Finally got my showreel done. Send to your favorite international casting directors because my feet must touch those international grounds this year.
ION, what have you watched from these works?
I don’t think cops have ever processed release forms that fast!🤣🤣🤣

Lesson learnt from today, RECORD! RECORD! And as

Guys! Ni maswali gani mnaulizanga new catch kwa text? Honestly I had forgotten how exhausting this thing can get. As in I’m almost getting to, “Do you miss Mandela?”
Last night we met Kithaka Wa Mberia, author of Kifo Kisimani! 😭
It felt incredible to be in the presence of a person who is a big part of Kenya’s schools history! Long live this icon ♥️
My sister has finally been discharged from Aga khan and we're leaving debt free! Through your help & support we have managed to clear the current bill which was at Ksh 4.3M! SHARON HAS COME HOME! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Thread
Y’all have given me &

Found a hidden bottle of Hennessy in my parents house and because today is my birthday, I’ve assumed they intentionally planted it there for me to find it & celebrate my birthday. These folks of mine with their treasure hunt games. So cute!

Hey friends, my sister got into an accident last week on Saturday along Red Hill road after hitting the newly erected bumps which have no sign & have been placed on a slope. So many people have complained about this! (Can someone fix this?) *Thread*
Watu wa “I don’t watch local content” haki poleni sana. Ndio hii ingine tunatoa! “Mono” is a story about survival in Form One so well written by

& beautifully directed by

. Relatable & Funny AF! Can’t wait for this film to come out!
Solfest was magical!
I loved seeing Kenyans go WILD for Sauti Sol (those ones of Michael Jackson concerts) and sing along to every damn lyric! To loving on our artists more like that!
Long live Sauti Sol!
Our guy is working a normal job & earning a salary? 😲How dare he?!
I worked as a front of house staff in the UK & during Covid I was still earning a salary without doing any work which sponsored my one woman show. It’s sad how Kenyans look down on certain jobs.
Sasa watu wa I don’t watch Kenyan movies, tunaendelea tu tukiwaongezea zingine! Haha.
Coming out in March starring myself &

There’s no dialogue without justice. This boy is traumatized! Half of the video is him breaking down as he recounts that experience. Damn you & your whole government Ruto! You deserve all the bad things happening to you & MORE!

If anything, it has re-energized the public to go back to the streets! There was a collective fatigue going on after the past two weeks but not anymore brother!
Agnes Tirop’s story is a painful one! Her husband murdered her & the man was released in Dec with a 500k cash bail on grounds of good behavior! This country is a joke!
Please watch her story on link below. This is why we marched!

Kilimani have put up a whole pull up banner to create awareness of my sister's accident so they can ask their customers to contribute to her medical fund! My family is eternally grateful to you for standing with Sharon at this time!
Henceforth please refer to me as Nakadi, the name that my Turkana people gave me. Waliniharibu haki 😭

started a call and response of
#RejectTheFinanceBill
and the audience joined in like a choir from the word go!!!! I wanted to cry! Something amazing is happening in different spaces and the government should be scared! 2 more shows today!
SHARON HAS STARTED EATING!!! After 3 weeks of being fed through the tube, she is finally able to eat through her ka mouth! Doctors were meant to test if she can be fed orally tomorrow but when the doc came to test it out today, she did so well akaanzishwa tu! *Thread*
Seeing Kenyan stars mixing with other stars from the continent & globally at the Queen Charlotte event in SA has warmed my heart. Means the continent is opening up & we’re also recognized in the African/Global entertainment industry!
I WENT BALD FOR A ROLE IN A MOVIE!
Sketchy Africans is a comedy film and my first as a lead too! The character i’m playing is BOLD & daring so what better way to embody that than go BALD! Ha!
We premiere the movie on 30th November! This one is a banger!
Y’all remember my audition to be the red carpet host for the

He’s probably the only man Nairobi women are willing to publicly share. Kwanza when he says, “To all my ladies, dzaddzy loves you.” 🥹😭
It’s the toxicity for me!
Wuuiii amkeni!! I have been nominated for a Kalasha in 2 categories!

I hope our government can invest more resources to help women going through this. Also sad to learn that Senjee was denied a US visa to get treatment in Atlanta even though she has a scheduled surgery.
“When we lose our fear, they lose their power”
This video has given me hope! We are no longer “minding our business”
We are looking out for our brothers & sisters & confronting the real CRIMINALS in this nation! God give us all courage to be there for fellow comrades.
Abductions before little children. Mr President how can you tolerate this? Sorry I had forgotten this is your way of instilling fear on us. Let me remind you: the gear is gone! Respect and uphold the Constitution. Remind yourself of the oath you solemnly took.
Also, kuchange nguo is PURE MADNESS!! Backstage business is hilarious. If you were there the first show, nilikuja na trouser ikiwa halfway before the Game Show 🤣🤣
@bryan_emry
& team we did well my guys! Wueh!
Just been informed signs have now been put up on the road. A bit too late for my sister but hopefully that will save another family the trouble of going through this ❤

Nyokabi Macharia and Nice Githinji feature in a special international episode of the new Big Mouth S7 that sees the hit Netflix animated series go global to Kenya and other countries as it takes a closer look at how kids around the world experience puberty.
Thank you for having me Ghana! Brief of this monologue was to incorporate a song from my own country so we went with a goodie oldie! Nerves made me butcher the lyrics!
Anyway, back in time to start rehearsals for

Can I just say that ushago work out slaps differently! I’ve seen finer men in Turkana for the past 1 week than I have in Nairobi for the past 5 years! 🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️

Watu wa “when are we seeing you on screen again” mefikiwa!
We shot a dope ass film in Turkana called Nawi, and it’s coming to the big screen this 24th August at Anga Cinemas (Panari) at 5pm.
I’m really excited for this one!
Link for tickets below!
This scene was so emotional but was my favorite. My background is in Musical Theatre & I loved that this allowed me to express myself in my main form of art.

That film, the one that earned me the 2022 Kalasha Award for Best Lead Actress in a Film? It’s called CHAGUO. No one seems to recognize it every time I mention it
Now showing on
@NetflixKE
Si you watch it so I don’t have to say Chaguo 10 times every time you ask me about it?🤣
We challenged performers from 7 regions across Africa to create 7min plays under 72 hours. Our prompt; explore unexpected connections that emerge in turbulent times, was inspired by the recent protests & will be staged on insta live at 8pm. COME THROUGH!

Me i love this! A relaxed, happy and positive working environment is what we all need. I don’t know why peeps are reacting negatively to this. Happy workers=efficiency at the work place.
Today’s my momma’s 60th!
My confidant, teacher, energizer bunny (imagine there’s a louder & more energetic version of Nyokabi haki) and my favorite storyteller!
If you been around my mom, you know her storytelling is lit!
Imagine being in your 50s, still posting nudes for attention in menopause when you should be chilling with the grandkids. Aging with dignity is no longer a thing
Okay! Let's talk about NPAS then!

Thank you
@SilasMiami
for giving us the courage to speak up! This was a conversation that was needed!
The fact that Ruto has not issued an official statement regarding the floods is wanting & scary. The day after heavy floods started they were launching Bunge towers y’all! 37,595 households affected & still, it is not a national disaster? Our leadership is fumbling big!
