Quotes

[edit]
  • Even when it is evident that women are just as able as men, some individuals stubbornly still think women are weak. Female celebrities face hurdles in their journey just like other people. Some people think they have no emotions but they do, they have feelings too. Women can do even better if they are supported fully. We need society’s support.
  • The pregnancy news is said to have put a pause on rumours that the two were ready to tie the knot. We are definitely keeping an eye on this one.
  • Life is not just ice cream and candy, but there are many challenges. In life, you will face many things that discourage you, but you will be strong because when you know what you want, you get hurt, but what you want to achieve, you achieve.
  • For young girls out there, they should excel in what they do because you never know who's watching or listening. I didn't know about LIMA, but they had representatives in every country. Whenever they want contestants from eight or 10 countries, they always send representatives to identify who's eligible.
  • This award isn't just for me alone. It's for all those in the media and entertainment industry who haven't received recognition yet. To them, I say, keep going, your moment will come. I dedicate this award to all of you as well.
  • I still have a lot to achieve in life. In the morning, I work at the radio station from 6am to 10am, then after I go for rehearsals with the Mashirika troupe. I then go to the night club to spin discs and I finish at 3am and go home.
  • Since I was the first born in my family and my father was dead, I had to wake up and look for ways to move forward. I never thought about the fact that I was just a child, but I focused on what I could do. I wanted to be independent and live on my hard earnings.
  • I do not use drugs; I have never taken beer either. I believe that drugs can prematurely end a person’s career, so I stay away. I am sure that my future gets brighter every day.  I am still far from where I want to reach so I cannot put my life in danger.
