you to do acting?
5 years ago. There is this youth
group from my hometown walikua wameanzisha production house yao. Wameanzisha
production house yao. So their director aliniona akaona I can act...actually I
did not do the auditions. I was working in a salon. He came to my salon akanipa
scripts and he said "I am giving you 45 minutes unashoot..." yeah
that is how it all started.
Wow thats amazing. What has been your
nickname all along kutoka shulee and also salon?
Honestly, I do not have a
nickname....Mimi hua si mtu wa mambo mob...heheheee...
How many projects have you done so far
Hmmm...7 projects. 3 movies
and 4 series
Which is that one device that you can
never push on with your life without?
I really cannot tell.

status
I am a mother of one. My
lovely champ. He is 8 years. I have never been married.
What are your hobbies and interests?
I have a few collection of
novels, love staying indoors and watch movies. If I am not reading and
travelling.
Besides acting, what is your side hustle?

Water and fresh juice. For the

Have you ever been ditched by a guy?
Like ditch me? Hell NO... I am
a smart lady. Calvin, I see trouble when it is miles away and I am always wise.
I do not give a man the benefit of tearing me apart. The one thing is treasure
the most is my heart.
If given a chance and authority, what
would you change in the film and production industry?
Something that they did leo
ama jana...Burning hizi Tele Mundo soaps and these Niger movies to promote our
local Kenyan talents. You do not need to fly Desmond Eliot to Kenya and we have
people who can give you more than he can.
True. I would totally support you on that.

I would say everyday is a
blessing and a gift to me from The Lord. I always thank God for it be it worse
or good.
That sounds so sweet and encouraging. How
do you take the response you receive from your fans both positive and negative
Ooh...my smiling face does it
all for me...so hata kama negativity pops up, mtu anaona haya. Besides that, I
am friendly and that is me.
Have you received any awards?
Yes. A certificate. That is
the farthest nimeenda. But I hope God has big plans for me in store. I am
pressing on.

Sure. His plans for us are never ending. Which
celebrity artiste do you admire the most?
Siwezi nikawataja wote...but
honestly, any actress ambaye amegather courage ya kubring out character yake
and akatouch hearts za viewers, hata kama ni upcoming artiste may they be young
or old. I personally admire such efforts and salute them.
Your dream ambition?
I wanna take my acting career
to another level and hopefully become this big movie star im my country...
hehehee...
Women are always known to multi-task. Do
you?
It depends...Heheheee...Yes I
can.
What is your greatest fear?
Death...sometimes though not
always. Kwanza before kuachieve my goals.
Everyone has a secret admirer whom they
wish would make a move on them. Who is this man that drives you nuts and if he
made a move the definite answer would be "YES"?
Sina. I'm kinda different.
Where do you see yourself in 2 years?
God knows my next month, hour,
tomorrow better than I do.I live my "NOW" and the rest...is just that.
Do you believe in death and existence of
supernatural powers?

Death yes...
Is the "Sasha" we see on
"Sumu" the same as "Maureen Wanza"
No
In Kenneth Ambani (Benjamin on Sumu)
proposed to you today to marry you, would you give in?
Heheheeee...mmmh...tempting
but... It is a NO
What advice would you give to the youth
out there who have a talent and passion in acting but haven't taken the move?
Get out there and show the
world what you got. Nothing comes easy and let no one convince you otherwise.
No matter how many times you fail in the auditions do not give up. And always
let money be the last thing on your mind. Money comes later.
Wow that is a very strong message. Hope
they will take this up. Thanks a lot for your precious time. We wish you well
in all your endeavors
