After finishing high school, the mother of two embarked on her hustling journey. She started as a Mpesa Lady.
She worked at the Mpesa shop for a while before getting another position as a receptionist for a firm.
This set her on her journey to prominence and meeting Kevin Bahati. But earlier, she wasn’t a superstar.
Her life changed drastically when she started dating Bahati. She instantly became famous after introducing her relationship with Bahati to the public realm.
Her follower numbers on Instagram and Facebook skyrocketed. However, she was jobless and completely reliant on Bahati for money.
But she didn’t feel at ease with Bahati spoiling her for being his girlfriend. She opted to be creative and consider how she would turn her prominence into money.
In 2019, she launched her Youtube channel and started sharing lifestyle vlogs. This was a new phenomenon in Kenya, but she quickly grew in popularity since people adored the Bahati and wanted to learn more about them.
