell you that that wisdom has been there? So they can see father not just by looking even by feeling and understanding it. Yes feeling and understanding it Let's focus on the good now About kids are asking questions. Well, do you experience this all day today? Wow It's every day, especially in class at home. I go home. My son is asking questions. I'm in class. I have 15 So I have 10 who are seeing this 10 who are seeing this they even pick up something from home And you have to explain it as a teacher because again the parents are not there. They're too busy looking for the money So again for us the teachers it has become a burden on us You have to actually take care of that child and feeling that you become the teacher and the parent and the parent Yes, and then the broken families again So you either the mommy in that class you have maybe like two children or three children You also a mommy to that to those children because they rarely see their mommies or even their mommies are never there You see all right. So it actually it becoming but anyway, you asking about the question What is a good the good about it is that they get to understand things because you know if you just tell me don't wear it You've not told me why I should not wear it But if you explain to me why I'll understand and I'll carry that for the rest of my life I'll actually remember it even in days to come And then I'll be able to choose Between what I think is right and what I think is wrong depending on the kind of answer you give me And how you give it to me whether you're giving it a way to break me Or you're giving it in a way to actually build me So bottom line kids are going to ask questions. They definitely will all right. So it's how we approach Yes, the answering all these questions. Yes as parents as teachers even as guardians as uncles as Everywhere you go. Yes. All right. So, uh, I'm trying to understand What are some of the parameters you use to to understand the the IQ of a of a kid maybe If we digress a little bit well, it depends it depends on the upbringing depends on where they come from and also depends on the environment So if you put those three things into Consideration you'll be able to handle that child as an individual because at the end of the day You might have 10 or even have three children in your own home But every child is a different person And also depending on the environment that you expose them to and lately we have our house helps who are really good They're actually the house managers. They're managing our homes for us. Yes They're the house managers. They're managing the homes for us when we are away But now what what are they bringing to the table for this child to copy when I'm away? Am I there to correct the child? Is this person bringing the right thing to the child? Or are they bringing what they've also learned from where they've come from? You see again, they go to school another different environment. Who are they interacting with? How are they relating with each other? Then we go to churches another environment Then when they're playing outside again another environment the neighbors another environment So it's all around us. All right. Yes. So, uh, I feel like your approach to solving this gbv Is more futuristic because you're starting with the child Well, right now we might say, you know, yes, it's futuristic But even right now we have to deal with what we have and that's why again We're even looking on the man on the men side who we already have right now And we're talking to them and telling them it's okay to be angry It's okay to look for someone you can't talk to it doesn't make you any less a human Because you're human being I'm a human being You're a man. Yes, and I am a woman But the bottom line is yes, we're humans and we both feeling we have feelings We feel the pain we feel the pinch and we all hurt And you can actually look for someone talk to without being humiliated or actually being suppressed and being so No, men don't do that. We're changing this because the way things are happening right now It's not how they used to happen in the earlier ages. All right. Yes. Are you working closely with the government when it comes to Well, well, not really but I think we're I think it's a team for me. I believe everybody together everybody achieves more That's what team stands for so if the government can help we are ready for them If this team can help the wire two five four can help. We are ready for everyone Yes, you're here. So yes, you see so already it's everybody if you're willing We are willing because there's no way I can say I can stand as mrs. Universe Kenya and fight this I can't do this alone Neither can my team or our team do this alone. We all need to stand as one Even after they take the crown from you. Yes, I'm not going to stop definitely Yes, there's still a future. There's still a future with you. This is not about the crown I can put down the crown and be the person I need to be this is about jerry kimani What is jerry kimani going to do and that's why even after the competition?
